Vivendi Will Appeal to Overturn Jury Verdict

Vivendi announced today that it strongly disagrees with the decision returned on June 25, 2012 by a jury in a lawsuit filed by Liberty Media Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Group intends to pursue all available paths of action to overturn the verdict or reduce the damages award.

The jury limited the damages Vivendi may be required to pay to 765 million euros.

Vivendi believes that there are many grounds for appeal and continues to believe strongly that it did nothing wrong and will continue to vigorously defend itself in any subsequent appellant proceedings.
