NEW YORK, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ –

The following statement is being issued by Greenberg Traurig, LLP regarding
the Securities and Exchange Commission v. Vivendi Universal, S.A.

A settlement has been reached in an enforcement action brought by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission against Vivendi Universal,
S.A. ("Vivendi") and others. If you purchased Vivendi Ordinary Shares, American
Depository Receipts or American Depository Shares (the "Securities") during the
period from December 1, 2000 through July 2, 2002, you may qualify to receive
payment from the Settlement fund of approximately $51,000,000. You will be
required to submit a proof of claim to qualify for payment.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has
authorized this notice.

Who is included?
You are a Potentially Eligible Claimant and could get benefits if you
purchased Vivendi Securities during the period from December 1, 2000 through
July 2, 2002. You are a Potentially Eligible Claimant only if you bought shares
of Vivendi stock individually, not simply through a mutual fund. Certain of
Vivendi’s officers, directors and employees as well as their immediate family
members are not eligible to receive payment.

Contact your broker to see if you purchased Vivendi Securities during the
required time period. If you are not sure you are included, you can get more
information, including a detailed notice, at

What is this about?
The SEC enforcement action claimed that Vivendi, its former Chief Executive
Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer engaged in conduct that violated
various securities laws.

What does the Settlement provide?
Under the terms of the Settlement, a fund of approximately $51,000,000 has
been established from which payments will be made to eligible claimants who
submit a valid proof of claim.

Your recovery from the fund, if any, will depend on the number of valid
claim forms that eligible claimants send in, how many shares of Vivendi
Securities you bought, and when you bought and sold them. All of the
$51,000,000 plus accrued interest, less professional fees and taxes, will be
paid out.
