WMG Acquisition (UK): version 2

Saved 2026-09-24 01:15 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled both queue items. absence_prose: removed the About sentence saying Companies House records no PSC for this company; it was wrong, since the PSC register (new ref ch-wmgauk-psc) lists Warner Music Group Corp. as the relevant legal entity since 3 June 2020 (75%+ shares/votes), and Len Blavatnik from 6 April 2016 to 3 June 2020. owner_unknown: added owned_by company/warner-music-group from 2020-06-03 at status derived, because a PSC entry may record an indirect holding and the registered direct shareholder can't be read (the 2025 full accounts, 148 pages, are a scan with no text layer). Kept the parent_org row from Exhibit 21.1. The walk up continues on the Warner Music Group page, which already has owned_by AI Entertainment Holdings and parent_org Access Industries Management. Split About into a lede plus a second paragraph on WMIS control, updated the summary, and refreshed the accessed dates on ch-wmgauk and sec-ex21. Added reference: ch-wmgauk-psc. No stubs created.. Current is v3.
