Basically UA negotiated some upfront money to get out of the deal a year earlier. Much ado about nothing. He’ll have more on his podcast tonight.
That seems odd...theyre paying $9M to get out of a year of a deal that wouldve cost them $5M?
That was where the confusion was. The $9M isn’t a buyout. They’re speeding up the payments and as a concession they will pay less over the remaining 3 years and drop a year off the contract. UC would’ve made somewhere in the neighborhood of $13.5M over that same 3 year period.
So bottom line, UC gets less money but quicker.
