Vivendi clarifies the tax regime for Canal+ shares in PEA

Vivendi issued a press release on February 11, 2025 to clarify the tax regime applicable to Canal+ shares held in a Share Savings Plan (PEA). Concerns had emerged among shareholders following the divergences in communication from financial institutions. Vivendi obtained confirmation of its analysis from the General Directorate of Public Finances, ensuring that the listing of Canal+ in London does not affect the tax benefits linked to the PEA.

Shareholders are encouraged to consult their account manager and tax advisor to ensure correct application of the tax regime. It is crucial to avoid the registration of CDI (CREST Depositary Interest) on the PEA account, which could lead to its premature closure.
