Adjusted net income increased by 9.4% despite a continued difficult macroeconomic climate. In 2011, Vivendi strengthened its positions in several of its businesses. It seized the opportunity to become SFR’s sole shareholder by buying back Vodafone’s 44% stake in the Group’s largest cash flow contributor. In music, Vivendi entered into an agreement for the proposed acquisition of EMI Recorded Music, which manages legendary recordings, including, for example, those of The Beatles, Maria Callas and Miles Davis. In Poland, Groupe Canal+ finalized a projected merger between its pay-TV platform and a local television company, and in France, it finalized the projected acquisition of the free-to-air channels Direct 8 and Direct Star. These transactions remain subject to the approval of the competent regulatory authorities. The Group is also pursuing a vigorous sustainable development policy, which puts into perspective the economic, social, societal and environmental performances associated with its activities and its geographical presence. Vivendi is approaching the year 2012 with confidence and vigilance in an environment of intense competition, particularly in telecoms in France and in Morocco, and in a still difficult economic environment. We are proposing to the General Meeting to be held this year at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 19th, at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris a dividend of €1 per share. This represents an overall distribution of €1,246 million. We decided to make an allocation of bonus shares to all shareholders at the rate of one new share for every thirty shares owned. This allocation will take place by a deduction from reserves with effect from May 9, 2012 based on the securities account positions recorded on May 8, 2012 (the “Record Date”). The General Meeting is an important event in the life of Vivendi and provides you with an ideal opportunity to obtain information more directly, to express your views and to discuss matters with Management. We hope you will be able to take part in the Meeting, whether in person, by voting by post or electronically via the internet before the Meeting, or by appointing a proxy. You can also follow this important event in the life of the Group live on our website (www.vivendi.com). Thank you for your confidence.
