Générale des Eaux
19??–1998
Vivendi (first era)
1998–2000
Vivendi was created in 1998 from what used to be the Compagnie générale des eaux, an industrial conglomerate, which was transformed into a media company.
Vivendi Universal
2000–2006
In 2000, Vivendi purchased Seagram, which included Universal Studios and Universal Music Group. The company's name was then changed to Vivendi Universal.
Vivendi (second era)
2006–present
On October 8, 2003, Vivendi Universal agreed to merge its Vivendi Universal Entertainment subsidiary (excluding Universal Music) with General Electric's NBC, to form NBC Universal with the deal being closed on May 12, 2004. Until January 2011, Vivendi owned 20 percent of NBC Universal. In 2006, to reflect Vivendi Universal's reduced interest in Universal, the name was reverted back to simply Vivendi.
