Paramount (NASDAQ:PSKY) reaffirmed its $30.00 per share all-cash, fully financed offer to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) on Jan 8, 2026, and said WBD declined to engage. Paramount states its offer is superior to WBD's agreement with Netflix, which Paramount values at $27.42 per share today after adjusting for Netflix share price and an assumed zero equity value for the spun Discovery Global. Paramount assumes Discovery Global trades at a 3.8x EBITDA multiple and derives an illustrative Discovery Global equity value of $0.00 per WBD share (with up to ~$0.50 illustrative M&A option value). Paramount also says committed debt financing of $54.0 billion remains in force from Bank of America, Citibank and Apollo.
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.
Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) confirmed receipt on December 22, 2025 of an amended unsolicited tender offer from Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) to acquire all outstanding WBD common stock (the "Amended Tender Offer").
The WBD Board, with independent financial and legal advisors, will review the Amended Tender Offer consistent with its fiduciary duties and the Netflix Merger Agreement. The Board previously unanimously rejected a prior tender offer received on December 8, 2025 as providing inadequate value and not meeting the Netflix agreement's "Superior Proposal" criteria, and the Board is not modifying its recommendation regarding the Netflix Merger Agreement.
WBD advised stockholders not to take any action at this time. Allen & Company, J.P. Morgan and Evercore serve as financial advisors; Wachtell Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Debevoise & Plimpton serve as legal counsel.
