Vivendi announced the pricing and results of its offer to purchase (the “Tender Offer”) for cash any and all of the $700 million 5.75% Notes due 2013 (CUSIP: 92852EAK1 (144A)/F7063CAU0 (Reg S); ISIN: US92852EAK10 (144A)/USF7063CAU02 (Reg S)) (the “Notes”). As of the Tender Offer expiration at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 11, 2012, Vivendi received tender instructions totaling $529,548,000 principal amount of Notes.

The Tender Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions, including the financing condition which relates to the closing of the issuance of US$2 billion principal of Notes priced on April 3, 2012, set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April 3, 2012 (the “Offer to Purchase”). If the conditions to the Tender Offer are satisfied or waived, Vivendi will accept for purchase all such Notes.

The Reference Yield for the 0.75% U.S Treasury Note due March 31, 2013, as determined at 10:00 a.m. New York City time on April 11, 2012, is 0.216% and the Total Consideration is $1,048.82 per $1,000 in principal amount. Vivendi will also pay accrued interest of $1.44 per $1,000 in principal amount.

Settlement is expected to occur on April 13, 2012.

After the success of the US$2 billion Notes issue in three tranches which will close today, Vivendi will also have succeeded in repurchasing 76% of a US$700 million line maturing next year. The two transactions combined will result in extending its debt’s maturity and in reducing its cost.
