Paramount Skydance launches hostile bid for WBD after Netflix deal

Paramount Skydance launches hostile bid for WBD after Netflix deal

The post Paramount Skydance launches hostile bid for WBD after Netflix deal appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Paramount Skydance is launching a hostile bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery after it lost out to Netflix in a monthslong bidding war for the legacy assets, the company said Monday. Paramount will go straight to WBD shareholders with an all-cash, $30 per share offer. That’s the same bid WBD rejected last week and equates to an enterprise value of $108.4 billion.

Warner Bros.

Discovery in September, submitting three bids before WBD launched a formal sale process that ultimately brought in other suitors. On Friday, Netflix announced a deal to acquire WBD’s studio and streaming assets for a combination of cash and stock, valued at $27.75 per WBD share, or $72 billion. Paramount had been…
