1.b. Last Insights on BOL

Bolloré SE's recent performance was marred by a series of negative developments. The company's Vivendi stake, a significant asset, is now subject to a mandatory buyout offer following a French regulator's ruling. This development may lead to a dilution of Bolloré's control and potentially disrupt its business operations. Furthermore, the company's investment portfolio has been impacted by Yacktman Fund's strategic adjustments, which resulted in a significant reduction in its stake in Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
