No appeal filed against the French financial markets authority's decision

company
Lagardère SCA (the "Company") received confirmation from the registry of the
Paris Court of Appel that no appeal was filed against the decision of the

does not require the launching of a tender offer(1).

General Meetings will be held on 30 June 2021, it being specified that the
General Partners and the main shareholders, Vivendi, Qatar Holding LLC, Amber
Capital and Financière Agache (which together with Arnaud Lagardère hold 75%
of the Company's voting rights), agreed to support the proposed conversion.
