CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Financial Report contains forward-looking statements with respect
to Vivendi’s financial condition, results of operations, business, strategy,
plans, and outlook of Vivendi, including projections regarding the payment
of dividends as well as the impact of certain transactions. Although
Vivendi believes that such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties, many of
which are outside Vivendi’s control, including, but not limited to, the
risks related to antitrust and other regulatory approvals in connection
with certain transactions as well as the risks described in the documents
of the group filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) (the
French securities regulator), which are available in English on Vivendi’s
website (www.vivendi.com). Accordingly, readers of this Financial Report
are cautioned against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this
Financial Report. Vivendi disclaims any intention or obligation to provide,
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.

Vivendi does not sponsor an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) facility
