Vivendi: success of the
2013 employee share capital increase

 

 

The capital increase reserved for Vivendi employees was again a resounding success this year. A record 10,700 people participated. A total of close to 12.3 million new shares were subscribed as part of this scheme for an amount of over 148 million euros, which is also a record.

As a result of this operation, representing 0.93% of the Group’s capital, Vivendi employees now own 3.83% of the capital and are the 5th largest shareholder.

The success of this share capital increase is a proof of employee confidence in the Group and the strategy implemented in recent months to create shareholder value.
