Vivendi: 2015 Shareholders’ Meeting

 

The Vivendi Shareholders’ Meeting, held today with a quorum of 59% compared to 57.4% last year, approved by a majority vote all the ordinary resolutions 1 to 13. In particular, it approved the distribution of a €1 euro dividend to be paid on April 23, 2015, and appointed Tarak Ben Ammar and Dominique Delport as members of the Supervisory Board by respectively 97% and 94%.

Extraordinary resolutions 15 and 16, concerning authorization to the Management Board to increase the share capital of the company, were rejected since the positive votes of respectively 65.28% and 63.87% did not meet the two-thirds majority required.

Extraordinary resolutions 14, and 17 to 20, were approved.

Resolution A, concerning the non-application of double voting rights for registered shares held for more than two years, was rejected by 401.6 million votes. To be approved, the resolution should have obtained 803.2 million votes; however, it only obtained 402.5 million votes in its favor. The “Florange” law will therefore be applied to Vivendi.

Details on the votes of all resolutions are available on the Vivendi website: /individual/shareholders-meeting/
