Vivendi SE is a French mass-media holding company headquartered in Paris. It owns Gameloft as well as a number of investments in several companies. In 2000, Vivendi Universal was created from the merger with Groupe Canal+ and Seagram Company Ltd. In 2006, it sold off most of the Universal components and its name reverted to Vivendi. As of 2021, Vivendi's chairman Yannick Bolloré is also CEO of Havas, which was spun off from Vivendi in 2000 but has since become a subsidiary. The company is known for its stake in Universal Music Group, which it partially spun off from 2021. In 2024, Vivendi spun-off its non-investment businesses into three companies: Canal+, Havas NV and Louis Hachette Group. Wikipedia
