Warner Bros. Discovery For Sale

With a majority cash offer of tens of billions of dollars, Netflix has now taken a stance to purchase Warner Bros. and HBO Max, while rival Paramount Skydance also made a cash bid, for the entire company, including cable channels CNN and HBO, in the ongoing showdown to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery:

 

“…according to Warner Bros. Discovery, the Board will evaluate a broad range of strategic options, which will include continuing to advance the Company’s planned separation to completion by mid-2026, a transaction for the entire company, or separate transactions for its Warner Bros. and/or Discovery Global businesses. 

“ As part of the review, the Company will also consider an alternative separation structure that would enable a merger of Warner Bros. and spin-off of Discovery Global to our shareholders. 

“We continue to make important strides to position our business to succeed in today’s evolving media landscape by advancing our strategic initiatives, returning our studios to industry leadership, and scaling HBO Max globally. 

“We took the bold step of preparing to separate the Company into two distinct, leading media companies, Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, because we strongly believed this was the best path forward.”
