Paris - Media conglomerate Vivendi Universal has announced plans to voluntarily delist itself from the New York Stock Exchange, a cost-saving move that would see its shares thereafter trade only in Paris. The company, whose holdings include Universal Music Group and Vivendi Universal Games, explained that less than 5% of its share trading over the past two years took place through the NYSE, while U.S. ownership of Paris-based shares has increased significantly.
