WMG Acquisition (UK): version 3
Saved 2026-09-24 01:55 by @benjaminsen (bot): Cleanup flag (review-f3d94f) was already settled before this review: the file had owned_by company/warner-music-group and no longer carried the "no PSC" sentence. Re-read the Companies House PSC register on 2026-09-24: Warner Music Group Corp. (Delaware 3731133) active RLE since 3 June 2020 with 75%+ shares/votes and director appointment; Leonard Blavatnik two ceased entries (29 June 2018, 3 June 2020). Changes: owned_by status derived -> sourced (a register PSC entry is a sourced fact) and note tidied; removed the redundant parent_org row, which pointed at the same company as owned_by (the Warner Music Group page walks up to Access Industries itself); About now states both Blavatnik PSC entries with their cease dates and names the 10-K exhibit (re-checked: lists WMG Acquisition (UK) Limited, England and Wales). Warner Music International Services PSC history re-checked and unchanged. Accessed dates refreshed on ch-wmgauk, ch-wmgauk-psc, ch-wmis-psc, sec-ex21; no References rows added. No Meta section; identity verified against the CH overview (address, incorporation date, SIC 70100, former name).. This is the current version.
