  1. F1. On October 6, 2026, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 27, 2026 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD"), Paramount Skydance Corporation ("Paramount") and Prince Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Paramount ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into WBD, with WBD surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Paramount (the "Merger").
  2. F2. 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 $31.0167 (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 33,067 deferred stock units ("DSUs") that have been amended by WBD to provide that such DSUs would be settled solely in cash.
  4. F4. On each of June 3, 2025 and June 9, 2026, the Reporting Person was granted a total of 24,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 9,067 RSUs, respectively, 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 (all of which were deferred and are DSUs) to provide that such DSUs would be settled solely in cash. Accordingly, such DSUs are now being reported in Table II of Form 4 as derivative securities.
  5. F5. Each RSU represents a right to receive an amount in cash equivalent to the value of one share of Series A Common Stock upon vesting.
  6. F6. 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.

Per Share Merger Consideration financial
"the "Per Share Merger Consideration""
deferred stock units financial
"each outstanding deferred stock unit ("DSU") was cancelled"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
Effective Time technical
"At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time")"
The exact clock time when a regulatory filing, approval, or corporate action formally becomes legally active; from that moment the change is binding and can be acted on. Investors care because the effective time marks when ownership, rights, trading rules, or new securities take effect — like a light switch turning on a contract or transaction — which determines when risks, benefits and market reactions begin.
withholding taxes financial
"less applicable withholding taxes"
Withholding taxes are amounts a payer or government takes out of payments — such as wages, interest, or dividends — before the recipient gets the money, functioning like a cashier keeping part of a bill to pay taxes on your behalf. For investors this matters because it reduces the cash they actually receive, affects net returns and yield calculations, and may require additional paperwork or treaty claims to recover or offset the withheld amount against final tax bills.
