At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of WBD's Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Series A Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $31.01666668 (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"), without interest.
  3. F3. The total amount beneficially owned reflects a removal from Table I to Table II of Series A Common Stock underlying 9,067 restricted stock units ("RSUs") that have been amended by WBD to provide that such RSUs would be settled solely in cash.
  4. F4. Under the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding deferred stock unit ("DSU") was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock subject to the DSU multiplied by (b) the Per Share Merger Consideration, less applicable withholding taxes, and payable at the same time as the DSU from which it was converted.
  5. F5. On June 9, 2026, the Reporting Person was granted a total of 9,067 RSUs, which were previously reported in Table I of Form 4 by the Reporting Person. Effective October 2, 2026, WBD amended the terms of such previously granted RSUs to provide that such RSUs would be settled solely in cash. Accordingly, such RSUs are now being reported in Table II of Form 4 as derivative securities.

"the Per Share Merger Consideration"
deferred stock unit financial
"each outstanding deferred stock unit"
A deferred stock unit (DSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee or director the value of a share at a future date, paid in actual shares or cash when certain conditions are met (such as retirement or a set date). Think of it like a gift card that converts to company stock later; it aligns pay with long‑term performance and can affect future share count, compensation expense and potential cash needs, so investors watch DSUs for their impact on dilution and company finances.
restricted stock units financial
"9,067 restricted stock units"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
