Vivendi is saying goodbye to the NYSE

Vivendi Universal, despite the behemoth cash-flow monster known formally as
World of Warcraft, is always looking for ways to "optimize its financial costs." It is with this reasoning, and knowing that less than 5% of its shares were traded during 2004 and 2005, that Vivendi is looking to delist itself from the New York Stock Exchange.

The move is not indicative a sign of trouble – VU Games will no doubt continue to make console and PC games, no worries. The move requires a majority approval from shareholders, and if obtained, Vivendi could finalize the delisting by the second quarter of 2006.
