Paramount Skydance announced on Monday it has commenced an all-cash tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Warner Bros. Discovery for $30 per share, valuing the company at an enterprise value of $108.4 billion and representing a 139% premium to the undisturbed stock price.

The hostile bid comes days after Netflix agreed to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's studio and HBO Max streaming business for $27.75 per share in a cash and stock deal valued at $72 billion, which does not include the Global Networks segment housing CNN, TBS and other cable channels.

Paramount's offer is backed by equity financing from the Ellison family and RedBird Capital, along with $54 billion in debt commitments from Bank of America, Citi and Apollo, and includes funding from sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi as well as Affinity Partners.

Paramount CEO David Ellison stated the company submitted six proposals over 12 weeks that Warner Bros. Discovery never meaningfully engaged with, and argued the Netflix transaction would create a company with 43% of global subscription video on demand subscribers, raising competition concerns.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the Netflix deal could be a problem because of market share concerns and indicated he would be involved in the regulatory decision, while the Senate is preparing for an antitrust hearing to examine the proposed transaction between the two companies.

Paramount's tender offer, approved unanimously by its board, is scheduled to expire at 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 8, 2026 unless extended, and if Warner Bros. Discovery walks away from the Netflix deal to accept another offer, it would owe Netflix $2.8 billion under the existing agreement terms.
