Bill Ackman's Pershing Square has proposed a cash-and-shares offer to acquire Universal Music Group (UMG), aiming to move its primary listing from Amsterdam to New York. The deal would give UMG shareholders €9.4 billion in cash plus 0.77 shares in the new combined entity for each UMG share. Pershing Square believes UMG's stock price has been undervalued due to issues unrelated to its strong music business performance, including shareholder communication and the influence of a major 18% stake held by a French billionaire's vehicle. The non-binding offer is expected to complete by the end of the year if approved.
