| v2 current | 2026-09-24 21:38 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5-5) | Settled owner_unknown: the Vivendi owned_by row was wrongly closed at 2002-12-20. Natexis/Investima 10 bought the assets of Vivendi Universal Publishing, not the company; the legal entity (SIREN 324992635, formerly Havas Media Communication, renamed Havas in 1998, VUP in 2000, Vivendi Publishing in 2006) is described by BALO notices of 2005-2007 as a 99% Vivendi subsidiary and has been in voluntary liquidation since 18 Dec 2006. Reopened owned_by company/vivendi (sourced, ^balo); Vivendi page already walks up to Bolloré, so no parent_org added (the latest ownership notice is 2007, before the Bolloré control dates). Identity: legal_name Vivendi Publishing, registered_address, FR-SIREN and VAT, founded 1982-07-01 (the register date of this legal entity). Aliases: added Vivendi Universal Publishing (legal), Vivendi Publishing, Havas Media Communication, VUP; dated Havas S.A. Rewrote About to match, keeping Wikipedia/press release disagreement over whether the company or its assets were sold. Added References: balo, pappers, societe, sirene-old, natexis, vu-20f-2002. Gaps: no source after 2007 names the shareholder (RBE restricted), and no Wikidata item for this legal entity was established. | |
