0816 GMT - Bollore's appeal of the French market regulator's demand for a public buyout offer for Vivendi shares within six months could dampen investors' hopes, AlphaValue analyst Alexandre Desprez writes. Vivendi shareholders might have expected the French conglomerate to comply with the market watchdog's decision so as to avoid a prolonged process, he says in a note. This development is slightly negative for Vivendi, the analyst adds. Bollore's move clearly signals its reluctance to take full control of Vivendi, he adds. Vivendi and Bollore shares are up 0.1% and 0.4%, respectively. ( najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
