Paramount Skydance is doubling down, reaffirming its $30-a-share bid for Warner Bros. Discovery and insisting it tops the deal WBD struck with Netflix. The company says it has “diligently and constructively” addressed every concern raised by WBD, pointing to its December 22 revised proposal and follow-up filings that, it claims, fixed all outstanding issues -– including an irrevocable personal guarantee from Larry Ellison backing the equity financing. Paramount argues WBD is still flagging problems it says were already resolved, such as flexibility around interim operations. On Wednesday, the WBD board rejected Paramount’s latest offer in favor or Netflix’s roughly $27.75-a-share bid for WBD’s studios and streaming assets.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division has asked for additional information as it reviews Paramount’s $108.4 billion tender offer, according to a regulatory filing. Paramount submitted its required filings to the FTC and DOJ on December 8, with the initial waiting period slated to expire December 23. That clock has now been paused after the DOJ issued requests for further information, extending the deadline until 10 days after Paramount certifies it has substantially complied with the request.
