- Building on its position
as a global leader in films for capacitors, the Bolloré Group made electricity storage a major priority for development. It has developed a unique technology in the form of Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP®) batteries, produced by its Blue Solutions subsidiary. Using this technology, the Group has diversified into mobile applications (car-sharing systems and electric cars, buses and trams) and battery-driven stationary applications, as well as systems for managing these applications (IER, Polyconseil). —

CNews Matin and a stake
in Gaumont. The Group is also present in the telecoms sector. Lastly, in October 2016, it strengthened its stake in Vivendi and crossed the 20% threshold in capital and voting rights.

Message from the Chairman, Vincent Bolloré
04
Despite a depressed international environment for the transport and logistics segment, particularly in Africa, the Bolloré Group was able to continue, in 2016, to invest in port terminals and electricity storage. The Communications segment had a good 2016, with solid performance by Havas. Turnover for the year stood at 10.1 billion euros, down by 5% at constant scope and exchange rates, due to the drop in freight forwarding rates and raw materials’ prices which affected the Transport and logistics businesses. Operating income stood at 627 million euros, down by 11% compared with fiscal year 2015, due to the decline in operating income of the Transportation and logistics business and the increase in expenses in the Electricity storage business. —
expertise of 36,000 employees located across a hundred countries. Today, Bolloré Transport & Logistics is one of the five largest logistics companies in Europe, the tenth largest in the world and a major transport group in Africa where it operates 18 port concessions. Income from the Communications businesses was driven by the strong performance of Havas, which achieved turnover of 2.3 billion euros (+3%) and operating income of 297 million euros, and by the Media division. Earnings for the year also include a share of Vivendi’s net income of 16 million euros as of October 7, 2016, the date from which the company was consolidated by the equity method. Following the increase in the Vivendi stake in October 2016, through the early unwinding and cash settlement of the hedging and financing transactions on 2.6% of the share capital, borrowing 34.7 million shares (2.7% of the share capital) and purchasing call options exercisable at any time on 34.7 million shares (2.7% of the share capital), the Bolloré Group crossed the 20% threshold of capital and voting rights. Taking into account the double voting rights, the Group exceeded 25% of the voting rights in March 2017 and will hold by the end of April 2017 approximately 29% of the Vivendi voting rights. It became the reference shareholder
In 2016, Bolloré Transport & Logistics achieved turnover of 7.4 billion euros, a decline of 10% (8.3 billion euros in 2015) and operating income of 545 million euros, down by 10%. The good performance of freight forwarding in Europe, Asia and the United States, and the majority of port terminals in Africa did not offset the decline in operating income from logistics and rail in Africa, following the fall in oil and raw materials’ prices and a serious rail accident in Cameroon. In 2016, Bolloré Energy achieved turnover of 1.9 billion euros, a drop of 12% against a backdrop of falling petroleum prices and volumes. Despite weaker turnover, operating income in 2016 showed strong growth (+47%) thanks to positive storage effects and the good performance of the distribution business in France and Germany as well as the logistics business in France (SFDM). Works to upgrade the Petit-Couronne depot facilities, acquired in 2015, continued. Since 2016, the Group’s Transportation and logistics businesses, operating in the port, rail, freight forwarding and oil logistics segments, are now combined under a single brand, Bolloré Transport & Logistics, which relies on the

- shares at 17 euros per share. To this end, a proposed tender
offer will be filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) before the end of the first half of 2017. Shareholders who decide to support Blue Solutions in its future capital expenditure plans will at a later date have an exit guarantee under the same terms and conditions following the publication of the 2019 financial statements. The Bolloré Group, which celebrated its 195th anniversary at the beginning of the year, will continue its capital expenditure in the three main business segments, Transportation and logistics, Communications and media and Electricity storage. We are fortunate that our share relies on capital majority controlled by the family, which enables us to follow a reasonable financial policy while investing for the long term. The Group will continue its hallmark entrepreneurship. We will build this on the basis of a vision, because through that we can create both value and jobs. This is what we have always done and will continue to do, concretely and with determination. —
Group, one of the leading television groups with the Canal+ group and video games with Gameloft, whose goal is to create one of the leading European groups in communications and media. The electricity storage business saw its turnover grow 17% totaling 310 million euros in 2016. Growth was driven by the dedicated terminals business, vehicle sales (particularly the E-Mehari) and Bluebus as well as by the steady growth in car-sharing. The car-sharing fleet totaled nearly 4,900 electric vehicles at the end of 2016 (4,300 in 2015) with around 6 million leases. However, 2016 presented a contrast for Blue Solutions, whose turnover of 109.3 million euros (121.9 million euros in 2015) dropped by 10%. The sustained level of activity in mobility applications (Bluebus, E-Mehari) failed to compensate for the delay in sales in stationary electricity storage and the slowdown in deliveries for car-sharing reflecting the longer life of batteries installed in the existing vehicle fleet. New developments and the commercial success of Blue Solutions in mobility applications also marked the year with the delivery of the first 12-meter long Bluebuses to the RATP in Paris; the successful marketing of the E-Mehari developed with the PSA Peugeot Citroën group, and winning international calls for tenders in Singapore and Los Angeles to set up electric vehicle car-sharing services. These successes reflect the Group’s proven expertise in mobility applications and both the quality and viability of the Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP®) technology. However, competition is more intense than expected and developing the benefits of the LMP® technology will still require very significant capital expenditure. Blue Solutions therefore needs more time to develop its competitive advantages and address the parallel development of lithium-ion competitors. In this context, while remaining confident in the outlook for LMP® technology but wishing to maintain a reasonable growth rate and continue investing for the long term, the Group decided to offer Blue Solutions shareholders (listed in 2013 at 14.50 euros per share) looking to exit an initial opportunity to sell their Blue Solutions
“In 2017, the Group’s 195th anniversary, we will continue our capital expenditure through the digitization of transportation business lines, the creation of a global leader in media and communications, and enhancing the performance in electricity storage.” —
