## Summary

Warner Music Group has acquired Zebralution Music, a distributor serving independent record labels in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. The deal returns the business to Warner, which previously controlled Zebralution for about ten years, and gives its partner labels access to Warner’s distribution technology and services.

Zebralution Music was separated from Zebralution’s audiobook and digital publishing operations this year after Bookwire acquired the wider company from GEMA. Co-chief executives Konrad von Löhneysen and Sascha Lazimbat will stay on to run the distributor and work with Warner Music Central Europe. Warner says labels will retain their existing relationships and independence while gaining access to distribution, analytics and financial tools powered by Revelator.
