Interest rate risk<br />
Vivendi’s interest rate risk management seeks to reduce its net exposure to interest rate increases. Therefore, Vivendi uses pay-floating and<br />
pay-fixed interest rate swaps. These instruments thus enable the group to manage and reduce volatility for future cash flows related to<br />
interest payments on borrowings. Considering the fixed/floating rate hedging instruments implemented, an unfavorable change of 1% in the<br />
interest rates would have a cumulative impact of -€10 million on net earnings.<br />
As a reminder, in December 2014, concomitantly with the redemption of the bonds having make-whole options, Vivendi made an early<br />
settlement of pay-floating interest rate swaps having a notional amount of €750 million and €400 million. As of December 31, 2015, the<br />
portfolio of Vivendi’s interest rate hedging instruments included the following swaps (unchanged as of December 31, 2014):<br />
