                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         On July 22, 2002, Vivendi Environnement (the "Company") issued a
French-language press release (the "Release") in respect of (a) the results of
its capital increase effected through the issuance of transferable preferential
subscription rights to its shareholders on July 4, 2002 (the "Capital Increase")
and (b) its intention to call a meeting of holders of its outstanding
convertible bonds (obligations a option de conversion et/ou d'echange en actions
nouvelles ou existantes or OCEANE) issued on April 26, 1999 (the "Convertible
Bonds") to vote upon certain amendments to the terms of the Convertible Bonds.
The main terms of the Capital Increase are set forth in two press releases
issued by the Company in accordance with Rule 135(c) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, on June 24 and 25, 2002, respectively, and in the Report on
Form 6-K filed by the Company on June 27, 2002.

         This Report on Form 6-K contains an English translation of the material
information in the Release and a copy of the Company's press releases dated June
24 and 25, 2002, respectively.


                         ENGLISH SUMMARY OF THE RELEASE

         The second phase of the restructuring of the Company's shareholder
base, which was announced on June 24, 2002, has been completed. The delivery of
the new shares issued pursuant to the Capital Increase will occur on August 2,
2002. The Company will issue a press release promptly thereafter to inform the
public of the composition of the Company's new shareholder base.

         To reflect the Company's new shareholder base and its financial
autonomy from Vivendi Universal, the Company intends to call a meeting of the
holders of its outstanding Convertible Bonds, at which the Company will propose
that, in exchange for an increase in the interest rate and/or redemption premium
of the Convertible Bonds, such holders (a) release the guarantee granted by
Vivendi Universal in respect of the obligations of the Company under the
Convertible Bonds and (b) irrevocably waive the right to accelerate the
Company's payment obligations under the Convertible Bonds in the event of a
default by Vivendi Universal under the terms of its debt instruments.

                                                            Paris, June 24, 2002


                                  PRESS RELEASE


            Restructuring of Vivendi Environnement's shareholder base


       Vivendi Environnement and Vivendi Universal announce today the details of
       a planned restructuring of Vivendi Environnement's share capital. The
       restructuring comprises two successive transactions:

       1. A secondary offering of up to 53.8 million shares of Vivendi
          Environnement (or approximately 15.5% of Vivendi Environnement's share
          capital before the capital increase described below) by Deutsche Bank,
          as selling shareholder, in a private placement to institutional
          investors in France and elsewhere, including "qualified institutional
          buyers" in the United States. Through this offering, Deutsche Bank
          will have sold the shares held in the context of a financing granted
          to Vivendi Universal on June 12, 2002 through a pension livree, a
          French repurchase arrangement.

          The offering will be made through an accelerated bookbuilding process
          to institutional investors. The offering price will be set on the date
          of closing of the order book, which is expected to occur on June 25,
          2002 (or earlier).

       2. A reinforcement of Vivendi Environnement's shareholders' equity
          through a capital increase of a maximum amount of approximately
          (euro)1.5 billion by the issuance of preferential subscription rights
          to its shareholders. A group of financial investors has committed to
          purchase and exercise Vivendi Universal's preferential subscription
          rights and to subscribe for all shares underlying any preferential
          subscription rights that are not exercised. The subscription price in
          the capital increase will be equal to the secondary offering price
          less (euro)1.

          The capital increase will not be launched until the secondary offering
          of Vivendi Environnement's shares is completed.
