In August 2007, Sanctuary agreed to a GBP 44.5m takeover by the Universal Music Group. Sanctuary chairman
Robert Ayling was quoted as saying; "The past few years have proved to be a very difficult time for
Sanctuary and a very disappointing one for its shareholders. (The) acquisition... can allow the Sanctuary
business to benefit from the already well-established relationships between Sanctuary and Universal and from
a more supportive capital structure, which is in the future interests of artists and employees."
In September 2007, Universal announced "it has been decided that its Sanctuary Records UK division will
no longer continue as a stand alone, front-line record label."
In September 2010 when Universal also released APD, No Remorse and RNR as but as jewel cases with a grey Expanded edition they also
