Bill Ackman's Pershing Square proposed a $64.4 billion cash and stock deal to acquire Universal Music Group, offering a nearly 80% premium on its recent share price. The deal would merge UMG with Pershing and list the new company on the NYSE, addressing issues unrelated to UMG's music business performance.
