| Pistols, Beatles now work for bank Posted: 01 Feb 2011 04:38 PM PST Coldplay are one of the many EMI recording artists. EMI has been taken over by US banking giant Citibank. Picture: AFP Source: AFP THE label once home to the Sex Pistols, the Beatles and Pink Floyd is now part of an American bank after Citigroup took over EMI, the home of British music. The American bank took over debt-laden EMI, home to scores of contemporary artists including Coldplay, the label which once called itself the greatest recording organisation in the world. Citigroup's takeover closed a disastrous purchase of the music label by Guy Hands, founder of British private equity firm Terra Firma. The foreclosure by Citigroup, EMI's main lender, brings the label of British acts such as The Beatles and Pink Floyd under American control until a new buyer can be found. The takeover had been long expected, but came more than a month before Terra Firma Capital Partners Ltd. officially defaulted on roughly 3.4 billion pounds ($5.48 billion) of borrowings it took on to buy the label in 2007. Citigroup's move eliminates some uncertainty over EMI's future, and restructures EMI by reducing its debt by 65 percent to 1.2 billion pounds. Citigroup booked a 2.2 billion pound loss, while Terra Firma saw its 1.75 billion pound investment evaporate. The agreement leaves EMI, which also represents Lily Allen, Katy Perry, Coldplay and dozens of other acts, with more than 300 million pounds of available cash, enough to fund its operations, and a sustainable level of debt. For now, it won't have to rush into the arms of a financial savior, although companies like Warner Music Group Corp. and private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts have been jockeying to buy the company. EMI now has "the ability to invest in and grow its business," said Stephen Volk, the Citigroup vice chairman who will become the chairman of EMI's holding company, Maltby Acquisitions Ltd., in a statement. "This is a positive development for EMI, its employees, artists, songwriters and suppliers," he said. EMI's chief executive, Roger Faxon, said in a statement that the restructuring "has given us one of the most robust balance sheets in the industry." Uncertainty over its future was seen as a major distraction for EMI, which in recent years lost business from the Beatles' Paul McCartney and rock band Queen. The move also came after a jury in New York found in November that the U.S. bank did not fool Hands into buying EMI at an inflated price. Hands had testified that Citigroup dealmaker David Wormsley had misled him about the number of suitors for the label, while Citigroup said the accusations were an attempt to gain leverage in restructuring talks. Hands appealed the verdict earlier this month This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
