A letter from Pershing Square outlined half a dozen reasons why Universal is undervalued--including uncertainty around Bollore's stake in the company, the postponement of its U.S. listing, and absence of a capital allocation plan--the analysts say.The letter also indicates shareholders can receive 100% consideration in stock for the new company, or 100% cash consideration of 22 euros per share. Shares in Universal Music Group are up 10% at 18.89 euros. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
