Rhea-AI Filing Summary
A director of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. filed an amended Form 4 to correct the number of shares reported from the company’s 2022 merger with AT&T’s WarnerMedia business. The amendment shows the director acquired 3,673 shares of WBD Series A common stock on April 8, 2022 at a price of $0, reflecting shares received rather than a market purchase.
The shares came from the Reverse Morris Trust combination in which AT&T’s WarnerMedia assets were spun into Spinco and then merged into a Warner Bros. Discovery subsidiary. Each Spinco share was automatically converted into 0.241917 shares of WBD Series A common stock, and this automatic conversion generated the 3,673 shares now correctly reported as directly owned.
