Discovery was deemed insufficient by a major WBD shareholder, who called for Paramount to increase its incentives to compete with Netflix in the bidding war. Despite the new proposal including a $40.4 billion financing guarantee and increased breakup fee, WBD advised shareholders to hold off on action, as the core financial terms remained unchanged from a previous rejected bid.
