Netflix (WBD) declined to raise its offer to match Paramount Skydance's bid for Warner Bros on Feb 26, 2026.
The WBD Board determined Paramount Skydance's proposal is a "Superior Proposal" under the merger agreement, and Netflix said matching that price was "no longer financially attractive." Netflix reiterated it will invest approximately $20 billion in films and series this year and will resume its share repurchase program.
Paramount (NASDAQ: PSKY) confirmed Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) Board found Paramount's $31.00 per share all-cash proposal a superior proposal. Key terms include a $0.25 per-quarter ticking fee after Sept 30, 2026, a $7 billion regulatory termination fee, Paramount paying WBD's $2.8 billion Netflix break fee, elimination of WBD's potential $1.5 billion financing cost, a $45.7 billion Ellison equity commitment and a $57.5 billion debt commitment from lead banks.
The HSR waiting period expired Feb 19, 2026; a definitive merger agreement and expiration of the four-business-day match period remain required to complete the transaction.
Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) said its Board determined a revised Paramount Skydance (PSKY) proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal under the Netflix merger agreement on Feb. 26, 2026.
PSKY values WBD at $31.00 per share cash, includes a $0.25 per share per quarter ticking fee starting after Sept. 30, 2026, a $7 billion regulatory termination fee, PSKY payment of WBD's $2.8 billion Netflix termination fee, an equity backstop from Larry J. Ellison and a MAE carve-out for Global Linear Networks. Netflix has a four business day match period; the Board continues to recommend the Netflix transaction.

Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) said on Feb 24, 2026 its Board determined a revised Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a "Company Superior Proposal" under WBD's Netflix merger agreement.
