Shares of the company have dropped around 20% in the past six months, and Ackman says that the music business itself is fine. The problem, in his view, is that Universal is listed in Amsterdam. His plan is to buy the company and merge Universal with a new entity and move the listing to the New York Stock Exchange. Now, this acquisition is far from a sure thing. It actually needs a two-third vote …”
