Bill Ackman säljer resterande aktier i UMG efter misslyckat bud

Bill Ackmans Pershing Square Holdings säljer sitt återstående innehav i Universal Music Group efter att deras förvärvsbud avslogs förra veckan.

Pershing Square avyttrar samtliga 80,6 miljoner aktier, motsvarande ett innehav på 4,7 procent, till ett marknadsfört pris på 17,66 till 18,62 euro per aktie. Försäljningen kan inbringa upp till 1,5 miljarder euro. Draget följer styrelsens beslut i UMG att neka ett icke-bindande bud värt mer än 55,55 miljarder euro. Styrelsen uppgav att budet fundamentalt undervärderar bolaget. Cyrille Bolloré, vars Bolloré Group är UMG:s största aktieägare, hade uppmanat till att avvisa affären. UMG-aktien föll något i efterhandeln den 3 juni.
