Regulatory News:
Comme annoncé le 11 décembre dernier, Vivendi (Paris:VIV) a
écrit ce jour au Conseil d’administration de Telecom Italia pour
lui demander de convoquer, dans les meilleurs délais, une assemblée
générale des actionnaires afin de nommer de nouveaux commissaires
aux comptes.
Vivendi a également demandé que la révocation de cinq membres du
Conseil issus de la liste d’Elliott soit inscrite à l’ordre du
jour de cette assemblée générale. Ceux-ci ont fait preuve d’un
manque substantiel d’indépendance et de respect envers les règles
de gouvernance les plus élémentaires et fondamentales, affectant
négativement l’organisation et l’image de Telecom Italia. Les
administrateurs dont la révocation est demandée sont : Fulvio
Conti, Alfredo Altavilla, Massimo Ferrari, Dante Roscini et Paola
Giannotti de Ponti.
Vivendi a demandé, en remplacement, que soit proposée à cette
assemblée générale la nomination de cinq nouveaux membres au
Conseil, tous indépendants, disposant d’une solide expérience
professionnelle et avec quatre nouveaux membres de nationalité
italienne. Les candidats proposés sont : Flavia Mazzarella, Franco
Bernabè, Gabriele Galateri di Genola, Rob van der Valk et Francesco
Vatalaro.
Les biographies des candidats proposés sont jointes.
A propos de Vivendi
Vivendi travaille depuis 2014 à la construction d’un groupe
européen d’envergure mondiale dans les contenus, les médias et la
communication. La stratégie claire et ambitieuse fixée il y a
quatre ans a été mise en œuvre avec succès par le Directoire. Dans
la création de contenus, tout d’abord : le Groupe détient des
actifs puissants et complémentaires dans la musique (Universal
Music Group), les jeux vidéo mobiles (Gameloft) et les séries et
films (Groupe Canal+), qui sont aujourd’hui les trois contenus de
divertissement les plus consommés dans le monde. Dans la
distribution, ensuite : Vivendi a acquis et repositionné
Dailymotion pour doter nos contenus d’une nouvelle vitrine
numérique. Le Groupe s’est également rapproché de plusieurs
opérateurs télécoms et plateformes afin d’élargir au maximum ses
réseaux de distribution. L’exercice 2017 a permis d’ajouter une
troisième brique à cet ensemble : la communication avec Havas.
Havas dispose d’une expertise créative unique dans la valorisation
des contenus gratuits et dans les formats courts, de plus en plus
utilisés sur mobile. Par ailleurs, dans le spectacle vivant, la
valorisation de franchises, la billetterie et le numérique, Vivendi
explore de nouvelles activités complémentaires de ses métiers,
fédérées sous Vivendi Village. Les différentes entités du Groupe de
Vivendi travaillent désormais pleinement ensemble, créant ainsi
plus de valeur, au sein d’un groupe industriel intégré.
