유니버설 뮤직 그룹(UMG)은 빌 애크만의 퍼싱 스퀘어와 UMG에 대한 최근 소셜 미디어 게시물에 답했습니다. 회사는 UMG도 그 이사들도 해당 게시물에서 표현된 의견을 작성하는 데 관여하지 않았다고 밝혔습니다. UMG의 상장 투자설명서에 따르면, 퍼싱은 미국 상장 요청 권리가 있습니다 단, 퍼싱 법인이 상장 과정에서 UMG 주식을 최소 5억 달러 판매할 경우에만 가능합니다. 그러나 퍼싱은 UMG가 미국에 법인화되거나 유로넥스트 암스테르담에서 상장 폐지되도록 요구할 수 없습니다. 계약상의 의무를 넘어서는 모든 결정은 모든 주주를 위한 가치를 극대화하는 데 기반을 두게 됩니다.
