Vivendi and Amber Capital have announced their intention to take legal action to obtain the convening of a shareholders’ meeting at Lagardère, after the latter refused to convene a shareholders’ meeting.

 

It should be noted that yesterday evening, the Lagardère group rejected the request for an exceptional AGM of the investment fund Amber Capital and Vivendi, in which they hold 23.5% and 20% of the capital respectively.

 

The group led by Arnaud Lagardère considers that the legal conditions were not met, while expressing its readiness to open “a constructive and peaceful shareholder dialogue”.

 

The Supervisory Board and the managing partners of Lagardère having refused the respective proposals of Amber Capital and Vivendi, the latter will refer the matter to the Paris Commercial Court,” said Vivendi.

 

Since August 10, the two groups have been bound by a shareholders’ agreement.

 

In a letter sent to Lagardère at the end of August, Amber Capital had asked Lagardère to call a shareholders’ meeting for a partial overhaul of the supervisory board.

 

The investment fund is seeking the dismissal of three members, including the former chairman of the SNCF’s executive board, Guillaume Pepy.

 

In addition, to replace them, Amber Capital intends to propose the appointment of its founder, Joseph Oughourlian, Olivier Fortesa, managing partner of Amber Capital, and Valérie Ohannessian, president of Phémia Conseil.

 

For its part, Vivendi has proposed to Lagardère the appointment of Virginie Banet to the supervisory board of the media and distribution group, replacing Gilles Petit.
