Vivendi / Mediaset: Clarification

Regulatory News:

Vivendi (Paris:VIV) wishes to clarify that the disagreement with Mediaset concerns the Mediaset Premium business plan, which determined the basis for Vivendi’s decision to execute the 8^th April 2016 agreement.

According to Vivendi’s evaluation, this business plan, which forecasts a break-even point for Mediaset Premium as rapidly as 2018, is based on unrealistic assumptions, as pointed out by the Vivendi’s auditors Deloitte, in its June 2016 due diligence audit report: "the Business Plan appears unachievable and would need to be seriously downgraded in order to be realistic”.

Vivendi continues to strive for an agreement with Mediaset and remains more than open to dialogue.
