("Seagram") entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"). In connection with the Merger Agreement, Vivendi and Seagram entered into an Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which Seagram granted to Vivendi an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase up to 86,862,212 shares of common stock, no par value, of Seagram ("Seagram Common Stock), subject to adjustment, representing approximately 19.9% of the Seagram Common Stock issued and outstanding on June 19, 2000, at a purchase price per share equal to $77.35, subject to adjustment. The Option may be exercised by Vivendi at any time after Vivendi becomes entitled to receive, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Seagram Fee (as defined in Section 6.3(1) of the Merger Agreement). The Option will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the effective time of the Merger, (ii) the date on which the Option is exercised in full and (iii) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement (unless Vivendi has the potential right to receive the Seagram Fee, in which case the Option will not terminate until the later of (x) 30 business days following the date the Seagram Fee becomes payable and (y) the expiration of the period in which Vivendi has the potential right to receive the Seagram Fee).
