Universal Music Group will receive U.S. antitrust approval for its $1.9 billion purchase of EMI labels without conditions today, according to a source close to the transaction.
In Brussels, the European Commission gave Vivendi's Universal Music Group approval for the transaction but required asset sales worth about $350 million.
Once Universal wins approval from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, it will be able to close the deal.
