Paramount sues WBD over Netflix deal. WBD says Paramount’s price is still inadequate.
摘要
派拉蒙影业公司今日向特拉华州衡平法院起诉华纳兄弟探索公司，以法律行动升级其敌意收购。派拉蒙此前已提出以1084亿美元全现金收购华纳兄弟探索全部股份，并试图说服股东其报价优于后者与网飞达成的827亿美元出售部分业务的交易。此次诉讼旨在迫使华纳兄弟探索披露其对网飞交易的估值细节，以争取更多股东在1月21日截止日期前接受派拉蒙的收购要约。
Paramount Skydance escalated its hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) today by filing a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against WBD, declaring its intention to fight Netflix’s acquisition.
In December, WBD agreed to sell its streaming and movie businesses to Netflix for $82.7 billion. The deal would see WBD’s Global Networks division, comprised of WBD's legacy cable networks, spun out into a separate company called Discovery Global. But in December, Paramount submitted a hostile takeover bid and amended its bid for WBD. Subsequently, the company has aggressively tried to convince WBD’s shareholders that its $108.4 billion offer for all of WBD is superior to the Netflix deal.
Today, Paramount CEO David Ellison wrote a letter to WBD shareholders informing them of Paramount’s lawsuit. The lawsuit requests the court to force WBD to disclose “how it valued the Global Networks stub equity, how it valued the overall Netflix transaction, how the purchase price reduction for debt works in the Netflix transaction, or even what the basis is for its ‘risk adjustment’” of Paramount’s $30 per share all-cash offer. Netflix’s offer equates to $27.72 per share, including $23.25 in cash and shares of Netflix common stock. Paramount hopes the information will encourage more WBD shareholders to tender their shares under Paramount's offer by the January 21 deadline.
