Michael Jacksons Money Man Also Has

Sony/ATV Side Gig

The man who holds the purse strings to Michael Jacksons estate has also
managed to carve out a lucrative side gig at the late singers music publishing
company.
John Branca, a top entertainment lawyer and one of two executors for Jacksons
estate, sits on the board of Sony/ATV, which owns the bulk of the singers song
catalog.

catalog.
He also has landed a role as a senior adviser to parent Sony. His salary, which
started at $500,000 in 2014, is set to rise to $1 million next year, according to
emails leaked by Sony hackers.

Several sources tell The Post that Branca has sought a top role at Sony/ATV,
which is run by CEO Martin Bandier, for some time but that Sony offered
alternative arrangements instead.
His dual roles as a paid adviser to the Sony/ATV board of which he is also a
member led to some handwringing within the company, according to the emails
that came to light this week on WikiLeaks.
Top Sony executive Nicole Seligman scratched her head trying to figure out to
whom Branca should report without ruffling feathers.
She wrote in one email: Bandier is awkward because Branca is on the Board

She wrote in one email: Bandier is awkward because Branca is on the Board
(as is Bandier), the Board is awkward because he is on it, so why pay him to
advise it?
The fact that Branca wears more than one hat is also raising some questions
among outside observers.
Branca, along with co-executor John McClain, is tasked with assuring the
financial future of Jacksons three children with much of their income derived
from the Gloved Ones song catalog.
Sony/ATV is co-owned by Jacksons estate and Sony. The music venture has
been expanding, including teaming with an investor consortium to acquire the
publishing assets of EMI in 2012.
Its a serious conflict of interest, said one person, referring to Brancas
two hats working for the kids and the company. How can he be taking
money from the asset that the kids own 50 percent of?
Branca was said to be overseas and unreachable. His lawyer, Joel Katz,
declined to comment.
But Brancas supporters say he is only looking out for the Jackson familys
interests by getting even closer to their profit source. As a consultant to
Sony, he can help maximize the value of the music assets, such as
advising on the purchase of new catalogs.
Branca is one of the top lawyers in the field of music and is a partner in
the law firm Ziffren Brittenham. He has represented the likes of The
Beach Boys, The Doors and Berry Gordy, among others.
In his consulting role, Branca will provide legal advice on matters related to
music publishing, artist development and relationships, and other matters of
importance, according to the emails.

importance, according to the emails.

God, I thank you for allowing Michael to continue to watch over his
children:
Prince Michael, Paris, and Blanket.

Whats this is all about?
Since Sony/ATV beginnings, there has always been someone from MJ's
camp sitting on board, for example Dileo, Raymone, Tohme and even
Branca previously.
I think it is only right to have someone from MJ's camp on the board so it is
not just Sony who gets all the benefits of it. I'm sure once the kids grows up,
one or more of them will be sitting on board.

Actually I can imagine the New York Post took this from fan boards. I have
seen these discussions by anti-Estate fans on certain boards. Slow news day
it seems and I guess Stacy Brown too is on a vacation, if the New York Post
has to rehash fan board discussions as "news".

There is a poster on LSA who calls himself truth78 and he is spamming the
forum with this stuff for weeks now. I don't think it's Taaj Malik. Apparently
it's a male.

Anyone who has read Sonys email leaks would know the
consultant/adviser role Branca requested at the surprise of Sony is
described incorrectly in this article.

it doesn't. depending on your perceptions you can see it as a possible
conflict of interest or not.

Did they call him a bad name instead of an adviser? I wouldn't be surprisedI read a few of them this morning (not digging through them, it was posted
on the Associated Press) where they disparaged Bruce Jenner and some
other people. These execs are something else.

I do see where an advisory position would be a conflict of interest with the

board itself. But I'm glad he's a board member-I would want someone
looking out for one of the Estate's most valuable assets. And his past
successes in Entertainment Law speak for themselves. Glad it was done in
the past and glad it's done now.

Whether or not this is a conflict of interest depends on how Sony has
structured its board of directors. Some boards are advisory and only use
membership from outside the company for oversight (i.e. not paid
employees, although they may be shareholders.). Some boards do have
authority over hirings/firings, salary, etc., in which case the dual role could
be a conflict. I don't see a conflict with the estate, though, because the goal
would be the same -- to preserve and increase the revenue stream (Branca
gets a percentage of the earnings of the estate, so he has a vested interest
to see that Sony does well, for the estate, for the heirs, and for his own
revenue.)

^^ok thank you both for the info and for the link. I read the link on my
phone.
What I read made it sound like a conflict due to reporting to a 3 person
team, including a member of the Estate. Well that's him or McLain. When I
get to a PC I will try to look further. Thank you.

Thank you! Now THAT is very useful, as a "primary source." (and oops
about the leakage? Sony's problem, obviously.) Whether or not it was/is a
conflict-of-interest is an internal matter for Sony to sort out, but I can't see
how it would affect or in any way compromise his duties to the estate.
