Paramount Skydance intensifies its takeover bid for Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) by nominating directors, opposing a merger with Netflix, and pursuing legal action for transparency.

Paramount argues that WBD's refusal to engage leaves shareholders as decision-makers and plans to propose bylaw amendments for shareholder approval on asset separations. The dispute also raises concerns about editorial independence at CNN and the influence of the Ellison family, who support Trump. Paramount has filed a lawsuit for disclosure on the Netflix deal's valuation, emphasizing the need for informed shareholder decisions. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
