EMI Is On the Brink of Death

The number of majorrecord labelsseems gear up to drop to a bare three , as EMI has failed to make a deal for North American statistical distribution right with either Universal or Sony . Updated

As Iwrote about extensively here , EMI is doing very , very gravely , and things have just been getting worse for them . They had hoped to get themselves out of immediate danger of being break up or sold by make a five - year hatful with either Sony or Universal worth about $ 304 million . They could n’t pull out it off .

So where does that give them ? Well they postulate to raise about $ 180 million by June or their loanword from Citigroup goes into default , at which percentage point the depository financial institution could seize EMI and either break it up or sell it .

The consolidation of the major labels to a simple three ( Sony , Warner and Universal ) would be the wet themusic industryhas ever been . But those stay three , while struggling to be sure , have not been in the horrific situation EMI has been in . And with them probably snapping up EMI ’s valuable asset ( without the vile 1 ) for careen - bottom prices , they could get a routine of a life history total this summertime .

But the way things are manoeuvre for the industriousness , without some major changes they ’re all headed in the same direction as EMI . The question is whether or not they ’ll be able to figure out how to change form before it ’s too of late .

Update : A generator familiar with the discussions told me that Universal initially set about EMI for a lot . Sony then hear about it and got in on the discourse as well as they turned serious over the weekend .

In the itty-bitty hr of the break of day yesterday , EMI walked out from the deal UMG was proposing as it did not offer enough value to stakeholders or its creative person . The deal ’s off and EMI is finalizing a plan for its possessor , Terra Firma , and in routine , Terra Firma is blab to its investors about additional financial support for an “ equity cure ” or immediate payment to ensure Terra Firma can meet its debt obligations for EMI .

If EMI had been that desperate for cash , they would have taken the UMG deal — about $ 310 million — and trust the money before the end of its fiscal and you would have seen a plenty denote . But EMI is doing great in an otherwise down mart and they did n’t take that UMG deal .
