- The board favored Paramount Skydance’s proposal due to its superior financial terms compared to Netflix’s offer.
- Paramount increased its cash bid to $31 per share for the entire company, including pay-TV channels like CNN, TBS, and TNT.
- Netflix chose not to revise its proposal within a seven-day negotiation window and exited the bidding process.
- WBD’s CEO emphasized that the merger is expected to generate substantial value for shareholders.
However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid.— Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters in a Netflix statement
