Warner Bros. Discovery Warming Up To Paramount Deal

Also Read

Paramount has upped its offer for Warner Bros. Discovery to $31 a share, above its previous offer of $30 per share.

Warner Bros. Discovery said the board has not yet made a determination as to whether the offer is superior to Netflix’s but says it could “reasonably be expected” to lead to a “company superior proposal.” Netflix has offered $27.75 per share for the company’s streaming and film assets alone, in a deal valued at $82.7 billion.

The revised proposal from Paramount not only includes the increased purchase price of $31.00 per WBD share in cash, but also a daily ticking fee payable to shareholders equal to $0.25 per quarter beginning after Sept. 30, 2026, as well as a $7 billion regulatory termination in the event the transaction does not close due to regulatory matters. Paramount has also agreed to pay the $2.8 billion termination fee that Warner Bros. would be required to pay to Netflix to terminate the existing merger agreement.

The ticking fee schedule was originally slated to start Dec. 31, and the $7 billion fee is also being raised from the $5.8 billion fee that the company proposed. The new timing for the ticking fee and the higher termination fee is meant to underscore Paramount’s confidence that it can get the deal through the regulatory process, and to put pressure on Netflix.

The companies, however, are still talking, which suggests that Paramount’s latest offer may not be its “best and final.” WBD had said that it wants to get to that point in order to remove any doubt over Paramount’s willingness to raise, and Netflix’s ability to match.

If the Warner Bros. board determines that Paramount’s offer is a “Company Superior Proposal,” Netflix will have four business days to negotiate with WBD and to propose any revisions to its bid.

Paramount has been launching hostile takeover bid directly with shareholders in its effort to undo the previously agreed $82.7 billion Netflix deal. That deal was first unveiled in December and amended into an all-cash bid in late January. Warner Bros. board members had given Paramount a deadline of early this week for a revised best and final bid. Paramount’s offer encompasses all of Warner Bros., which means it would also be taking on linear cable networks such as CNN, TBS, HGTV and TNT.

WBD has set a March 20 date for shareholders to vote on the Netflix deal, meaning that the clock is ticking to come to a conclusion one way or another.

Earlier this morning, Warner Bros. had said its board, along with financial and legal advisors were reviewing Paramount’s latest new offer, but did not reveal exact details of the bid. Paramount had also confirmed the bid but was mum on details.

Press Release: A Bold New Era For African Young Entertainment With Base Pulse On DStv

Also Read

A bold new era for African youth entertainment is loading as BASE Pulse prepares to officially switch on across the continent on DStv Channel 322.

Billed as a dynamic new multiplatform youth culture and entertainment channel, BASE Pulse is positioning itself as more than just another music offering. Instead, it promises to be a next-generation ecosystem where African creativity, storytelling and pop culture collide.

Every generation has a movement a beat stitched into its DNA. Across Africa, that movement lives in rhythms born in kasi corners and amplified onto global stages. It lives in fashion that turns identity into expression and in the voices of young creators shaping culture with confidence and ambition. BASE Pulse says it wants to bottle that energy and beam it across the continent.

Designed as a youth culture hub, the channel blends music, digital content, storytelling and real-world experiences to empower and amplify African creatives. From spotlighting emerging voices to celebrating established cultural movements, BASE Pulse aims to connect Africa’s youth to global opportunities through an always-on, multiplatform approach.

The channel is created by Pulse Entertainment, a next-generation media house focused on powering Africa’s creative economy. As a 360-degree media company, Pulse Entertainment says it is reshaping how African stories are created, distributed and experienced by bridging broadcast, digital, social and experiential platforms to build globally competitive African intellectual property.

Nomsa Philiso, director: content and general entertainment in English and Portuguese Africa at MultiChoice Group, a CANAL+ company, said the new addition strengthens the platform’s youth offering.

“We’re always looking at ways to add value to the DStv offering, and BASE Pulse does exactly that by introducing fresh African entertainment to the platform,” she said.

Channel manager Kgomotso Lakaje described the launch as the beginning of a cultural movement.

“BASE Pulse is not just a channel it is a movement. Our goal is to create a platform where African youth culture is not only celebrated, but also monetised, exported, and elevated globally. We are building a space where creators, brands, and audiences can connect in meaningful ways,” she said.

Presenter Caddy Tsotetsi echoed the sentiment, highlighting the continent’s youthful demographic.

“Africa has the youngest population in the world, and their stories deserve to be told at scale. As BASE Pulse, our commitment is to empower the next generation of creatives and give them a stage that stretches far beyond the continent,” she said.

Programming on the channel will span the latest music, trending pop culture moments, youth-focused storytelling, music documentaries, digital-first formats, dance reality content and interactive viewer-choice music blocks where audiences can select their favourite tracks.

Among the signature shows audiences can look forward to are Highlife Reloaded, celebrating classic Ghanaian Highlife reimagined for a new generation, and KeWave including KeWave East, KeWave West and KeWave South spotlighting the hottest sound movements from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and beyond.

Another flagship show, Plugged-In, will deliver fast-paced daily entertainment news hosted by The Squad, keeping viewers up to date with trending stories, celebrity culture and the conversations shaping youth pop culture across Africa.

With its finger firmly on the pulse of the continent’s sound and style, BASE Pulse is gearing up to become the living heartbeat of African youth culture loud, unapologetic and ready to move.

Marianne – eExtra Se Nuwe Franse Misdaad-Drama Land In Maart

Also Read

eExtra, ’n algemene vermaakskanaal wat telenovelas en dramareekse uit Turkye, Indië en Asië aanbied, lanseer ’n nuwe reeks, Marianne. Dit is ’n Franse misdaad-drama wat op die kanaal vanaf 1 Maart om 19:00 uitgesaai word.

Opsomming vir Marianne

Bekend as Marianne, One of a Kind! of Judge Marianne, volg die reeks Marianne Vauban, ’n hoogs onkonvensionele en uitgesproke ondersoekregter wat in Toulon gebaseer is. Marianne los komplekse, dikwels bisarre misdade op saam met Kaptein Raphaël Pastor en haar lojale hofklerk, Yves Marguet.

’n Dekade-oue koue saak rondom die moord op ’n prostituut staan sentraal in die intrige. Marianne het die slagoffer se seun, Zacharie, belowe dat sy die moordenaar sal vind. In Seisoen 1 neem sy die begaafde tiener onder haar vlerk terwyl sy werk om die amptelik geslote ondersoek te heropen.

Die reeks het vir die eerste keer in Augustus 2022 in Switserland uitgesaai, gevolg deur België en op France 2 in September 2022. Dit speel Marilou Berry as Marianne Vauban, Alexandre Steiger as Raphaël Pastor, Stéphane Pezerat as Yves en Alka Balbir as Selma.

Die eerste seisoen bestaan uit 6 episodes, elk met ’n duur van 52 minute. ’n Tweede seisoen is ook vervaardig, met verfilming wat na Marseille verskuif het.

In ander ontwikkelinge het eMedia Investments aangekondig dat hulle Kelders Van Geheime ná 2 seisoene sal kanselleer, met die reeks wat in Augustus 2026 sal afsluit. Ander programme wat binnekort eindig, sluit in House Of Zwide, Smoke & Mirrors en Scandal!.

e.tv Beëindig ‘House Of Zwide’ En ‘Kelders Van Geheime’ Terwyl Kanaal Sy Programaanbod Verfris

e.tv het aangekondig dat twee van sy vlagskip-dramas, House of Zwide en Kelders van Geheime, tot ’n einde sal kom terwyl die kanaal voorberei om nuwe programme bekend te stel.

House of Zwide sal sy laaste episode op 26 Junie 2026 uitsaai, wat ’n vyf-seisoen-loopbaan afsluit wat gefokus het op die opkoms en spanning binne ’n magtige mode-dinastie. Die reeks het een van die kanaal se mees herkenbare handelsmerke geword, met ’n lojale aanhang opgebou en die plaaslike modebedryf in die hart van prime-time-verhaalkuns geplaas.

Die program, vervaardig deur Bomb Productions, het gehelp om verskeie toneelspel-loopbane te lanseer en te bevorder, terwyl dit temas soos ambisie, nalatenskap en veerkragtigheid verken het teen ’n agtergrond van glans en mededinging.

Die Afrikaanse telenovela Kelders van Geheime sal twee maande later afsluit, met sy finale episode geskeduleer vir 28 Augustus 2026. Vervaardig deur K Films en Videovision Entertainment, het die reeks kykers ingetrek in ’n wêreld van familiegeheime, verraad en verlossing.

Die drama het onlangs agt nominasies by die 19de SA Film en Television Awards ontvang, wat sy kritiese erkenning binne die bedryf beklemtoon.In ’n verklaring Donderdag het die uitsaaier gesê dat albei reekse met duidelike narratiewe boë bedink is en dat die afsluiting daarvan op hul kreatiewe hoogtepunte sy verbintenis tot kwaliteit-verhaalkuns weerspieël.

“Om hulle op hul kreatiewe hoogtepunte af te sluit, eerder as om hulle verder as hul bedoelde boë te rek, weerspieël e.tv se verbintenis tot kwaliteit-verhaalkuns en respek vir sy gehore,” het die kanaal gesê.e.tv het die rolverdelings, spanne, skrywers en produksievennote bedank vir die lewe gee aan die programme, sowel as die kykers wat hulle oor die jare ondersteun het.

Die uitsaaier het gesê dat die afloop die sluiting van twee gewilde televisie-wêrelde merk en die begin van ’n nuwe hoofstuk in sy drama-lys.

Press Release: Warner Bros. Discovery Sets Special Meeting Date of March 20, 2026, And Unanimously Recommends Shareholders Vote FOR Netflix Merger; As Talks With Paramount Are Underway

Also Read

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD") (NASDAQ: WBD) today announced that it will hold the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") to vote on the merger with Netflix, Inc. ("Netflix") (NASDAQ: NFLX) on March 20, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time and the commencement of mailing of the definitive proxy statement to shareholders in connection with the Special Meeting. WBD also announced today that Netflix has provided WBD a limited waiver under the terms of WBD's merger agreement with Netflix, permitting WBD to engage in discussions with Paramount Skydance ("PSKY") (NASDAQ: PSKY) for a seven-day period ending on February 23, 2026 to seek clarity for WBD stockholders and provide PSKY the ability to make its best and final offer. During this period, WBD will engage with PSKY to discuss the deficiencies that remain unresolved and clarify certain terms of PSKY's proposed merger agreement. Netflix retains its matching rights as defined by the merger agreement.

The WBD Board of Directors (the "WBD Board") continues to unanimously recommend in favor of the Netflix merger. The WBD Board also unanimously recommends that shareholders reject the PSKY offer, for the reasons set forth in the amendment to our Schedule 14D-9 filed today with the SEC.

Following receipt of PSKY's latest amended offer, a senior representative for PSKY informed a WBD Board member that, if the WBD Board authorized discussions, PSKY would agree to pay $31 per share and that the offer was not PSKY's "best and final" proposal. This price, along with several other matters that PSKY stated it would address in its February 10 letter, are not reflected in the latest merger agreement that PSKY proposed. To provide specific clarity in this regard, WBD has today sent PSKY a letter, included below, setting out the key issues yet to be addressed by PSKY, along with drafts of full transaction agreements for PSKY to confirm the terms of its offer.

"Throughout the entire process, our sole focus has been on maximizing value and certainty for WBD shareholders," said David Zaslav, President and Chief Executive Officer of Warner Bros. Discovery. "Every step of the way, we have provided PSKY with clear direction on the deficiencies in their offers and opportunities to address them. We are engaging with PSKY now to determine whether they can deliver an actionable, binding proposal that provides superior value and certainty for WBD shareholders through their best and final offer."

Samuel A. Di Piazza, Jr., Chair of the Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors added, "As announced today, we continue to believe the Netflix merger is in the best interests of WBD shareholders due to the tremendous value it provides, our clear path to achieve regulatory approval and the transaction's protections for shareholders against downside risk. With Netflix, we will create a brighter future for the entertainment industry – providing consumers with more choice, creating and protecting jobs and expanding U.S. production capacity while increasing investments to drive the long-term growth of our industry."

WBD today sent the following letter to PSKY, together with revised versions of the merger agreement and other transaction documentation:

Dear Members of the PSKY Board:

The Board of Directors of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is fully committed to delivering a superior transaction to our shareholders. Since our decision last year to separate our Streaming & Studios businesses from our Global Linear Networks business, we have actively explored a wide range of alternatives, including through a publicly-announced strategic review process in which Paramount Skydance (PSKY) participated, having initially approached WBD in September 2025. Our agreed transaction with Netflix offers superior value for our shareholders, allows us to achieve our strategic goal to separate WBD's businesses, offers a high degree of certainty with minimal risk to the businesses in the interim and has essentially no financing risk. The WBD Board continues to unanimously recommend that our shareholders approve the Netflix transaction, as reflected in the definitive proxy statement we have filed with the SEC today.

On February 10, PSKY amended its tender offer for WBD common stock. While this amendment addresses some of the concerns that WBD had identified several months ago, it still contains many of the unfavorable terms and conditions that were in the draft agreements submitted by PSKY on December 4, 2025 and December 22, 2025 and twice unanimously rejected by our Board. PSKY indicated in its February 10 letter to the WBD Board a willingness to address some of those concerns, but does not do so in its proposed merger agreement, leaving WBD with vague assurances of intention. Other important issues raised several times with PSKY are unchanged from your prior submissions. On February 11th, a senior representative of your financial advisor communicated orally to a member of our Board that PSKY would agree to pay $31 per WBD share if we engage with you, and that $31 is not PSKY's best and final proposal.

We are writing to inform you that Netflix has agreed to provide WBD a waiver of certain terms of the Netflix merger agreement to permit us, through February 23, to engage with PSKY to clarify your proposal, which we understand will include a WBD per share price higher than $31. We seek your best and final proposal. To be clear, our Board has not determined that your proposal is reasonably likely to result in a transaction that is superior to the Netflix merger. We continue to recommend and remain fully committed to our transaction with Netflix and have scheduled a special meeting of our shareholders on March 20, 2026 to vote on the Netflix merger agreement.

As you know, it is typical and expected for a would-be overbidder to accept the substantive terms of the merger agreement that the target company has already agreed with its existing merger party. To provide you with specific clarity in this regard, we have prepared, and our legal counsel will deliver to you today, copies of transaction agreements that conform to this approach, address key issues for the WBD Board in prior PSKY offers and incorporate the terms and assurances reflected in your February 10 letter, as well as certain other changes to reflect matters unique to your proposal. Attached at the end of this letter is a business summary of these changes. As part of your binding proposal, the WBD Board needs confirmation that you are prepared to sign our proposed agreements. We encourage you to be direct and transparent with your best and final value and other terms in that binding proposal.

During this seven-day period – as we consistently did during the strategic review process last year – we welcome the opportunity to engage with you and expeditiously determine whether PSKY can deliver an actionable, binding proposal that provides superior value, transaction certainty and interim protection for WBD's businesses to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders.

On behalf of the WBD Board of Directors,

Samuel A. Di Piazza, Jr.                                                       

Board Chair

David Zaslav

President and

Chief Executive Officer

Summary of Changes to Transaction Agreements

Below is a summary of the principal business changes reflected in the transaction agreements provided by WBD today, as compared to the draft agreements provided by PSKY in its tender offer. Many of these reflect terms proposed by PSKY in its public statements but not reflected in its merger agreement; others align the draft agreement with the terms of the Netflix merger agreement.

Refinancing and Junior Lien Notes: PSKY to bear expenses in connection with any junior notes liability management exercise when incurred, or pay the $1.5 billion financing fee to WBD at the time it would be due (December 30, 2026). The Netflix merger agreement does not require WBD to bear any cost in this regard.

Bridge Refinancing: PSKY's consent will not be required for WBD's bridge refinancing, which will consist of dollar and euro term loan debt and bonds on market terms available at the time of the refinancing. The bond component will have a tenor of no more than 7 years, and will be non-callable for no more than 3 years, and the loan component will be non-callable for no more than 1 year. This provision is substantially more favorable to PSKY than the terms of the Netflix Merger Agreement, which permit WBD full refinancing flexibility.

Material Adverse Effect: Consistent with the statement in PSKY's Feb. 10 letter that it is "prepared to address any concerns WBD has regarding the impact of Discovery Global's performance on closing certainty," the "Company Material Adverse Effect" definition excludes effects attributable to the performance of WBD's Global Linear Networks business (consistent with the Netflix Merger Agreement).

Equity Cure to Support Debt: The significant debt financing and resulting pro forma leverage in the PSKY offer create material closing uncertainty, particularly when compared to Netflix's investment grade credit rating and large positive free cash flow. PSKY has repeatedly stated that these concerns are not serious, noting the personal wealth of your lead equity sponsor and the credibility of your lending banks. To reflect your assurances, the draft agreements provide that in the event the transaction would not close due to the debt financing being unavailable, additional equity will be funded to enable closing to occur

Interim Operating Covenants: The interim operating covenants should not require consent from PSKY in order for WBD to operate its business in the ordinary course between signing and closing. The additional covenants you have proposed are not part of our agreement with Netflix, and are not accepted, as they further risk the certainty of closing.

Equity Financing Certainty: Our changes to the PSKY equity documents reflect the need for absolute clarity as to funding obligations and certainty of funding at closing, or to pay damages if due.

Equity Syndication: WBD will receive notice and full information regarding any equity syndication, and its consent will be required for any direct or indirect syndication that would require regulatory approvals or delay closing.

The WBD Board has not determined that PSKY's proposal is reasonably likely to result in a transaction that is superior to the Netflix merger. There can be no assurance that a definitive transaction will result from WBD's discussions with PSKY. The WBD Board and management team remain resolute in their commitment to maximizing value for shareholders and continue to recommend shareholders vote FOR the merger with Netflix.

Canal+ Afrique Ajoute Quatre Nouvelles Chaînes Aux Packs DStv English Plus Et Convertit E! En Bravo

Also Read

Suite à l'acquisition de MultiChoice fin 2025 par Canal+, le groupe français a imposé à l'entreprise diverses mesures d'économies. Cela a notamment inclus le non-renouvellement des droits des Jeux olympiques d'hiver par SuperSport, les décisions étant désormais prises en France.

Alors que de nouvelles coupes budgétaires sont en cours, Canal+ Afrique va offrir à ses abonnés l'accès à 4 chaînes DStv supplémentaires. Cela inclut Studio Universal et National Geographic, ainsi que SuperSport Action et WWE, avec E! qui devient Bravo.

SuperSport Action propose de l'UFC, de la NBA et du football international, tandis que WWE offre une couverture 24 heures sur 24 du catch.

L'ajout de SuperSport Action et WWE sur Canal+ Afrique porte le nombre de chaînes SuperSport disponibles sur la plateforme de 4 à 6. Cela fait suite à l'élargissement par MultiChoice de l'accès à WWE aux abonnés DStv Access en Afrique du Sud.

Bravo, la chaîne internationale emblématique de NBCUniversal dédiée à la télé-réalité et aux franchises iconiques du genre, a été lancée en Afrique en octobre 2025. Elle est prévue pour remplacer la version française diffusée sur Canal+ Afrique dès le 17 mars.

La chaîne rebaptisée diffusera encore plus d'émissions phares, notamment : The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Below Deck et ses déclinaisons (Méditerranée, Sailing Yacht, Australie), Southern Hospitality, Bravo’s Love Hotel, Next Gen.

Studio Universal est une chaîne de télévision spécialisée appartenant à Universal Networks International (division de NBCUniversal), axée principalement sur les films et les programmes liés au cinéma.

Elle se spécialise dans la diffusion de films – majoritairement issus du catalogue Universal Pictures – ainsi que du contenu associé comme des interviews, des making-of, des courts-métrages et des blocs thématiques (par exemple, des soirées ou saisons dédiées à un genre, un réalisateur ou un acteur spécifique).

National Geographic propose des documentaires et des émissions spéciales sur des thèmes comme la nature, la faune, la science, l'espace, l'histoire et l'aventure. Elle est célèbre pour ses contenus à haute valeur de production (par exemple, des séries avec David Attenborough ou Air Crash Investigation).

Elle fait partie d'une coentreprise entre la National Geographic Society et The Walt Disney Company.

Suite au retrait de BET Africa et à l'accord de dernière minute entre Warner Bros. Discovery et Canal+ qui a permis à MultiChoice de conserver ses chaînes, il semble que cet accord ait exclu Canal+ Afrique du packaging de Discovery Channel.

Cela a conduit à l'inclusion de National Geographic, avec Studio Universal servant d'ajout sur la plateforme.

Cette traduction conserve le ton informatif et journalistique du texte original. Note que ce contenu semble provenir d'une actualité récente (début 2026) liée à l'intégration post-acquisition Canal+/MultiChoice en Afrique, avec des ajouts de chaînes anglophones via les packs DStv English Plus sur Canal+ Afrique.

Encerramento De Canal: A TV Moçambique Internacional Deixará De Ser Transmitida Na DStv A Partir De 24 De Fevereiro

Also Read

Aqui está a tradução do artigo para o português (pt-PT/pt-BR adaptado para clareza e naturalidade, mantendo o tom jornalístico original):

No mês passado, a TLNovelas foi retirada da plataforma DStv como parte das medidas de corte de custos da Canal+ na MultiChoice. Isso também levou a SuperSport a perder os jogos dos Phillies e os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno, com o conteúdo local a ser ainda mais reduzido na M-Net.

Com o mês ainda nem terminado, parece que a MultiChoice vai reclamar outra vítima na DStv e, desta vez, é a TV Moçambique Internacional.

A TV Moçambique é o canal internacional da emissora nacional de televisão de Moçambique, Televisão de Moçambique (TVM), que transmite 24 horas por dia. Exibia programação local com destaque para a cultura moçambicana, turismo e desporto.

Na altura, Marta Odallah, diretora da TVM Internacional, afirmou: "A adição da TVM Internacional na DStv está alinhada com o nosso objetivo de divulgar a realidade social, política, cultural e desportiva de Moçambique para além das nossas fronteiras".

"Esta colaboração representa um salto gigante tanto para a TVM como para a MultiChoice, e, de facto, um passo na direção certa da inclusão na radiodifusão para todos os moçambicanos".

Após 7 anos, o canal vai agora ficar no escuro na DStv a partir de 24 de fevereiro e parece que o encerramento está a ser abafado. Ao contrário do que aconteceu com a TLNovelas, a MultiChoice não enviou qualquer aviso aos subscritores da DStv sobre a TVM Internacional.

Este não é apenas o segundo canal a ficar no escuro durante o ano, mas, tal como a TLNovelas, era direcionado a países de língua portuguesa. Com a saída da TVM Moçambique, basicamente restam apenas a Kwenda e a Maningue Magic como alternativas.

O problema é que estas marcas são baseadas em Angola e Moçambique, enquanto a TVM Moçambique Internacional alargava o seu alcance a outras partes de África.

Warner Bros Discovery is considering reopening sale talks with rival Hollywood studio Paramount Skydance, after receiving its hostile suitor's most recent amended offer, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

Members of Warner Bros' board are discussing whether Paramount could offer the path to a superior deal, the Bloomberg report said, adding that the board has not decided how to respond and may stick to the current deal with Netflix.

Paramount had enhanced its Warner Bros bid last week by offering shareholders extra cash for each quarter the deal fails to close after this year. It also agreed to cover the breakup fee the HBO parent would owe Netflix if it walked away, even though the CBS owner did not raise its per-share offer.

Paramount said it has offered shareholders a 25-cent-per-share quarterly "ticking fee" (about $650 million) in cash starting in 2027 until closing and agreed to cover Warner Bros’ $2.8 billion breakup fee to Netflix. However, it did not raise its $30-per-share offer, valuing the deal at $108.4 billion including debt.

Both Netflix and Paramount covet Warner Bros for its leading film and television studios, extensive content library and major franchises such as "Game of Thrones," "Harry Potter" and DC Comics superheroes Batman and Superman.

Activist investor Ancora Holdings, which has built a nearly $200 million stake, last week said it plans to oppose the Netflix deal, arguing the board did not sufficiently engage with Paramount over its rival bid, which includes cable assets like CNN and TNT.

Paramount Sweetens Offer For Warner Bros. Discovery

Also Read

Paramount has enhanced its offer for Warner Bros Discovery, not formally upping its $30-a-share cash bid but injecting a new $0.25-per-share so-called “ticking fee” payable to WBD shareholders for each quarter its transaction has not closed beyond December 31, 2026.

It said the move comes to about $650 million in cash value each quarter and underscores “Paramount’s confidence in the speed and certainty of regulatory approval for its transaction.” It also agreed to fund a $2.8 billion termination fee that would be payable to Netflix and ticked off a series of concessions around WBD’s debt financing costs and obligations.

Warner Bros Discovery has a deal to sell its studios and streaming assets to Netflix and advised shareholders several times to reject a hostile takeover offer from David Ellison‘s company, which is looking to acquire all of WBD. There’s a full-out PR battle raging as executives of all three court content creators, unions, Warner shareholders, politicians and regulators on both sides of the Atlantic. Netflix late last month upgraded its offer of $27.75 a share from cash-and-stock to all cash.

WBD has yet to set a date for a special meeting in April where shareholders will vote on the Netflix transaction. It’s been urging them to cast a yes vote. Paramount is aggressively lobbying them to vote no and, meanwhile, to tender their WBD shares to Paramount. The Ellisons have said they are planning to run an alternate slate of directors for election at WBD’s annual meeting, which comes later.

Both deals are expected to have long lead times to close. Netflix is not buying the cable assets and its agreement would see WBD spin off linear television into a separate public company called Discovery Global.

Paramount is ramping up the pressure with its announcement today. The $2.8 billion termination fee that would be due to Netflix if WBD switches sides has, for instance, has been an objection raised by the Warner board, which confirmed receipt of the amended offer. It will “carefully review and consider” it and issue a recommendation. Meanwhile, the board stressed that it still backs the Netflix deal and advised stockholders not to take any action on Paramount’s latest unsolicited offer.

Paramount’s other new commitments include eliminating WBD’s potential $1.5 billion financing cost by fully backstopping an exchange offer that relieves WBD of its contractual bondholder obligations. Par said it will fully reimburse WBD’s shareholders for the $1.5 billion fee without reducing a separate $5.8 billion termination fee. That’s the amount Paramount (and Netflix) have agreed to pay WBD if an acquisition fails to close.

Also, if WBD’s financing sources will not extend the maturity of WBD’s existing $15 billion bridge loan, Paramount said its own debt financing sources “are fully prepared to do so, with any incremental costs covered by Paramount. Alternatively, Paramount will permit WBD to structure permanent financing in any way it chooses so long as the debt is redeemable at a commercially reasonable cost.”

Paramount said it will provide WBD flexibility between signing and closing, including by matching any comparable Netflix interim operating covenants. It said it “is open to discussing with the WBD Board of Directors contractual solutions to account for the possibility of continuing deteriorating financial performance beyond what WBD is currently projecting for its linear network business.”

Paramount’s amended offer is now fully financed by an increased $43.6 billion of equity commitments from the Ellison family and RedBird Capital Partners and $54 billion of debt commitments from Bank of America, Citigroup and Apollo.

Financing includes “an irrevocable personal guarantee” from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison of $43.3 billion covering the equity financing as well any damages claims against Paramount.

“While we have tried to be as constructive as possible in formulating these solutions, several of these items would benefit from collaborative discussion to finalize. If granted a short window of engagement, we will work with you to refine these solutions to ensure they address any and all of your concerns,” David Ellison wrote in a letter to the WBD board released publicly and in an SEC filing today.

Paramount claims the WBD board has consistently refused to engage with it over the course of multiple offers, which Warner has denied.
