    A blank-cheque company backed by hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman is to buy a 10 per cent stake in Universal Music Group, Taylor Swift’s label, for $4bn, it confirmed on Sunday.

    As part of the transaction, a first of its kind for a special acquisition company, Pershing Square Tontine Holdings, Ackman’s investment vehicle, will distribute the shares to its shareholders only after Vivendi, UMG’s French owner, completes its planned listing of the stock on Euronext Amsterdam.
