Mills Music Trust (the Trust) is formed for the purpose of acquiring from Mills Music, Inc. (Old Mills), the right to receive payment of a deferred contingent purchase price obligation (the Contingent Portion) payable to Old Mills. The obligation to pay the Contingent Portion arose as the result of the sale by Old Mills of its music and lyric copyright catalogue (the Catalogue). The Trust receives quarterly payments of the Contingent Portion from EMI Mills Music Inc. (EMI) and distributes the amounts it receives to the registered owners of Trust Certificates (the Unit Holders) representing interests in the Trust (the Trust Units), after payment of, or withholdings in connection with, expenses and liabilities of the Trust. The Catalogue is estimated to be composed of over 12,000 music titles (the Copyrighted Songs). Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC (Sony/ATV) is the administrator and manager of EMI and the Catalogue.
