As anticipated, French corporate raider and Havas Chairman Vincent Bollore has requested that the Aegis Group convene an emergency shareholder meeting, sources say.

Bollore, who owns 29 percent of Aegis shares, has been trying to gain a foothold on the Aegis board, but the shareholders denied his nominations for two board seats in June. Now, he has asked for a meeting, AdWeek reports (via MediaBuyerPlanner). Though Aegis has not received the required formal notification that would require it to schedule such a meeting, that notification is reportedly expected soon.
