PARIS--The supervisory board of French media and
telecommunications group Vivendi SA (VIV.FR) will propose that
shareholders approve the appointment of five members to the board,
including industrialist Vincent Bollore and Air France-KLM (AF.FR)
Chief Executive Alexandre de Juniac.
The company's supervisory board will also propose Nathalie
Bricault as the employee shareholders' representative, Pascal
Cagni, a former executive at Apple (AAPL), and Yseult Costes, the
chairman and CEO of interactive marketing company 1000mercis. The
company will hold its annual general shareholders meeting on April
30.
Mr. Bollore--whose eponymous family investment firm has
accumulated more than 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) of shares in
Vivendi--and Mr. Cagni were already appointed to the board in
December. Mr. Cagni is currently a non-voting board member and will
become a full member with voting rights if his appointment is
approved by the company's shareholders.
The company said Christophe de Margerie, oil company Total's
(TOT) CEO, and Maureen Chiquet decided not to renew for another
term as board members.
