Bouygues warns of suit in shareholder dispute

Article Abstract:

Bouygues SA announced that the company reserves the right to seek compensation for damages caused by accusations of company investor Vincent Bollore against the company. Bollore claimed there may have been voting irregularities on Jun. 10, 1998, when the France-based construction and communications conglomerate held its shareholder meeting. Bouygues' announcement comes following an announcement of a French court that it has decided to appoint two chartered accountants who will probe whether votes belonging primarily to foreign pension funds were excluded for arriving following a deadline for the vote on a significant resolution.
