Vevo LLC’s four owners are close to hiring Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to explore sale options for the music video-hosting service, according to three people familiar with the matter. The sale of a majority stake is being considered among those options, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the process is private. Vevo is co-owned by Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group, Sony Corp. (6758)’s Sony Music Entertainment, Google Inc. (GOOG) and Abu Dhabi Media Co.
