By Gwénaëlle Barzic and Dominique Vidalon PARIS (Reuters) - French media group Vivendi has entered exclusive talks to buy 80 percent of video-sharing website Dailymotion from telecom operator Orange for 217 million euros ($236 million), the companies said on Tuesday. The offer won the backing of a "large majority" of Orange's board, ahead of a rival bid from German broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1, Orange chief Stephane Richard told a parliamentary economic affairs committee. Richard said Orange would keep the remaining 20 percent of Dailymotion and a right of veto on key issues such as jobs as part of the deal, which corresponds to an enterprise value for Dailymotion of 265 million euros. "Orange and Vivendi will now enter into a period of exclusive negotiations in order to finalize the terms of this operation," the companies said in a statement.
