Netflix to Paramount: Your Warner Bros bid “doesn’t pass the sniff test” as takeover clock ticks
Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters criticized Paramount Skydance’s $30-per-share hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, calling it risky and reliant on Larry Ellison. Paramount’s offer, valuing Warner at about $108 billion, expires Feb. 20. Netflix and Warner seek a shareholder vote by April on their revised all-cash deal. U.S. and EU regulators are preparing for simultaneous reviews of both bids.
