Company history:
EMI Records Ltd., since incorporation was an immediate subsidiary of EMI Ltd., and as of 2011 formed part of the recorded music division of EMI Group Ltd. (Formerly known as EMI Group Plc) On the 11th Nov 2011, Citigroup (ultimate owner of EMI Group Ltd.) signed a definitive agreement to sell EMI Group Ltd., and its various worldwide operating companies to Vivendi SA. The transaction was subject to certain regulatory approvals. Regulatory approvals were obtained with the requirements of certain divestments, the sale completed on the 28th September 2012.
As a condition of the sale to Vivendi SA.
