Summary
Paramount Skydance, Netflix, and Comcast have submitted takeover offers for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) ahead of a first-round deadline. Paramount is bidding for the entire company, while Netflix and Comcast are targeting its film studio and streaming assets (Warner Bros. and HBO Max). A second round of bids is expected soon, with WBD aiming to finalize a sale by mid-to-late December.
Key Points
- Bidders & Offers: Paramount Skydance made a new offer for the whole company. Netflix and Comcast bid only for the film studio and streaming assets (Warner Bros. & HBO Max).
- Bid Details: Paramount’s previous $23.50-per-share offer was rejected. Netflix’s offer was described as “disciplined.” The size and structure of the new offers are not yet clear.
- Timeline: Another round of bids is expected in the coming weeks. WBD aims to announce a sale by mid-to-late December.
- Company Context: WBD was already planning to split into two separate entities: Warner Bros. (studio/streaming) and Discovery Global (TV networks). A successful Comcast bid for the assets would see this spinout proceed.
