NEW YORK Vincent Bolloré next month gets a third chance to place two of his associates on Aegis Group’s board of directors.

Aegis confirmed today that it would hold an extraordinary general meeting on April 4, at the request of Bolloré, who owns a 29 percent stake in Aegis, in addition to being chairman of rival agency group Havas.

Bolloré will once more propose nominating Phillippe Germond and Roger Hatchuel to Aegis’ board.

Shareholders defeated identical proposals in June and November of last year.
