Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 30, 2025, Mills Music Trust (the "Trust"), EMI Mills Music Inc. ("EMI Mills Music") and EMI Consortium Music Publishing Inc. (together with EMI Mills Music, "EMI") agreed to settle all claims (the "Settled Claims") of the Trust or the trustees of the Trust (i) for all periods of time prior to December 31, 2024 relating to EMI's obligation to make ongoing payments to the Trust of a deferred contingent purchase price obligation (each, a "Contingent Portion Payment")under the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 5, 1964 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") and (ii) regarding the interpretation of certain provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement that had been subject to a tolling agreement between EMI and the Trust.

Under the terms of the settlement, among other things, (i) EMI agreed to make a payment to the Trust in the amount of $500,000 within ten business days of October 30, 2025 in full and final settlement of the Settled Claims (the "Settlement Payment"), (ii) the Trust and EMI agreed to amend Section 1(c)(i)(A) of the Asset Purchase Agreement to provide that beginning with the quarterly period beginning July 1, 2025, in calculating any Contingent Portion Payment due and payable by EMI to the Trust, EMI shall cap the foreign sub-publishingfee between EMI and any foreign affiliate thereof at twenty-five percent (25%), which cap acts as a limitation on certain deductions that EMI can make to the payments due to the Trust, and (iii) the Trust and EMI agreed to amend Section 1(c)(i)(B) of the Asset Purchase Agreement to provide that beginning with the quarterly period beginning July 1, 2025, EMI shall only be entitled to offset the costs associated with EMI obtaining U.S. copyright renewals for a song against royalty income collected by EMI in the U.S. for such song (and not against any foreign royalty income collected outside of the U.S. for such song), and this modification also serves to narrow permissible offsets to payments due from EMI to the Trust.

The full text of the pro forma Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Settlement Agreement, effective as of July 1, 2025, is included as Exhibit 4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
