Market Chatter: Pershing Square Looks to Sell Stake in Universal Music Group

MT Newswires Live01:08

Pershing Square (PS) will sell about 80.6 million shares in an overnight placing, as Bill Ackman's hedge fund looks to exit its position in Universal Music Group, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing a statement.

The sale comes days after Universal Music rejected Pershing's takeover bid, the report said. Bank of America (BAC) is marketing the shares at a range of 17.66 euros ($20.48) to 18.62 euros each, the report said, citing the terms that it viewed.

Pershing Square and Universal Music didn't immediately reply to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
