CBS filed a lawsuit aimed at allowing it to reduce the power of majority owner National Amusements, which has an 80% share in CBS and Viacom. The suit seeks to keep National Amusements from interfering with a special meeting of the CBS board of directors to consider issuing a dividend that would reduce NAI’s voting interest to 17%. CBS claims recent actions by National Amusements president Shari Redstone, who is pushing for a merger between Viacom and CBS, “presents a significant threat of irreparable and irreversible harm.” NAI responded with a statement saying it had “absolutely no intention” of replacing the CBS board or forcing a deal not supported by both companies, adding it believes the lawsuit was filed because National Amusements raised concerns about bullying and intimidation by a director in 2016.
