Paramount Challenges Netflix With $30-per-share All-cash Bid For Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount has launched a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), challenging Netflix’s attempt to acquire the studio. David Ellison’s studio submitted a $108.4 billion offer, surpassing Netflix’s $82.7 billion bid. Netflix had offered $27.75 per share to acquire Warner Bros. and its assets, including HBO Max. Paramount, however, is pursuing an all-cash offer for WBD’s entire portfolio, including CNN and Cartoon Network, arguing that its bid avoids the uncertainty of shares and potential regulatory delays. Netflix sought to circumvent these issues by focusing on film, streaming, and games. Paramount reportedly submitted six proposals to Warner Bros. Discovery over three months, but WBD rejected them. Paramount then took its latest offer directly to WBD’s shareholders and board, asserting its superiority to Netflix’s proposal. Paramount values Warner Bros. Discovery at $30 per share—$18 billion more than Netflix’s valuation. Unlike Netflix’s cash-and-stock offer, Paramount’s bid is entirely in cash, which they believe will be more attractive to shareholders.
Paramount lance une offre audacieuse de 40,7 milliards de dollars en actions, obtenant l’acquisition de Warner Bros DiscoveryDespite antitrust debate and political influence
To finance the deal and alleviate potential national security concerns, the Ellison family and RedBird Capital guaranteed $40.7 billion in equity. Additional funding comes from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, including those of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar, along with Affinity Partners, led by Jared Kushner. Paramount also secured $54 billion in debt financing from Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo. Paramount has stipulated that Kushner and the Gulf funds will have no governance control, including board seats. Paramount is swaying Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders by raising doubts about Netflix’s claim that it can secure antitrust approval within 12 to 18 months. Shareholders will weigh antitrust risks, the intrinsic value of cable assets like CNN and Cartoon Network, and the overall appeal of owning Netflix shares. Adding a political dimension to the negotiations, David Ellison Jr., son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, stated on December 8, 2025, that a Netflix acquisition of WBD would eliminate competition in Hollywood. That same day, in a CNBC interview, Ellison suggested that former President Trump would support the best deal. Trump then stated, « I know these companies well. I wanna do what’s right, »
