Ailing UK music group EMI has said it plans to axe 1,800 jobs in an attempt to cut costs. The job cuts form part of a wider restructuring exercise aimed at restoring the heavily-indebted company's battered finances.
EMI said on Wednesday the revamp will cost a total of £110m ($154m) to push through, but should generate annual cost savings of £98.5m.
The overhaul includes new financing arrangements which will boost EMI's total debt capital to £1.65bn over the next three years.
Investor payout halved
"We are firmly on target to improve EMI's performance, and we are optimistic about our ability to attack the broader challenges," said Alain Levy, Chairman of EMI Recorded Music.
Most of the job losses will take effect by the end of the month, the company said.
It added that it plans to write down a further £92m this year to take account of loss making investments.
The new write-down comes on top of the £38m that the company spent extricating itself from its contract with fading pop star Mariah Carey late last year.
The singer had signed with EMI in March 2001 in what was rumoured to be one of the most expensive recording deals ever.
Investors in London reacted cautiously, sending EMI's shares 1p lower to 345p in early trade on Wednesday.
The dip in the company's stock price came as EMI said it plans to cut its dividend - an annual payment to shareholders - by half, to just 8p per share.
Music woes
EMI, hit by a decline in music sales during the global economic slowdown last year, made a £2m loss for the March to September period last year, down from a £59m profit twelve months earlier.
The sales downturn came amid mounting investor concern over the company's ability to service its debts.
There has been speculation that EMI, the world's third biggest music group, might be forced to sell off assets including its stake in the HMV record shop chain and its legendary Abbey Road recording studios.
Last year, EMI tried to merge first with Warner Music and then with German media giant Bertelsmann, but both proposed tie-ups fell through.

They invade countries with their "Terrorist Training Manuals", ensnaring gullible coonskins into doing their dirty work. Before you know it, Terrorist Training Camps (Mosques) up and down the country are filled with an army who swear allegiance to no flag, only to the power of the gun, bomb, and parcel cutter.
They are the crippled and disabled of online society, and should NOT be tolerated. With their ludicrous ping times and glacial download speeds. Let them have their cripples Internet 1 while DSL and faster users move onto Internet 2.
Wanting to run the theftPod on an OS used entirely by Leftist cowards so wrapped up in their own hubris that they believe they have the right to deprive artists (both musical and coding) of an income.
Is NO shred of Intellectual Property sacred? Clearly this sends out the message that there is NO REWARD for thinking, innovation and being creative. Imagine if Beethoven lived an environment like this, where every scrap of music he wrote was duplicated and 'shared' to the point of being made worthless by commonality. Would HE have been inspired to make the contributions to music that he achieved in more well-reasoned times?
It's disgusting that Slashdot have been point-blank REFUSING to run any articles submitted by their SUBSCRIBERS (i.e. The people paying their wages) regarding the X-Box European launch.

The whole subscription thing is disturbing, as the Editors stand by the fact that there is no financial difference to them whether a user subscribes or not. They still receive the same money, either from ad-views or subscription.
