Gross investments in content represent the films, television and sports
rights paid by Canal+ Group, advances paid by UMG to artists, as well as
the investments in content realized by Vivendi Village’s entity Watchever
which is developing in the online video segment.
Given Vivendi’s shift in focus to media and content, a decision was
made to stop disclosing industrial investments in this Handbook, as this
indicator is no longer relevant after the disposal of the telecommunication
subsidiaries (Maroc Telecom group, SFR and GVT). To keep track of
Vivendi’s industrial investments, please refer to the Annual Report 2014
(Chapter 1 Section 1.6, Section 3 of the Financial Report and Notes 2
and 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

This indicator does not apply to UMG. As of December 31, 2014, are
measured in this indicator Canal+ Group’s pay-TV subscribers around the
world (France, Overseas, Africa, Vietnam and Poland).
The impact of UMG is reflected by the global market share held by
the group. With a diverse range of labels in the major music markets
and direct representation in approximately 60 countries across the
globe, UMG has a global market share of more than 30% and holds
market-leading positions in most of the world’s major music markets,
including the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
