Ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, welcome to the 2026 annual general meeting of the Vivendi Group. Thank you, of course, for being here this morning, and I'd also like to greet those who are following us online. Thank you also to the Casino de Paris teams for the first time hosting Vivendi's AGM, and I'd like to remind you that the Casino de Paris belongs to the Lagardère Group, of which Vivendi is a shareholder. First of all, I propose that we proceed with formalities in order to formally open our general meeting.
I'd like to remind you that our shareholders meeting was convened today by notice of meeting published in the BALO, 1st of April 2026, the legal announcement journal, Affiches Parisiennes of the same date, as well as by letters addressed to all registered shareholders. On the desk of the meeting over there on stage, there are the documents that have been available to shareholders in the forms and within the time limits prescribed by law. I'd like to remind you, your assembly is called upon to vote on the following agenda. Firstly, the approval of the reports and accounts for FY 2025, setting of the dividend, approval of the statutory auditor's report on regulated agreements, approval of elements of 2025-2026 remuneration of corporate officers, renewal of Madame Maud Fontenoy and the ratification cooptation of Mr. Bernard Osta as members of the Supervisory Board.
Authorizations relating to share buybacks and cancellations, as well as delegations relating to capital increases reserved for employees. Bringing the articles of association into line with the new legislative regulatory provision relating to decision-making by written consultation of the board in terms of conditions for participating in AGMs. The provisional quorum stands at 69.56%. The AGM is therefore regularly constituted. I see shareholders are still arriving, and the final quorum will be decided by Frédéric before we vote. For the formation of the bureau, I'm very pleased to welcome Madame Yannick Bolloré, representing companies Bolloré and Compagnie de l'Odet. Madame Florence Tricoire, representing the Vivendi Employee Mutual Fund, our main shareholders present who've agreed to act as scrutineers.
Very good. I propose to the meeting, as I do every year, to appoint Mr. Frédéric Crépin, here present, as secretary to the meeting.
Maître Denis Calippe and [Philippe Audran-Baylis] have checked the signing-in operations. They will oversee smooth running of votes. Present at my side like last year, Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chairman of the Management Board, Céline Merle-Béral, Frédéric Crépin, and François Laroze, all three members of the Management Board, fully constituted. The assembly is therefore officially open. Dear shareholders, first of all, I'd like you to spare a thought for Mr. Philippe Labro, who was elected a member of Vivendi's board at the last AGM and who passed away, sadly, on June 4th. Philippe Labro, a great figure in culture and journalism, and we pay tribute to his memory today with a great deal of emotion and gratitude.
Following his passing, the board co-opted Mr. Bernard Osta to succeed him, and subject to the ratification of this cooptation today, Bernard Osta will put his experience as an executive at the service of the board by chairing the Governance, Appointments, and Remuneration Committee, as well as serving as vice chair and independent lead member. We're delighted also to be able to count on his commitment at our side. I'd also like to welcome the arrival last year of Madame Laure Delahousse, who will chair the Audit and Sustainability Committee. These changes, as you'll see, reflect the new composition of the Supervisory Board. As you know, the terms of office of Mr. Philippe Bénacin, Madame Cathia Lawson-Hall, and Miss Katie Stanton expire today. All three joined the board 12 years ago and chose not to seek the renewal of your mandate for reasons of independence.
On behalf of the supervisory board and Vivendi shareholders, I'd like to warmly thank the three of you for your contribution over the past three years. Thank you very much. Madame Maud Fontenoy joined the board in April 2022, and we propose that you renew her mandate for a four-year period. Subject to your approval, the board will number six members with Laurent Dassault and Sandrine Le Bihan, whom I'd like to greet. A perfectly balanced representation between women and men, and two-thirds independent members. Thank you to all members of the board. I'd also like to thank Arnaud de Puyfontaine, as well as members of the management board for the quality of their work. We propose to renew the management board in its current composition. Four members, Chairman Arnaud, General Secretary Frédéric Crépin, our CFO François Laroze, and our Head of Human Resources Strategy, Céline Merle-Béral.
I'd also, of course, like to thank all the group teams for their commitment and engagement in a particularly foundational year. Thank you, dear shareholders, for your presence and loyalty over these many years. 2025 was clearly a pivotal year for Vivendi, the first full financial year since the group's split. Full financial year in its new configuration. Vivendi is now a group refocused on its industrial assets and financial holdings, Gameloft, UMG, Banijay Group, Lagardère, MediaForEurope, MFE, and Prisa. This refocusing was accompanied by clear decision, the sale of our stakes in Telecom Italia, TIM, the telco operator Poste Italiane, which wanted to strengthen its position in the capital, as well as its sale of the stake in Telefónica. We decided to exit telecommunications to focus fully on our core business. Our strategy is clear and straightforward. Discipline, selectivity, and long-term value creation.
Arnaud de Puyfontaine will return to that in a few moments. The disposals have significantly strengthened our financial structure. In parallel, we've adapted our organization and continued our cost-cutting efforts to better align with our new scope in a market that remains volatile. The value of this transformation is not yet fully reflected, but our course is clear, and we're confident in future value creation. The year 2025 was also marked by ongoing procedure on the issue of Bolloré Group's control of Vivendi and the possible implementation of a buyout offer for Vivendi. On November 28th, 2025, the Fourth Court of Cassation held that control had not been established, referred the case to the Court of Appeal. We're waiting for the decision of said Court of Appeal by next summer. Hearing set in May.
In July 2025, the European Commission also sent Vivendi a statement of objections as part of its investigation initiated in 2023 into possible early takeover, gun jumping of Lagardère. Vivendi responded in October 2025 by setting out all the arguments that should justify its exoneration. We're waiting on the commission's decision following the hearing of December last year. In an uncertain geopolitical and macro environment, Vivendi benefits from its robust positioning with assets little exposed to international trade tensions. Results presented last March present the solidity of our trajectory. François Laroze, CFO, will set out that in a few moments. Continuing our efforts for social and environmental commitment, strong conviction that sustainable performance requires responsibility. Céline Merle-Béral will return to that. The year 2026 is opening under the sign of consolidation and development.
True to its identity, Vivendi intends to fully leverage the profound transformations of our industries driven by digital and AI. In this context, one thing doesn't change, the value of content, their quality, their authenticity, and responsibility are more than ever crucial. That is where the difference lies. That is where trust is built. We're addressing this new stage with confidence, driven by the quality of our assets, expertise, and commitments of our team. The rest of our story remains to be written. We have all the assets to build it. I'd now like to give the floor to Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chairman of the Management Board. Thank you for your attention.
Yannick, thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, shareholders, 2025 for Vivendi was a year of transition.
After the historic split back in December 2024, which saw Canal+, Havas, Louis Hachette Group become each independent, each listed on their own respective markets. We've since turned a page from one chapter, moving into a new one. This new chapter is smaller. It's much more readily accessible for people. It's more ambitious. This is a chapter built upon a number of key stakes, strategic holdings in content, media, and entertainment. First, UMG, Universal Music Group. We have 9.9% of overall stakes, and it's been in the press recently after the announcement of a non-binding offer by Pershing Square. There you have the global content production and distribution group, Banijay. We have a 19.1% stake. MediaForEurope, formerly Mediaset, with a 15.9% stake, and the Spanish group, Prisa, with a stake of 11.2%.
Vivendi also holds a stake in publishing and travel retail with Lagardère, and another in the press sector with Prisma Media, both with a stake of around 14%. In addition to these holdings, there are two 100% owned operating assets, Gameloft and V Collection, and I will talk about them in just a moment. This is a set of assets that are united by one singular conviction: quality content in a world saturated with information, news, transformed by AI. This is, for us, a considerable competitive advantage. As of December 31st, 2025, the value of our portfolio amounts to EUR 5.532 billion, including Gameloft and our various treasury shares. The overall value of the portfolio reached EUR 5.87 billion. In financial terms, the year was one under control.
We finalized our withdrawal from telecommunications, a sector which is now far from our core business, with the stake in TIM, Telecom Italia, sold to Poste Italiane under good conditions in a two-stage divestment, and we also sold our entire stake in Telefónica. These operations have meant we could significantly reduce our debt level, which now stands at EUR 1.5 billion as of December 31, 2025, compared to EUR 2.57 billion at the end of 2024. That is a reduction of over EUR 1 billion in just one year. At the same time, we continued to streamline costs at head office so that we could adapt it to the new business scope. We concluded a collective contractual termination agreement that covers about 60 positions within our holding company.
Well, now I'd like to quickly say a few words about Gameloft before its CEO, Alexandre de Rochefort, presents the more specific results. Gameloft is steadily and successfully pursuing its own transformation. From a business historically focused on mobile video games, the group is now expanding its business footprint into PC, console, and subscription platforms, in line with major trends in cloud gaming and streaming. The global video game market represents nearly $190 billion. Gameloft within that space embodies Vivendi's ability to provide long-term support to a high-potential creative asset. Alexandre will give you the full measure of what has been accomplished over the past year and what remains to be done. At the beginning of the month, we finalized acquisitions for Prisma Media's luxury division, which, now incorporated into Vivendi, gives rise to a new subsidiary, a new sector for us called V Collection.
V Collection brings together exceptional premium brands. First and foremost, the oldest fashion magazine, Harper's Bazaar, created back in 1867. In addition to that, you have Côté Maison, 100 Idées, Milk Magazine, The Good Life. Five brands, each brand embodying, within their respective spaces, editorial stringency, which is much sought after both by advertisers and readers alike. The luxury is a sector that responds to its own codes within long-term frameworks. Harper's Bazaar in France has demonstrated in just three years, thanks to the talent of its editor-in-chief, Olivier Lalanne, and all of his teams, they have shored up a leading position.
It's a drive that V Collection intends to build upon to become the key reference, the benchmark for luxury media and cultural content in France and internationally by capitalizing, in particular, on our privileged links with the Hearst Group and the Hearst Corporation, as we have already begun to do with the Harper's Bazaar brand. To steer this project forward, we've entrusted management of V Collection to Clément Pelletier, who, with background in media and publishing, will have to lead this project with all the ambition and rigor it deserves. Now, let's quickly see-
Obviously, we want everyone to read and love these brands as much as possible. With V Collection, Vivendi is fully leaning into its role as an incubator and mentor of high potential creative assets. Something that it knows perfectly well, as evidenced by its support for Universal Music Group up until its successful IPO in 2021. These movements, as we disengage from telecoms, we strengthen our position in Lagardère, we launch V Collection. All of this is shaping the consistency and coherence of our trajectory forward. Vivendi is a player. We operate in content creativity and meaningful industries. At a time when AI is transforming production and distribution of content, quality, authentic, and trusted assets are essential things to make us step out from competition. This is our deep conviction, our belief, and it is that on which we build our strategy.
As Yannick pointed out, from a legal point of view, we're still waiting for new decisions to come through. We are following these cases with the utmost attention. Before concluding, I would just like to join Yannick to pay tribute to Philippe Labro. We pay tribute to his memory with respect and gratitude.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, despite the uncertainties that we faced in 2025, Vivendi moved forward steadily. We executed our strategy with discipline and a clear sight. We strengthened our balance sheet, we clarified our business scope, and we prepared for future growth drivers.
This ability to combine financial rigor on one side and industrial ambition on the other will continue to guide our action as we push forward following key objectives to remunerate shareholders, to reduce our debt, in particular by optimizing our structural costs, and finally, to fully lean into our role as an active minority or majority investor, depending on the opportunities that we have identified. Therefore, in coming months, we have great confidence and great determination, true to our commitment to you and to each of our stakeholders. Thank you for your attention.
Arnaud, thank you very much. I would now like to hand over to François Laroze, our CFO.
Good morning to all, dear shareholders. It's now my duty to present the group's 2025 financial results summarized here. The results are published on March 12th.
The portfolio holdings held by your group represented a value of EUR 5.5 billion at the end of 2025, down compared to 2024, mainly due to the sale of shares net of purchases. In this context, net debt amounted to EUR 1.5 billion, down EUR 1.1 billion over last year. Revenue amounted to EUR 307 million in 2025, up 4% thanks to Gameloft, and EBITDA amounted to EUR 45 million. The net income Group share [is] a profit of EUR 20 million in 2024. It included the effects of the group's spin-off. EBITDA by business Group is up EUR 46 million, thanks to doubling of Gameloft's profit, significant reduction in corporate costs, increase in UMG's share of earnings Group. EBITDA stands at EUR 45 million in 2025. As reported, revenue totaled EUR 307 million in 2025 and EBITDA at EUR 45 million. EBIT operating result positive at EUR 18 million, compared to a loss of EUR 264 million in 2024.
The 2024 financial statements were impacted by the impairment of Gameloft's goodwill for EUR 140 million, a settled agreement with institutional investors for EUR 96 million. Income received from our financial investments, essentially the dividends received, offset the increase in the cost of financing after taking into account the net income of divested operations. Net income group share shows a profit of EUR 20 million, compared to a loss of EUR 6 billion in 2024, which included the accounting consequences of the demerger. Portfolio of listed investments that Arnaud's just discussed represented a value of EUR 5.5 billion at the share price of December 31st, 2025 as previously indicated. The main movements in our portfolio of listed investments came from the sale of TIM and Telefónica shares for EUR 1.35 billion.
The purchases in Lagardère shares for EUR 296 million are mainly related to the exercise of Lagardère transfer rights subscribed by certain shareholders during Vivendi's public offer in 2022. The group, moreover, received EUR 155 million in dividends in 2025 from its listed shareholdings. Let's look at the performance of our unlisted asset, Gameloft, which is 100% owned by Vivendi. In 2025, Gameloft achieved revenue of EUR 303 million, up 4%.
Driven by the expansion of PC console platform revenue represented 47% of revenue as compared to 42% in 2024. EBITDA for 2025 came in at EUR 15 million as compared to EUR 8 million at December 31st, 2024. Continued improvement of profitability is due to the growth in activity driven by the success of Disney Dreamlight Valley and the positive effects of cost reduction plans implemented, closure of several studios, more selected investments, particularly in marketing. Let's now spend a few moments on the evolving financial debt. Net financial debt decreased from EUR 2.6 billion at the end of 2024 to EUR 1.5 billion at the end of 2025. The notable elements that marked the change in the group's financial debt are mainly, as we said, the sale of our stakes in TIM and Telefónica for EUR 1.35 billion. Sale of GVA shares to Canal+ for EUR 66 million.
An acquisition of Lagardère shares for EUR 296 million, mainly related to sell rights granted in 2022. Lastly, partial repayment of the loan granted to Lagardère for EUR 50 million. Consequently, our financial position remains very strong, with EUR 4.7 billion in equity at end of December last year as against EUR 4.6 billion at the end of 2024. Net financial debt of EUR 1.5 billion and a portfolio of listed securities valued at EUR 5.5 billion at December 31st, 2025. A few words now on Vivendi's corporate results. Loss is of EUR 92 million compared to a loss of EUR 229 million in 2024, reflects the strong reduction in corporate costs in 2025. In 2024, it included the cost generated by the implementation of the merger. That's EUR 80 million.
Financial result was income of EUR 527 million, includes dividends received EUR 158 million, including UMG, EUR 95 million, but also the positive impact of disposal of TIM and GVA shares for a total of EUR 490 million. In total, Vivendi's net income is a profit of EUR 446 million. Turning now to the appropriation of profits. It's proposed that you approve resolution number four, i.e., the payment in cash in respect of 2025, an ordinary dividend, EUR 40 million or EUR 0.04 per share to be deducted from the profit for the year. If approved, this dividend will be paid out as of 24th of April 2026, with the ex-dividend date set at 22nd of April 2026. A few words now regarding Q1 financial information reported this morning before market opening. Firstly, listed investments as of March 31, 2026.
It stands at EUR 4.4 billion, down more than EUR 1 billion compared to the end of December 2025. This decline is attributable to the decline in UMG and MFE share prices. Nevertheless, given the recent evolution of our equity securities, in particular UMG. We remind you, the amount of our portfolio at April 20 last night amounted to EUR 5.2 billion, close to that at December 31, 2025. In Q1 2026, revenue amounts to EUR 69 million, up 1.3% compared with Q1 2025 at constant scope and exchange rate. These figures reflects the activity of Gameloft, which in a challenging environment for the video game industry, is performing well with continued growth of the PC console segment, which now represents 51% of revenue as compared to 49% for the mobile segment.
As a reminder, on March 31st, 2026, Vivendi acquired the luxury division of Prisma, which now bears the name V Collection, described by our notes as of Q2 2026, that V Collection will contribute to the consolidated revenue of Vivendi. Furthermore, Vivendi concomitantly acquired a stake of 13.58% in Prisma Group, the holding company of Prisma Media, as part of a capital increase in cash. Finally, let me remind you that on January 12, 2026, as part of our initiatives to reduce our corporate costs, Vivendi initiated an information consultation procedure with employee representatives as part of the implementation of a collective contractual termination at group's headquarters. On the 18th of March, an agreement was signed with the trade unions, validated by the DRIEETS on April 2nd for implementation as of the 1st of June 2026. Ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, thank you for your attention.
François, thank you very much. We're now going to hear from Céline Merle-Béral.
Yannick, thank you very much. Good morning, dear shareholders. It is my pleasure to talk to you about the Group's CSR policy, one which we have been implementing for many years now. We strive for responsibility. It is a deep-held conviction that companies today have an essential role to play in building a society which is more inclusive, and companies that need to actively contribute to the fight against climate change. On top of that, we operate within a highly strict framework. Since the demerger and its entry into the SBF 120, Vivendi has been operating in a regulatory environment that reinforces expectations in terms of extra-financial performance. As you can see on the screen, with more than 2,500 employees in 19 countries, Vivendi and Gameloft intend to fully lean into their role, driven by social, environmental, and societal responsibility.
Our CSR program, Creation for the Future, guides everything that we do. Thanks to that, year after year, we make significant progress for the Group. Progress that has been recognized this year by the ratings agency MSCI, which raised Vivendi's rating from BBB to A. I would like to thank all teams at headquarters and at Gameloft, whose commitment has been decisive in advancing these issues forward. Let me now present to you our main results, starting with the environment. On the slide, you can see that in 2025, Vivendi reduced its greenhouse gas emissions related to its businesses by 27% for the first time. This decrease has been observed across all measurement scopes. This is a major step forward for our Group because it shows that financial and environmental performance can go hand in hand.
We remain fully committed to aligning our activities, our businesses, with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and we hope to help limit global warming. In terms of energy, 78% of electricity used by the Group around the world is now renewable, a figure that has reached 100% in France. You can see here on the next slide that we are putting in place concrete action to pursue issues to help people who are far removed from culture have access to culture. This is through our philanthropic program, Cultural Moments. It is a solidarity cultural program which has made it possible for over 350 young people in the Île-de-France Great Paris region to have access to unique experiences in venues such as Olympia, the Seine Musicale, or the Théâtre de l'Odéon. Third pillar of our CSR program is for gender diversity and inclusion.
In a historically male-dominated technology and digital sector, Gameloft has undertaken numerous initiatives to favor women's careers. Thanks to which it is now possible for us to have nearly 30% of our workforce made up by women, five points above national average in digital professions, which currently stands at 24%. In terms of disability, we still have progress to make, but actions that have been put in place are already bearing fruit. This year, the employment rate of people with disabilities has increased by 0.2% worldwide. In France, Vivendi's growth remained at 3.5% after a sharp increase in 2025. These results are part of a much broader approach, which includes our actions to favor equal opportunity and support employee caregivers. They testify to our determination to make concrete progress on these issues, which are the heart of key transformations in the world of work.
This brings me to another major issue, AI. AI is a major transformation that we are seeing in the workplace. It is having a profound impact on all of our professions. More than just a tool, AI is reshaping the way we create, produce, and work. In this context, our ambition is clear. We need to have AI as a key driver for performance and transformation. This implies going far beyond just acculturation. We need to help our employees quickly learn new skills so that they are ready not just to use these new technologies, but to also fully incorporate them into their day-to-day practices and skill sets. We have already been heading forward in this vein for the past few years. We have encouraged teams to experiment through projects, tests, pilots, in order to develop a concrete understanding of how we can use this technology.
We've now taken a new step forward by deploying large-scale training programs for AI for all Vivendi and Gameloft employees. To date, more than 40% of employees have been trained. That means we have put in place more than 1,400 hours of training, covering a wide spectrum from early users to the most advanced technical users, always depending on the needs of our various business lines. Our goal now is to accelerate further, generalize skills, structure the deployment, bring out a new generation of talent who can take full advantage of AI. AI for us is not just an opportunity, it is a determining factor in our future competitiveness, and it is one to help us stand out from the crowd. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Céline. Now we can move on to the work of our Audit and Sustainability Committee.
For that, I am pleased to invite to the stage Cathia Lawson-Hall.
Yannick, thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. As a member of the Supervisory Board and Chair of Vivendi's Audit and Sustainability Committee, I am pleased to present to you today our committee's report here at the 2026 AGM. The AGM marks the end of my duties as Chair of the Audit and Sustainability Committee. It is therefore with a specific level of emotion that I speak to you today. 2025 was the first full business year for the group in its new scope, following the spin-off end of 2024. A pivotal year during which the group continued transformation, particularly with Gameloft and a portfolio of leading financial assets. While teams maintained solid operations at head office and solid governance, two key factors that have always characterized Vivendi.
Given this backdrop, the Audit and Sustainability Committee continued its work with a keen eye, ensuring quality control over the group's activities for both financial and non-financial information. During its three sessions in 2025, held again in presence of our statutory auditors, the committee looked at quite closely the financial statements for the year, the budget, the evolving financial asset portfolio, and work carried out by internal audit teams. The committee also focused on key risks to which Vivendi was exposed, be it financial, legal, tax, operational issues at Gameloft, or also compliance issues. In particular, we kept a close eye on ongoing litigation. We looked at operational internal control systems, and we also kept a close eye on developments in compliance and insurance.
In terms of sustainability, 2025 was the second year that Vivendi complied with the non-financial reporting requirements of the CSRD directive, particularly with regard to the reduction of carbon footprints. The committee also paid close attention to progress at head office and also within its operational divisions. Finally, in line with the transformation that is currently underway, the Audit and Sustainability Committee will pay particular attention in 2026 to regulatory developments for non-financial matters. This is following the European Sustainability Omnibus that was adopted at the end of 2025. Again, in this backdrop, Vivendi may no longer fall within the scope of the CSRD. This is a point that the committee will follow closely. I would like to warmly thank all of Vivendi's teams for quality information and quality work that they presented throughout the year, and I would like to thank you for your attention.
Cathia, thank you very much. Thank you for such fine work over the past 12 years as an independent member of the Supervisory Board and Chair of Vivendi's Audit and Sustainability Committee. Thank you very much, Cathia. We can now move on to our statutory auditors, presided by Mr. Jean-François Baloteaud.
[Foreign language] Thank you, Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, shareholders, on behalf of the Board of Auditors, Deloitte, and Grant Thornton, I have the honor to report on our mission and to present the reports that we've drawn up for your attention in connection with the combined shareholders meeting held today. Our reports were made available to you by the company, are included in the universal registration document that you found on arrival. I propose, therefore, that in accordance with the practice of this meeting, to summarize the terms of these reports, starting with those relating to the annual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with our standards of professional practice. The objective of our engagement is to obtain reasonable assurance on the fairness and regularity of the statements and to verify that they're free from material misstatement.
We informed your company's Executive and Supervisory Boards, as well as the Audit and Sustainability Committee, regarding the nature and scope of our work and presented our findings to them in early March. Our reports, which appear respectively on pages 309 and 236 of the 2025 URD, include our conclusions on the one hand, the annual financial statements drawn up in accordance with French accounting principles, on the other, consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union as required by applicable regulations. We have expressed an unqualified opinion both on the annual and consolidated financial statements of your company. With regard to the annual financial statements, in addition to our unqualified certification, we've made an observation I'd describe as technical to be found in almost all the reports on the financial statements of companies in France this year.
We've drawn your attention to the implementations of the first applications of a regulation of the Accounting [Foreign language] set out in note 1.1 of notes to annual financial statements entitled General Principles and Change of Method. In addition, our reports detail, in particular, the justifications of our assessments and the key audit matters in accordance with provisions of the French Commercial Code. For the annual financial statements, these are estimates and judgments used by the company to assess the holdings and fixed securities of the portfolio for other fixed securities and current account advances. With regard to the consolidated financial statements, the key audit matter highlighted in our report concerns the assessment of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, Gameloft. On these various key audit matters, both for the annual as well as consolidated financial statements. We reviewed the assumptions and underlying data used by the company.
We reviewed the calculations made and thus ensured ourselves of the reasonableness of these estimates. We also checked that they're correctly presented in the notes to the accounts. Furthermore, we carried out the specific checks provided by law. We have no comments to make regarding the sincerity and consistency between the annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements, and information contained in your management report. With regard now to approval of regulated agreements, subject of the third resolution, we issued a so-called special report that is to be found on page 337 of the registration document. The report sets out the characteristics and terms of these agreements, as well as reasons justifying the interest for the company of the contracts of which we've been notified or become informed of during the course of our work.
In 2025, we've been given notice of no agreement authorized and concluded during the past financial year to be submitted to the approval of this AGM. In addition, we have been given notice of an agreement previously approved by your AGM that continued relating to the shareholders' agreement of UMG entered into by your company as part of the distribution of 59.87% of its capital to Vivendi shareholders. Finally, we were informed of an agreement previously approved but without execution during the past financial year, namely the agreement concluded between your company and Compagnie de l'Odet in the context of the settlement negotiations with the companies Mediaset and Fininvest. To conclude on the various reports we've issued, your AGM is being held today in extraordinary form so that you can vote on several transactions on the capital of your company. As such, we've drawn up three reports.
The first report relating to the 17th resolution concerns a delegation of power to the Management Board to reduce the company's share capital by canceling purchased shares up to a 10% limit of its share capital for a period of 24 months. The second report relating to the 18th resolution concerns the delegation of authority to the Management Board to decide to increase the share capital for the benefit of employees and retirees, members of the group savings plan without maintaining preferential subscription rights, an operation reserved for employees and retirees, members of said savings plan. This delegation is given for a period of 26 months.
Corresponding issues may not exceed 3% of the company's share capital, and any amount will be deducted from the overall ceiling of EUR 225 million provided for in the 21st resolution adopted last year by the Combined Shareholders' Meeting held on 28th of April 2025.
The third of our reports pertains to the 19th resolution that will be put to you. It concerns delegation of authority to the management board to decide to increase the share capital without maintaining preferential subscription rights. This time for the benefit of employees of Vivendi's foreign subsidiaries or members of its international group savings plan. Said delegation is given for a period of 18 months. The corresponding issues may not exceed 3% of the company's share capital, and any amount will be deducted from the overall ceiling of EUR 225 million provided for in the 21st resolution adopted by last year's combined general meeting. We confirm that we have no particular observations to make on these operations, and as we indicated at the conclusion of our various reports signed on 20th March 2026 on behalf of the board of auditors. I thank you for your attention.
Thank you to our auditors and thank you to the board. I'm now pleased to invite Philippe Bénacin, Chairman of the Governance, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, to the stage.
Good morning, everyone. Mr. [Chairman], ladies and gentlemen, good morning. It is now over to me to explain the remuneration policy of members of the management and supervisory boards, as well as the proposed renewal and co-optation within Vivendi's supervisory board. As you know, Vivendi, for a number of years, has been conducting enhanced dialogue with certain proxy advisory firms and various shareholders on governance remuneration. As for Resolution 5, transparency of information in the corporate governance report has been enhanced, simplified for 2025. This given completion of spin-off of Vivendi's activities and businesses in 2024. With regard to Resolution 6, the 2025 remuneration of Chairman of the Supervisory Board amounted to EUR 600,000, which is unchanged since 2024.
In addition to this, there are EUR 60,000 in attendance fees, the amount which has remained unchanged since 2014. Finally, resolutions 7, 8, 9, 10 relating to the 2025 remuneration of the Chairman and members of the Management Board with individual vote for each of them. As announced last year, the Chairman and members of the Management Board have been subject to remuneration policy for 2025. The rate of the 2025 bonus is set at 84.2% of the fixed share of the remuneration package and is subject to your approval as it is every year. As a reminder, the policy provides for a bonus of 80%-100% of the fixed share. For 2026, the remuneration policy for board members remains unchanged. Nevertheless, the board is reduced from nine to six members, which will have an overall effect of limiting the total amount of remuneration.
With regard to the Chairman and members of the Management Board, the policy for 2026 remains unchanged compared to 2025. In determining the 2026 bonus, emphasis will be placed on continued reduction of structural costs of head office, in particular, in the context of the collective contractual termination agreement that was announced in March. As you can see on the slide, we have also maintained improvements over the past few years in the context of ongoing dialogue with advisory firms and Vivendi's shareholders, in particular with the allocation of 2025 performance shares, the evaluation criteria for which have been, since last year, completely different from those of the annual bonus. The proposal is to renew the term of office for Madame Maud Fontenoy as an independent member of the Supervisory Board.
Renewal would allow the Supervisory Board to continue to benefit from her expertise with regard to issues related to content diversity, environmental preservation, entrepreneurship, while also remaining majoritarily independent. In addition, there is a proposal to ratify co-optation of Mr. Bernard Osta as independent member of the Supervisory Board. This ratification would allow the Supervisory Board to benefit from his financial and strategic skills while also strengthening the board's level of independence. As for me, my term of office expires today. After 12 years of service, I would not be able to therefore retain my status as independent, nor would Cathia Lawson-Hall and Katie Stanton, whose terms also end today. Subject to your approval, the Supervisory Board will be composed therefore of six members, 50% of whom are women, 67% of whom are independent. Thank you for your trust over these years.
I would like to thank Yannick Bolloré and all members of the board as well. As announced back in March, Bernard Osta will take over as chair of the governance nomination remuneration committee. Laure Delahousse will chair the audit and sustainability committee. Bernard Osta will also step in for me as vice chairman of the supervisory board. Thank you all. I would like to thank the board. I would like to thank everyone at Vivendi who gave me so much over these past 12 years. During my time on the board, I learned so much. Now I'll be able to utilize everything that I've learned for another company that I'm sure you're all very familiar with.
Philippe, thank you so much for such strong commitment over the past 12 years. Thank you.
We are now going to move on to a Q&A session.
Before we do that, I'm going to ask Alexandre de Rochefort to introduce you all to Gameloft.
Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, shareholders. Today, I would like to highlight the work that has been carried out by all Gameloft employees and also Vivendi's teams since our last AGM in April 2025. Gameloft today is an international integrated video game company with solid financial results. It is a company with a diverse catalog of games and unique cross-platform know-how. It is a company that once again has proven its ability to reinvent itself, to come up with fantastic creation costs. We owe this to all of our employees who I'd like to thank today. We still have a long way ahead of us because our ambitions are quite great, but the quality and daily involvement of our teams reinforces our ability to reach these objectives. Gameloft, 2,900 people around the world in 10 production studios from Brisbane to Montreal, Lviv, Saigon, Yogyakarta, around the world.
These talented people bring our gaming services to life. They bring together several million players every day. Games ranging from "Disney Dreamlight Valley," "March of Empires," "Asphalt Legends." We also work with partners who are as diverse and prestigious as Disney, Hasbro, Universal, Lego. These teams are preparing the future of Gameloft by working on future games, future releases that will continue to make this company grow. With teams working around the world, we have financial results for 2025 that break all records, growing by 4.2% at constant exchange rates despite market tensions. Revenue from PC and consoles now represents 47% of Gameloft's overall total revenue, up 17% in 2025 compared to 2024. Gameloft in 2025 has a global audience. 47% of revenue comes from North America, 37% from Europe and Middle East and Africa, 13% from Asia Pacific, and 4% from South America.
EBITDA stood at EUR 15 million, up 88%, thanks to stable operating costs, and quite stable, certainly compared to 2024. Finally, Gameloft's operating cash flow reached record levels of EUR 31 million, up 44% after a 2024 year, which was already a record breaker. Solid results that are part of a positive drive forward that has already been felt for the past few years. Our EBITDA and operating cash flow has indeed increased steadily since 2023. Above all, these results are part of a long-term process. In-depth work that we have been putting in place with Vivendi, and I would like to take this opportunity to just say that this year marks the 10 years since we joined Vivendi. Ongoing work, it's not over yet, but thanks to all of this work, we will be able to aim for greater heights in the future.
Not all of this comes from just controlling our costs. It also comes from growing our top line. This comes from successful releases that are in the works, and I'm quite confident in these games because the games that we have in the pipeline are probably the best lineup in Gameloft's history. We are planning to release "Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis" next May. This is a collaboration with Paramount and the Lyon-based studio Old Skull Games. It is a family-friendly game, bringing families around tennis, popular cartoon characters, and it is the first collaboration as a game publisher rather than developer. We also have "Bluey's Happy Snaps" for 2026. "Bluey" is probably the most streamed TV series in the world. It is a phenomenal success, and teams out in Brisbane are doing their utmost to create an extremely high-quality game that lives up to the original content.
It's a collaboration with BBC, and the first time that Gameloft is venturing into this segment, games for young children on PC and console. Last of all, we announced the second half of 2027 with a "Dungeons & Dragons" game, which is the most popular role-playing game franchise in the world. Developed by our teams in Montreal, one of Gameloft's historic studios. It is probably the most promising game we have ever developed at Gameloft, both in terms of investment but also in terms of creative ambition. We have five other projects in development with studios, release dates running us right up until 2028. We can't, unfortunately, tell you more about them today, but they are going to give us a bright future. Allow me to share with you just two very short videos that show Gameloft's expertise and know-how, and thank you all for your attention.
Beautiful. Doing it. The time right.
Arnold-
Amazing.
Versus Monkey.
Cowabunga.
Angelica.
What? Woo-hoo. Classy.
finally
It's not. Love that. Best looking turtle.
Fashion is my thing.
Yeah. Hey.
Thank you very much, Alexandre, for that present, and happy anniversary, Vivendi. I remember Gameloft joining Vivendi 10 years ago as it was yesterday. 47% of revenue generated on PC and console, it was zero. Gameloft was only on mobiles. Wish the very best to the two games we've just seen. Dear shareholders, I now propose that we move to the question and answer section before the vote on resolutions. Frédéric, over to you with the written questions.
Thank you, Yannick. Indeed, we've received this year two sets of written questions from two shareholders, Mr. Hervé Laroque and Whitebox Advisors LLC. These questions relate to the evolution of Vivendi SE shares and securities resulting from the spinoffs, as well as the advisability of launching a share buyback program.
Answers to these questions have been provided during the context of this AGM, but you'll find all these written questions online on our website in the general meeting section, and the details of the answers adopted by the management board in accordance with legal and regulatory provision.
Thank you, Frédéric. We're now going to have questions from the hall. If we can have the house lights up, and as every year, let's start with the Vivendi Shareholders Committee present, who will answer the first question?
Good morning, Chairman. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to return to two points. The first concerns Prisma Media's luxury division, and the second is the Pershing Square non-binding offer regarding the Prisma Media luxury division. I wonder if it wouldn't have been perhaps better to acquire the full company, Prisma Media. Of course, I understand that in the interests of the luxury division. If I may continue?
Please do so.
As regards now the Pershing Square offer, I'd be very interested in hearing your views on the viability of the transaction, about which I have a few doubts. Thank you.
Well, thank you very much, sir, for your two questions. I'll perhaps start by answering the second question, and then Arnaud will come in and answer the first.
On the offer or proposal that UMG received from Pershing Square, let me remind you that Vivendi, following the demerger and the listing distribution of UMG, 9.91% of UMG. I believe it's up to UMG to answer first, or at least the UMG board to respond to what it thinks of this proposal. I don't quite know when the UMG board is scheduled, but I know that the Q1 results, the revenue will be presented on April 29, and their shareholders' meeting is to be held on May 13 in Amsterdam. I know it because it's on the same day as the Havas general meeting. We'll let UMG answer in the coming days and weeks regarding their opinion on this proposal. Arnaud, would you like to say a word or at least how Vivendi views the UMG results and its outlook?
Thank you, Yannick.
Universal Music Group, and we have a stake of some close on 10%. This is a company where we've set high hopes in the ability to maintain its growth trajectory. The results presented 1st of March, revenue at constant scope were organically up by some 7%, if memory serves. The paid streaming growth figures, the new business, and margin improvement prospects are such that it's a business that is set to have a higher valuation short and midterm. That's for UMG. Thank you. Possibly answer the first question on the luxury division of Prisma. Two brief answers to that. Firstly, as I indicated earlier, it's a sector where we see growth, and Vivendi's role, which is that of investor in growth activities, is such that the luxury division today, V Collection, is fully aligned with this ambition that we have for your company.
Why did we do a carve-out of the Prisma Media activity? Simply because there are activities and brands that have business models that are different from Atelier Loisirs or Femme Actuelle. It was under the same Prisma umbrella, but we concluded that in terms of the growth phase, there were two business models for advertising distribution, which were two separate different companies, consistent that this unit should join Vivendi so that we could write the next stage of its growth and development.
Thank you, Arnaud. Let me just add that Arnaud de Puyfontaine has unparalleled expertise on this new division that has joined Vivendi and presented that brilliantly at the Supervisory Board, and my colleagues would concur. Sir, you have a question.
Yes, Chairman. My question concerns the net asset value of Vivendi.
Since the demerger, Canal+, Réseau, shared group, and have you presented Vivendi as a portfolio company. These companies are generally assessed on the basis of their NAV, one of the relevant metrics of the sector. You published twice in 2025. On December 31st, 2024, the net asset value was EUR 5.06. On March 6th, EUR 4.69. Since then, you haven't published the net asset value. Well, might you say we take the asset, we divide the debt by the number of shares and find the net asset value? It's a bit more complicated. There are a number of items, such as other assets that are difficult to assess for the retail shareholder.
So instead of each of us taking our respective calculators, could you shed a light on the NAV per share of Vivendi, the net asset value, and currently and quarterly going forward? Thank you.
Well, thank you for your question.
Vivendi is, of course, a company that holds financial investments but isn't just a portfolio company. We presented Gameloft. We have great ambitions. Arnaud de Puyfontaine presented the
Luxury division, the collection, we have high ambitions, but the large part of our activities are financial investments. François, would you like to report on the non-publication of the NAV?
Thank you for your question, sir. The net asset value is not a standardized aggregate. There's no strict definition of that asset for several reasons regarding the assets we've taken into account and also the liabilities. Should we take into account pension liabilities or deduct or include capitalized holding costs? There are many discussions on the net asset value. That's why we stopped publishing. All the items that allow us to calculate the NAV, the details of all the liabilities given, and we let everyone do their calculations by incorporating pension liabilities or not, or a share of capitalized holding costs. We give all the information, and we leave everyone the opportunity of doing their calculation.
I fear, sir, that you're going to have to keep your calculator at hand. Thank you.
We're now going to take further questions. You, sir, please.
Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I have a question just about the documents that we received as our invitation. It speak of the past five years of finances, and they said pre-tax, we're looking at EUR 2.7 billion, and post-tax, we're looking at EUR 446 million. Where did this miracle come from? Are you going to get the same in 2026?
François, do you have the figures?
Okay, I'll just have a quick look at it, and then maybe I'll speak in a second. Page 28.
Well, maybe in the meantime, we'll get another question, and then we'll come back to you in a second. We have number 4, please.
Yes, Jean-Luc Hees, individual shareholder. I go back to Jean-Marie Messier. I've got a number of questions, actually. First, about the stock market performance since the share makeup was broken apart. Are you quite happy with the break apart and the split? Second, the engagement of board members. You have six out of nine board members who have only roughly 2,200 shares each, and Mr. Vincent Bolloré has 14x more than that. I'd just like to pay tribute to him today.
Now, this would not have flown at all in the eyes of Warren Buffett, one of my dear mentors, because here we have board members who are not at all engaged and committed to the company. Now, about individual shareholders. When we look at what's happening internationally, it feels like there is no love for us. You said that you want to be simple with us, but I can't see any proof of that. What about your individual shareholders?
Thank you very much for your questions. As to your second question about the supervisory board, all I can just say is that they are fully committed. If we're talking about the number of shares at EUR 2 each, maybe they could put some of their presence fees or attendance fees into shares. Sure, why not? I can just pay tribute here today to their quite steep involvement with the work. We had a meeting to prepare today's AGM. When the divestment was announced, I'm talking about the combined share value. Vivendi, Havas, Louis Hachette, Canal, all added together, we're looking at EUR 8.96 as of the 13th of December. Then one year later, it was EUR 8.3.
There was a bit of flowback, considerable, or a lot of historical Vivendi shareholders who no longer wanted to have shares in those companies that were divested. If we look at the combined share value, we're looking at EUR 8.4, slightly up. Just to give you a bit more contextual information, first and foremost, there was a drop in UMG because it was at EUR 2.24, then it was down a bit. Now you saw that had an impact on Vivendi's share price. UMG is a considerable part of Vivendi's overall value through our stake. Euro STOXX Media, if you look at that, it is an industry which is doing quite okay. Now, if you look at the key four entities and their share values, Vivendi included, you can't really say that the divestment or the split has added or taken away really much value.
If you look at our fundamentals, as we said, Vivendi, the Board and our teams have done a fantastic job. The Management Board has done a fantastic job with considerable divestments in telecoms, considerable restructuring, a strong deleveraging as well.
Really, 2025 was a pivotal year. As I said in my introductory comments, it was a pivotal year for us. Vivendi is now here to create value in the long term. Now, as for the other companies, part of that shift, now it's not up to Vivendi today to comment really on that. The three other companies are also registering some considerable performance. Havas, 2025 had a record-breaking year. Louis Hachette, good financials as well. I think also record-breaking for them, both for travel retail and Lagardère as well. Their share price has gone up considerably since. Now in 2025, I think there was a bit of a 10% increase, which could be reinvested. Again, that is doing very good in the advertising group. If you compare Havas with [CPR], for example, they are doing very well.
As for Canal+, their traditional scope of business is doing very well with the acquisition of MultiChoice that went through and was finalized. That was a major milestone for them. Now it was under Vivendi. Vivendi put in the initial investment for MultiChoice, and then Maxime Saada said that he was quite confident for the coming years, given MultiChoice and synergies that lie ahead. Again, the fundamentals are very solid. Now, as for the various stock markets, the only one that is abroad is Canal+, because for Havas and Louis Hachette, they're Euronext, be it for Euronext Growth or Amsterdam. It's very easy for French shareholders to access that because it's pretty much the same whether you're on Amsterdam or the other European stock markets, Paris. Canal+, however, the main issue there is going to be to finalize the MultiChoice acquisition and to consolidate that in a dualistic way.
Being present in London, Johannesburg, so Canal+ will communicate on that more effectively with their own shareholder meeting. Ultimately they chose London for a number of reasons. Now, my personal alignment is to be with Vivendi shareholders because I and myself, my family, are major shareholders in Vivendi, and my heart goes out to all shareholders here today and joining us online. Arnaud, do you have something you'd like to add?
Yes, I agree with you. I also have admiration for Warren Buffett. He's an investor who has always showed that you need to invest considerably in the long term. I would like to thank you for your long-term investment in Vivendi, because from what I understand, you have been with us ever since the end of the 1990s, back when we were first created in 1998.
If I just may, I would like to talk about 2024, when the new team joined us. From ever since the issue with the CAC 40, we have had some of the best performance over that timeframe. I think that our ability to create value remains the same. We have the fundamentals which have taken us to where we currently stand. Given what we have just heard from Yannick Bolloré as to the operational performance of our various entities, we have a management team that has full faith, and we are going to continue creating value for all shareholders.
Arnaud, thank you very much. François, were you able to find what you were looking for?
Yes, on page 28 for the post-tax pre-amortization and provisions. - EUR 26,141. Now remember, and then +EUR 0.41.
Now, what we need to remember is that we're talking about two divestments, considerable divestments, Telecom Italia and Poste Italiane, and GVA, which was sold to Canal+. There were two major provisions that were already put through end of 2024. When they were sold off, we were able to get back some of the provisions once having sold the stock. Ultimately, positive outcome with cession on divestment on one side and buyback on the other. Again, this is all before amortization and provisions. Again, quite positive, and this is reflected in the 446 in overall profits.
Thank you very much, François. We're now going to move on to our next question, number three.
Yes, good morning. Thank you for your presentation. I have to say that the longstanding shareholder that I am, 1998, remains underwhelmed and doesn't really clearly understand the corporate strategy that you haven't presented. It worries us about the EUR 0.15 that are generously offered today. What's your rollout strategy and expansion and growth for the company? As you recalled, a few years ago, the situation was very different. Secondly, you mentioned a plan, this collective plan. What prompted this plan?
This collective termination agreement. Would you like perhaps to, Arnaud, given
Our intention is to be an active shareholder in various situations, be it as minority/majority shareholder, in total control, create value for shareholders. We're still in a period of transition for the reasons previously outlined, so I won't return to those.
Vivendi is a company that will monetize its various holdings when the conditions are ripe for us to do so and reinvest in minority/majority control in businesses close to media, information, and entertainment to make sure the quality of the investments that we make and their performance in terms of this monetization and the ability to rotate our portfolio gives us the means to give a return to our shareholders, reduce our debt, and thirdly, have the ways and means to reinvest that are referred to. Once again, we're in a period of transition. Our strategy is clear, and now we need some time to implement it. We're convinced of the merits of that approach and the virtue of the model as we're preparing it.
Thank you, and perhaps the second question that we're tracking at the board, which is reduced corporate cost with the adaptability. Would you like to say a word about this plan across aspects?
We plan to cut costs, and so this strategy and vision that I've just shared with you must go hand-in-hand with an organization to write this new chapter in the story. Here, there are aspects linked to the organization. Many actors in the corporate segment to put in place and change in skills and know-how to support that change. Hence, this scheme, which let me remind you, is a voluntary contractual scheme. We began this scheme with discussions and a lot of interaction with the group's employees. Céline Merle-Béral, here present, and the HR teams at Vivendi are gradually implementing this agreement, which is a voluntary agreement to arrive at the conditions which calmly and confidently, which will support the development of your group.
Thank you, Arnaud. Isabelle Ecrin representing employees at the board.
This collective contractual termination agreement is never pleasant, but looking at Sandrine Le Bihan, I have to say that the conditions offer a fair and equitable, so everything is done smoothly. On the cost-cutting, perhaps two points just as a follow-up to that. Hence the choice of the Casino de Paris that's actually cheaper to host this AGM than the Olympia. Secondly, Arnaud de Puyfontaine and François Laroze came to offer to reduce the cost, to stop the gifts that we give to the shareholders. I fought long and hard, let me tell you, so that we could keep those gifts offered to you. That's a proof of love for our shareholders here present. Further questions. We have another question at the back of the hall. Yes, over there.
Yes, individual shareholder. I listened to you speak about the stake in UMG, and I think we are all wondering what the future holds, and maybe that will be more interesting when the Bolloré Group aside. Vivendi is now very much tied with Gameloft with 100% stake. Now, in the Bolloré universe, there is also another major game publisher name, Nacon, and they're currently going through bankruptcy proceedings. What's going to happen there? Are you going to stand by and do nothing? There's another question just about, is Vivendi or Gameloft going to completely buy out all of that for their game development, or are you going to buy out the logistics platform that they have? Now, for those people who aren't specialized in this, Nacon, they make video games. They have roughly half the turnover of Gameloft.
Thank you for that question about Gameloft. Just to answer that second part, we've already answered the first part of the question as we answered the first question. I think it's worth underlining the fact that Gameloft's performance has been fantastic from a financial point of view, also with good games. It comes at a time which is quite challenging for computer games and video games. Other operators like Nacon or other names that we're quite familiar with at Vivendi, I'm sure they can speak to that. Arnaud, is there something you'd like to say to answer the question?
Yes. Thank you very much for your question. It is quite clear that given Gameloft's solid performance, this goes against the grain of what we're seeing elsewhere in the gaming industry. That gives Vivendi's teams and Gameloft's teams
To grow fast through acquisition, it's a possibility. The current teams have been with Alexandre de Rochefort. They have been working on identifying business opportunities to ensure faster growth with solid fundamentals, as we presented to you today. You were talking specifically about a situation. It's a rather unique situation, because what you're talking about is both computer games, video games, studio work, publishing. You also have part of the business which is devoted to the actual manufacturing of objects. It is quite a diverse business segment that they are in. What I could say to answer your question is that we have a current agenda for Gameloft, and that is to shore up organic growth opportunities while successfully rolling out the operational issues.
There is a lot that teams are doing for 2026 through to 2028, with a number of games being released. Now, if there are external growth opportunities that arise, then the Gameloft teams will look at them with a keen eye, but while also maintaining financial sense.
Any other questions?
Yes. Good morning. I'm an individual shareholder. I have several questions. Thank you for hosting us here if the location is cheaper. What would be really great if we could have some Wi-Fi, because you're mentioning written answers that are available on the website. If we don't have Wi-Fi, that's a bit challenging. That's my first point. Second point, you mentioned cutting overheads. I appreciate that you're going to have a smaller, lower headcount. I'm a bit surprised by the compensation of the management team because Vivendi was divided by 4, but salaries haven't changed following the de-merger. When we look at the compensation obtained last year, the levels are extremely high, and the compensation I have specific page 160, 161, 162, that concern Monsieur de Puyfontaine, who's at the same time members of the boards of Canal+, Dailymotion, Gameloft, et cetera.
I'd like to know if there are director's fees for Mr. de Puyfontaine for those activities, and what does he do? Does he take them or not? Still for Mr. de Puyfontaine, I saw there's article 20 of the AFEP-MEDEF code that he doesn't comply with since February 26. He's in a listed company in Amsterdam, page 162, SWI Capital, and that the remuneration committee considered it wasn't a problem. Could we have more insights on that? On more important information on TIM, you said in the share capital in the parent company accounts that TIM, T-I-M, the sale of TIM brought in EUR 206 million, give or take. If I recall, TIM was not a very good deal. Could you tell us if we made money with TIM or if we lost money, and what was the order of magnitude? You talk about clarity of the group.
Since the split, we lack clarity. We're buying some press titles, V Collection. What will the revenue be? Is it posting a loss, or is it a break even? The de-merger was to clarify things, and that's why we created Hachette for the Lagardère stake. Last day, you moved down to 5% at Lagardère. Vivendi now has 13% of Lagardère. I have difficulty in seeing this clarity. Could you clearly tell us where the clarity lies when Vivendi today owns 13% of Lagardère? Sorry, it's a bit long. I think it interests everyone.
Well, thanks very much for your questions. To answer you, and then after that, Arnaud and François will come in. Lagardère was linked to the exercise of the disposal right that occurred just after the divestment or just before when things were well underway. Vivendi owed these sale rights, and major shareholders bought their shares. That's why it has a bigger stake, Lagardère. V Collection, well, it's just an activity that's profitable. That's just slightly profitable, but is set to grow significantly. On the remuneration, you'll note that remuneration has not been increased. We can't decrease fixed pay in France, but total remuneration declined in 2026 versus 2025. Remuneration that will be paid in 2026 in respect of 2025 will be lower because the bonus attainment rate is lower than what it was last year. Mr. de Puyfontaine.
Well, quite frankly, I'm not saying this because you're next to me when I say this. Vivendi's very fortunate to have Arnaud de Puyfontaine as CEO, as Chairman of the Management Board. He has unrivaled experience, various media, very international. We look at the benchmark of international leaders and that company. Arnaud is in the lower part of the bracket. I don't think you receive director's fees for activities linked to Vivendi or Gameloft. For the split company, the directors also receive directors' fees. On the overboarding aspect of things, thanks for mentioning Arnaud de Puyfontaine. I'm also in the case, a board member of the other split companies. We considered back then that it was better for reasons of continuity, know-how, expertise in these businesses for Arnaud and I to continue to be directors as long as we continued to do the job properly.
It allows all stakeholders, particularly shareholders, to have a board that provides the greatest amount of expertise and experience in those companies. The supervisory board will cost less because there'll be six instead of nine members previously, or even 12 or 13, a few months. On TIM, perhaps, François? Well, just before François answers your question, to explain that what we'd done on Telecom Italia was done in parallel to what we did on Universal Music Group. In any company, you take a number of wagers, gambles, some investments, some work, some don't work so well. Let me remind you, as you're a loyal investor and shareholder, and thank you, look at the value creation of UMG. That was massive because it was above EUR 35 billion value created between arrival and exit. Telecom Italia, different story. We tried industrially to carry forward the project.
Many reasons linked to the IT environment and the environment in which we operate. We didn't reach the targets, but I'd like the assessment to be done in comparing like with like to have an objective view of the situation. Over to François.
Yes. The sale of Telecom Italia in 2025 has upside on the earnings we provisioned in the past. These shares, following the decline in the share price. Overall, it represents a significant loss for Vivendi because we bought at almost EUR 4 billion the stake, and it was sold at around EUR 1.2 billion. A large part was linked to an exchange of stock with a Brazilian telco in exchange.
One last question, perhaps over there. Yes. Question four.
Yep. Individual shareholder. I have a question about Universal Music. There was an offer that was put through by Bill Ackman for a buyout. It wasn't very interesting from a financial point of view, especially when we look at the share price. With the departure of the Bolloré family from the board, what are your ambitions for. Do you think it's an interesting offer? If you are going to sell, are you going to go forward with a share buyback?
Well, I did answer that in part a little earlier. Universal Music Group or certainly the board, who are going to have to meet, they're going to have to talk first and foremost about the offer that they're putting forward. Vivendi and UMG, we are quite familiar with each other.
We worked quite closely together for about 20 years. Then with the drastic drop of the music industry, with music pirating, and then the rise again with streaming. With Arnaud de Puyfontaine, we believe in the financial future of UMG. Once again, I would just like to allow Universal Music Group an opportunity to speak. Now, I don't know if mid-May, when they have their own meeting, whether they will talk about that in greater detail, but I will leave it up to them. Thank you very much. That brings us now to the crucial moment of our shareholder meeting, voting resolutions. Frédéric, over to you, and maybe if you would like to quickly go over the final quorum.
