Talking points for Jean-Marie Messier, Chairman and CEO of Vivendi.
Blockbuster has had several meetings with Universal to obtain rights to content for the video on demand (VOD) offering. Blockbuster has proposed an agreement to license product for both VHS/DVD rentals and the video on demand offering. The negotiations have stalled because Universal has not been willing to sign any long-term agreements without Vivendi's support. Blockbuster has refused to renew their agreement with Universal for VHS/DVD rentals until Universal agrees to grant digital VOD rights. This will be detrimental to both parties. We would like for Vivendi to communicate to Universal that they would support a VOD agreement between Universal and Blockbuster for digital content rights. A conversation with Mr. Messier on this topic would be appreciated. Contact Information: Jean-Marie Messier Phone: 011-331-717-11717 Fax: 011-331-717-11432 Please let me know if you have any questions, or need any additional information. Also, any feedback you receive from Mr. Messier would be very helpful. I can be reached at extension 35741 or on my cellular phone 713-410-7279. Thanks for your attention to this matter. Regards, Ellen Fowler
