    Paris aris V aris Paris, July, 26 2016 Vivendi and Mediaset: structure of the offer Vivendi confirms, following a request from the AMF and in accordance with market regulation, that on July 25th 2016 it sent a constructive letter to Mediaset relating to the Mediaset Premium acquisition (see press releases of April 8 and July 26), proposing an alternative structure: -A 3.5% share in Vivendi in exchange for: -a 20% share in Mediaset Premium and a 3.5% in Mediaset ; -and convertible bonds into Mediaset shares to be issued by Mediaset to Vivendi (annual instalments) for the remaining amount. Such a structure would fully align the interests of the respective groups. Acquiring a direct stake in Mediaset Premium will enable Vivendi to bring its know-how in Pay-TV, while keeping intact the synergies between pay and free TV activities within the Mediaset group. This proposal represents a more ambitious project, in line with the development of the television market and the strategy developed by our main competitors. It also reinforces Vivendi’s commitment to building a major strategic alliance with Mediaset and Mediaset Premium. About Vivendi Vivendi is an integrated media and content group. The company operates businesses throughout the media value chain, from talent discovery to the creation, production and distribution of content. The main subsidiaries of Vivendi comprise Canal+ Group and Universal Music Group. Canal+ is the leading pay-TV operator in France, and also serves markets in Africa, Poland and Vietnam.

  • Micro-Costs: Inertia in Television Viewing∗
    Micro-costs: Inertia in television viewing∗ Constan¸caEsteves-Sorenson Fabrizio Perretti Yale University Bocconi University January 2012 Abstract We document substantial default effects despite negligible switching costs in a novel setting: television program choice in Italy. Despite the low costs of clicking the remote and of searching across only six channels and despite viewers extensive experience with the decision, show choice depends strongly on whether viewers happened to watch the previous programme on the channel. Specifically, (i) male and female viewership of the news depends on whether the preceding programme appealed to men or women, and (ii) a show's audience increases by 2-4% with an increase of 10% in the demand for the preceding program. These results are robust to endogenous scheduling. This behaviour appears most consistent with procrastination in switching, which stations fully exploit in their scheduling. ∗Corresponding author: Constan¸caEsteves-Sorenson, Yale School of Management, 135 Prospect Street, New Haven, CT, 06520 ([email protected]).

  • "Mediaset Days" Opens in Turin: Two Days of Celebration, Entertainment and Information for the Arrival in Piedmont of the New Digital Tv
    PRESS RELEASE "MEDIASET DAYS" OPENS IN TURIN: TWO DAYS OF CELEBRATION, ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION FOR THE ARRIVAL IN PIEDMONT OF THE NEW DIGITAL TV Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May in Piazza San Carlo For the first time, Mediaset has organised a big outdoor event for television viewers: "Mediaset Days". Two days of music, entertainment and information to celebrate, along with the Piedmont Regional Council and local authorities, the digital switchover in western Piedmont. On 20 May 2009 in Turin, Cuneo and 600 municipalities in the region, the so-called switchover will be introduced, the first phase in the transition of the TV system from analogue to digital-terrestrial. To mark the arrival of a richer and more modern TV in the homes of almost 3 million Italians, Mediaset will construct in Piazza San Carlo a digital village: for two days, Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May, citizens will have an opportunity to see the new system in operation which, in addition to improving the existing channels, will enhance the viewing experience. It will also show all the new channels and services that can be received with the digital terrestrial system. The installation will be open from 10am to 8pm on both Saturday and Sunday, and will also be visited by numerous stars and presenters from Mediaset's channels who will come to Turin and entertain the public in Piazza San Carlo. In addition, "Mediaset Days" will also be two days of celebration and entertainment.
