Paramount has been trying to acquire Warner Bros. since September. The company first launched its tender offer on December 8, three days after Netflix announced a deal to buy Warner Bros\u2019 studios and streaming businesses. The company previously extended the offer for another month on December 22.<\/p>\n<p>David Ellison, Paramount\u2019s chief executive officer, said he will challenge the Netflix deal at the next meeting of Warner Bros shareholders. Warner Bros is planning a special meeting to approve the Netflix deal by April, giving Paramount a limited window to convince stockholders that its hostile offer is better.<\/p>\n<div class=\"visible-sm-block visible-xs-block m1010\">\n<div class=\"ad-container-wrapper\">\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Paramount has been actively campaigning against the Netflix proposal, meeting with shareholders and regulators, arguing that its $30-a-share cash offer is financially superior and a better outcome for consumers. The Warner Bros. board has continued to back the Netflix deal, saying it represents a better overall value for shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix said Tuesday it reached an amended, all-cash agreement to buy Warner Bros.\u2019s streaming and studio business, in a revision aimed at expediting closure of the deal and simplifying payment to shareholders, which previously included a stock component.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2026 Bloomberg<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Moneyweb\u2019s in-depth finance and business news on WhatsApp here.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script data-cfasync=\"false\">\n            !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n            {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n                n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n                if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n                n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n                t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n                'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n            fbq('init', '779812924991616');\n            fbq('track', 'PageView');\n        <\/script>#Paramount #extends #tender #offer #Warner #Bros #shares<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paramount Skydance Corp again &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[458,4548,1157,580,32,6846,457],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14689"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
