Universal Music Group Files Confidentially for US Listing
By Anthony Hughes, Bloomberg
Universal Music Group NV has filed confidentially for a US listing, which would fulfill the terms of a deal with billionaire Bill Ackman’s hedge fund Pershing Square.
The Amsterdam-listed firm submitted documents to the US Securities & Exchange Commission relating to a proposed offering by certain of its shareholders, according to a statement Monday. The world’s largest music company won’t receive any proceeds from the sale.
Universal Music’s shares rose 0.9% to €27.31 apiece at 9:51 a.m. in European trading on Tuesday, leading gains in Amsterdam’s AEX Index.
The filing comes after Universal said in January it would plan the US listing in order to satisfy an agreement with Pershing Square, a statement at the time showed. Ackman resigned from Universal’s board in May, citing increasing demands on his time from commitments including his appointment as Executive Chairman of Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.
