The $64 billion takeover proposal for UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP NV by Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management has divided market analysts, who are now closely watching the next moves of the company’s most influential shareholders. Central to the deal's success is the stance of the Bolloré family, which exerts significant influence through BOLLORE SE and VIVENDI SE.
