Following the release of false information stating in particular a 10% drop in the number of Canal+ subscribers for September 2015, which negatively impacted its share price, Vivendi was yesterday obliged to issue a press release indicating that in fact the real figure was positive.
Despite this clarification, a new figure was circulated this morning showing a 10% drop in new Canal+ subscribers for September 2015, compared to September 2014. As a matter of fact, the number of new Canal+ subscribers over this period is actually up by 20%.
In an attempt to put an end to this detrimental campaign, Vivendi has decided to file a complaint to the French Stock Exchange Authority (AMF) for the propagation of misleading information, which has negatively affected the Vivendi share price.
