WBD Signals Open Door to Paramount Skydance, Still Backing Netflix Deal

Warner Bros. Discovery’s board says Paramount Skydance’s revised bid could reasonably lead to a “Company Superior Proposal” under WBD’s Netflix merger agreement, detailing $31 per WBD share in cash, a quarterly ticking fee after Sept. 30, 2026, a $7 billion regulatory termination fee, PSKY’s payment of WBD’s $2.8 billion Netflix break‑up fee, added equity funding if needed, and a narrowed MAE definition; the board has not yet ruled this proposal superior to Netflix and will continue talks, with the Netflix merger remaining in effect and recommended. Advisors are listed in the release.

The company is also grappling with fluctuating travel demand and engine issues, leading to the deferral of $2.5 billion in planned aircraft capital expenditure. Analysts are questioning the merits of the Spirit Airlines deal, and JetBlue expects non-fuel costs to rise significantly.

"Microsoft and Activision Blizzard Merger Faces Delays, FTC Stands Firm"

Microsoft and Activision Blizzard have agreed to extend their merger agreement until October 18th, pending negotiations with UK regulators. The extension allows ample time to address regulatory concerns and finalize the transaction. The termination fee has been increased to $3.5 billion if the deal doesn't close by August 29th. Microsoft is negotiating with the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to address cloud gaming concerns and potentially sell off its rights to cloud gaming in the UK. The CMA has until Thursday to file relevant evidence for the tribunal judges to pause the appeal process.
