Wyser-Pratte Gets Full Support of ISS/RiskMetrics in His Bid To Improve Governance and Corporate Stewardship at Lagardere

NEW YORK, April 12, 2010 - Franco-American Financier and Activist Guy Wyser-Pratte noted today that
ISS Proxy Advisory Services/RiskMetrics Group, among the world's premier
proxy advisory services, had issued its report on the April 27, 2010 AGM/EGM
of Lagardere SCA (MMB.PA) recommending full support of his two resolutions.
RiskMetrics recommends shareholders vote FOR the election of Mr. Wyser-Pratte
to the Supervisory Board of Lagardere and vote FOR his proposal to modify the
limited partnership with shares structure.

In its analysis RiskMetrics states: "….we believe that a review of
strategic alternatives is warranted at Lagardere, and Wyser-Pratte could add
a shareholder focus on that task." They further state: "We agree with his
criticism of the limited partnership structure and believe that
Wyser-Pratte's election would send the message that limited partners want a
different structure." In conclusion, they note: "….that the presence of the
dissident [Wyser-Pratte] on the MMB board would likely prove beneficial to
long-term shareholder value."

Mr. Wyser-Pratte stated, "I am gratified by receiving the support of
RiskMetrics, a highly respected, independent voice and recognized leader in
promulgating good corporate governance standards. I urge all shareholders to
voice their displeasure with a management and board that are unresponsive to
shareholders and stewards of dismal stock performance by voting for my
election to the supervisory board and the modification of the limited
partnership with shares structure."

In response to the Company's call to reject the Wyser-Pratte resolutions,
Mr. Wyser-Pratte said, "No one should be surprised by Arnaud Lagardere's call
to reject my resolutions so he may continue his entrenchment and
mismanagement of our Company. Nor should anyone be fooled by the smoke screen
created by the Company's statement of needing to affirm my ownership of
shares. I have provided this information previously, this matter is not in
question, it reeks of a further attempt to manipulate the corporate
machinery."

Shareholders are urged to vote FOR Company resolutions 1-10, 12 and 14,
and FOR Wyser-Pratte resolutions A and B. Shareholders are urged to vote
AGAINST Company resolutions 11 & 13. In doing so you will vote in favor of
Mr. Wyser-Pratte's two-resolutions and all of the Company's, with the
exception of the election to the Supervisory Board of Raymond H. Levy and
Jean-Claude Magendie.
