TaylorSwift 162,854 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Universal Music Group banked gross proceeds of $467 million from selling part of its Spotify shareholding during the first half of 2026. UMG artists could be in line for approximately $131 million of that money. The sale figure was disclosed by UMG CFO Matt Ellis on the company’s Q2 and H1 2026 earnings call. “During the first half of 2026, we sold just under one-third of our planned 50% stake sale for gross proceeds of EUR €403 million. [$467 million]” UMG has committed to sharing the proceeds of any Spotify stock sale with its artists. In April, Ellis said payouts to artists from any SPOT share transaction would be “consistent with our royalty policies.” MBW has previously estimated a likely artist share of around 28% of gross proceeds, drawing on numbers contained in Bill Ackman‘s takeover proposal for the company. Any such payout would be made on a non-recoupable basis, meaning UMG would disregard artists’ unrecouped balances when distributing the cash. x https://store.taylorswift.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
