The
company said it had also received a 12 percent stake in
Telefonica Brazil's Vivo and would exchange 4.5 percent for 8.3
percent of Telecom Italia's ordinary shares in the coming weeks.
"The closing of the sale of GVT and of the 20 percent interest
in Numericable-SFR enables the Vivendi management board, in
accordance with its commitment, to authorize in principle the
payment of two interim ordinary dividends, each in the amount of
1 euro per share, in respect of 2015," Vivendi said in a
statement.
Vivendi sold its 20 percent stake in Numericable-SFR to
billionaire Patrick Drahi earlier this year, via his holding
company Altice and Numericable-SFR itself.
