Universal Music Group Holdings: version 2
Saved 2026-09-24 03:55 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled both queue flags. Added owned_by company/universal-music-group-inc (sourced): the Holdings company's own Rule 7.1 disclosure (Nolan v. UMG Holdings, C.D. Cal. 2:23-cv-00979, ECF 19, 2023-04-05) names Universal Music Group, Inc. (Delaware) and UMG N.V. as its corporate parents, and Universal Music Group, Inc. names only UMG N.V. in its own disclosures (S.D.N.Y. 1:26-cv-04760 ECF 12, 2026-07-07; N.D. Ga. 1:26-cv-04506 ECF 32, 2026-09-11, which adds Bolloré SE), placing Inc. directly above Holdings. Only the docket-entry text is on RECAP, not the PDFs. Kept parent_org to UMG N.V.; tightened summary; added References rows nolan-cds and lowe-cds and two About sentences. Created stub company/universal-music-group-inc (owned_by company/universal-music-group; refs sec-umg-inc and afm-cds, plus inherited lowe-cds and nolan-cds). SEC EDGAR gives California as its state of incorporation while group filings call it Delaware; the stub About states the disagreement. The walk ends at UMG N.V., which already carries no_corporate_parent.. This is the current version.
