Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) confirmed on Feb 24, 2026 it submitted a revised proposal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD).
Paramount said the submission follows engagement after WBD received a seven-day waiver under its merger agreement with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). Completion requires WBD Board to deem Paramount's offer a Company Superior Proposal, expiration of a four-business-day match period, termination of the Netflix merger agreement, and execution of a definitive merger agreement. Paramount will continue its previously announced tender offer and solicitation opposing the Netflix merger while WBD considers the revised proposal.
NFLX said WBD filed a definitive proxy and set a special meeting for March 20, 2026 to vote on Netflix's board‑recommended acquisition of Warner Bros. Netflix says the offer is fully financed, submitted HSR filings, and expects timely regulatory approval while criticizing rival PSKY's financing and execution risks.
Ancora Holdings (investor with ~$200M economic interest in Warner Bros. Discovery, NASDAQ: WBD) released a presentation on Feb 11, 2026 opposing the proposed WBD-Netflix merger and urging the WBD board to re-engage with Paramount. Ancora argues Paramount offers $30 cash and credible Ellison Trust backing, while the Netflix deal has uncertain cash (maximum $27.75; could be as low as $21.23) and regulatory risk.
Ancora highlights DOJ antitrust scrutiny, concerns about a Discovery Global spinoff debt allocation, and urges shareholders to seek a higher-value outcome.
Paramount (NASDAQ:PSKY) filed preliminary proxy materials and extended its $30 per share all-cash tender offer for Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) to February 20, 2026, stressing a $108.4 billion enterprise value vs. Netflix's purported $82.7 billion.
Paramount urges WBD shareholders to reject the amended Netflix deal, citing lower per-share cash consideration, undisclosed Discovery Global details and significant regulatory risk for the Netflix transaction.
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) reported Q4 2025 results with revenue of $12.05 billion, up 18% year‑over‑year, and net income of $2.42 billion (diluted EPS $0.56, +31% YoY). Operating income rose to $2.96 billion and operating margin expanded to 24.5%. Free cash flow for Q4 was $1.87 billion, while full‑year 2025 revenue reached $45.2 billion (+16% YoY) with $9.5 billion in free cash flow and a 29.5% operating margin. Memberships surpassed 325 million paid members. Advertising revenue exceeded $1.5 billion in 2025 with management expecting ~$3 billion in ad revenue for 2026. Netflix amended its merger agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery to an all‑cash deal at $27.75 per WBD share and has $42.2 billion in bridge facility commitments to support the acquisition. The company paused share buybacks and ended Q4 with $9.0 billion in cash.
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Warner Bros. Discovery amended their merger agreement to an all-cash transaction at $27.75 per WBD share, unchanged from the prior structure. WBD stockholders will also receive value from the planned separation of Discovery Global. The all-cash structure increases value certainty, is financed by cash on hand, credit facilities and committed financing, and is intended to accelerate a WBD stockholder vote by April 2026. Closing remains subject to the Discovery Global separation, regulatory approvals, WBD stockholder approval and customary conditions.
Netflix (NFLX) welcomed the Warner Bros. Discovery board's reaffirmation of the merger agreement and its unanimous recommendation that stockholders reject Paramount Skydance's revised offer.
Under the December 5, 2025 agreement, Netflix will acquire Warner Bros. Discovery in a cash-and-stock transaction at $27.75 per WBD share, with an enterprise value of ~$82.7 billion and equity value of $72.0 billion. The deal preserves the planned spin-off of Discovery Global (expected Q3 2026). Netflix has filed Hart-Scott-Rodino and is engaging U.S. and EU competition authorities; closing is expected in 12–18 months from the merger agreement date.
Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) announced its Board unanimously recommends shareholders reject Paramount Skydance's (PSKY) amended tender offer and continue supporting the merger with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).
The Board says the Netflix deal offers $23.25 cash plus $4.50 in target Netflix stock value, greater certainty and no comparable transaction costs. By contrast, PSKY's offer would trigger about $4.7B of costs to WBD (including a $2.8B termination fee, a $1.5B fee and ~$350M interest), relies on >$50B incremental debt, would create ~7x pro forma leverage and could take 12–18 months to close.
Paramount (NASDAQ:PSKY) amended its $30 per share all-cash offer for Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) on Dec 22, 2025, adding execution assurances to address WBD's stated concerns.
Key changes: an irrevocable personal guarantee of $40.4 billion from Larry Ellison, a commitment not to revoke the Ellison family trust (which Paramount reports holds ~1.16 billion Oracle shares), an increase in the regulatory reverse termination fee to $5.8 billion, expanded interim-operational flexibility, a condition that WBD retain 100% of its Global Networks, and a tender deadline extension to Jan 21, 2026.
