Vivendi now holds over 95% of Gameloft

 

Vivendi now owns 95.94% of the share capital and 95.77% of the voting rights of Gameloft SE following the closing of the public tender offer reopened from June 2 to 15.

The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the French market authority, the “AMF”) published the final results of the offer today, indicating that 25,783,122 shares were tendered during the reopening period.

Vivendi reserves the right to request from the AMF, in the coming three months, in accordance with the commitments published on May 4, 2016 (AMF notice n° 216C1052), the implementation of a squeeze-out for the Gameloft shares.

Given these results and in accordance with what was previously announced, Vivendi will propose at the Gameloft Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 29, 2016 a modification of the Board of Directors so as to reflect the new shareholder structure.
