NEW YORK For the third time in less than a year, Aegis Group shareholders have rejected a proposal by French investor Vincent Bolloré to gain a pair of seats on the company’s board.

Aegis shareholders had already voted down the same proposal in June and November 2006.

The third vote on the matter was held today at Aegis’ headquarters in London.

The results of all three votes were practically identical: each time, more than 90 percent of the shares not controlled by Bolloré were pledged against the resolution to place a pair of his associates on the board.
