Historic independent publisher Carlin America Inc. is to be sold to Round Hill Music in a deal approaching $250m. Reportedly, the agreement – thought to be for a likely sale price between $240m and $250m – remains subject to closing and it is expected to be finalized next month.

Carlin’s catalogue of more than 100,000 songs includes classic hits recorded by the likes of Elvis Presley, AC/DC and Billie Holiday.
