Havas planning to stand alone rather than being integrated within the Vivendi group
Listed French advertising group Havas is planning to remain an independent group, French daily Le Figaro reported, citing Chairman Yannick Bollore. Asked if Havas, which is now 82% controlled by the Bollore group, also a major shareholder in listed media conglomerate Vivendi, would be integrated within Vivendi, he replied that Havas was conducting a stand-alone strategy.
Havas reported revenues of EUR 1.87bn for the full-year 2014.
