Overview
- Paramount filed a Delaware Chancery Court suit to compel Warner Bros. Discovery to disclose how it valued the Netflix transaction, the Global Networks spin-off and related debt adjustments.
- David Ellison said Paramount will nominate a slate of directors at WBD’s next shareholder meeting to engage on its $30-per-share all-cash offer.
- Paramount will propose a bylaw change requiring a shareholder vote on any separation of Global Networks, a step central to the Netflix structure.
- WBD’s board has again urged investors to reject Paramount’s tender and support Netflix’s roughly $82.7 billion cash-and-stock deal priced at $27.75 per share.
- Paramount’s tender remains open at $30 per share in cash with a current Jan. 21 expiration, as regulatory reviews for both potential transactions proceed.
