Warner Bros. Discovery Weighs Reopening Talks After Paramount’s Sharpened Hostile Bid
Paramount, with Skydance, has submitted a revised hostile offer to Warner Bros. Discovery offering to pay a $2.8 billion breakup fee, backstop debt refinancing and compensate shareholders if the deal misses a December 31 close. Warner Bros.
