NEW YORK The Bolloré Group last week requested that agency holding company Aegis Group convene an emergency shareholders meeting, according to sources.

The Paris-based company, helmed by Havas chairman Vincent Bolloré, already owns 29 percent of Aegis’ shares. Bolloré has been trying to gain seats on Aegis’ board, and the meeting request had been expected.

As yet, London-based Aegis has not received the required formal notification that would require it to schedule such a meeting—but that notification is expected soon, sources said.
