MILAN (Reuters) - The trust which holds most of French media giant Vivendi's stake VIV.PA in Mediaset MS.MI said it reserved the right to take action if the Italian broadcaster opted to prevent it from voting at a key shareholder meeting this week.
Mediaset shareholders will meet on Wednesday on a plan to merge Mediaset and its Spanish subsidiary TL5.MC into a Dutch holding as a part of a pan-European growth strategy.
A board of the Italian broadcaster is expected to take place before the shareholder meeting and to bar the trust from exercising its voting rights.
