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.
