Between August 6 and August 7, 2026, the Hilversum-based music giant acquired 3,349,000 shares at an average price of €15.36 per unit. The transaction, conducted on the Euronext exchange, represents approximately 20 percent of the total capital earmarked for the current buyback initiative.

The company maintains a standing disclosure policy for these operations, providing weekly aggregate updates via its investor relations portal to satisfy EU Market Abuse Regulation requirements. This repurchase activity aligns with UMG's broader financial strategy to manage its capital structure while continuing to invest in its global catalog of recorded music and publishing assets.
