Gabelli Asset Management Inc. (GAMI) has achieved a significant legal victory in Delaware Chancery Court regarding Project Fishbowl, an initiative representing over 700 clients concerning Paramount's transaction with Skydance. The court found a 'credible basis to suspect wrongdoing' in GAMI's books and records action.

As the largest non-NAI holder of voting shares, GAMI alleges that National Amusements (NAI), controlled by Shari Redstone, will receive additional compensation for their Paramount voting shares that isn't being offered to other shareholders. Based on Paramount's public filings, GAMI believes NAI will receive significantly more than the $23 per share offered to minority shareholders.

The Gabelli Value 25 Fund, which holds the largest number of voting shares, plans to continue Project Fishbowl to determine the exact value NAI will receive and seek equitable distribution for all Paramount voting shareholders.
