Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors Determines Revised Proposal from Paramount Skydance Could Reasonably Be Expected to Lead to a "Company Superior Proposal"

WBD Will Continue to Engage with PSKY; Netflix Merger Agreement Remains in Place

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 -- Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("Warner Bros. Discovery" or "WBD") (NASDAQ: WBD) today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board"), consistent with its fiduciary duties and following consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors, has determined that the revised proposal from Paramount Skydance Corporation ("Paramount Skydance" or "PSKY") (NASDAQ: PSKY) could reasonably be expected to lead to a "Company Superior Proposal" as defined in WBD's merger agreement with Netflix, Inc. ("Netflix") (NASDAQ: NFLX) (the "Netflix Merger Agreement").

The revised proposal includes an increased purchase price of $31.00 per WBD share in cash, plus a daily ticking fee equal to $0.25 per quarter beginning after September 30, 2026, as well as a $7 billion regulatory termination fee payable by PSKY in the event the transaction does not close due to regulatory matters, payment by PSKY of the $2.8 billion termination fee that WBD would be required to pay to Netflix to terminate the existing Netflix Merger Agreement, an obligation to contribute additional equity funding to the extent needed to support the solvency certificate required by PSKY's lending banks, and a "Company Material Adverse Effect" definition that excludes the performance of WBD's Global Linear Networks business.

The Board has not made a determination as to whether the revised PSKY proposal is superior to the merger with Netflix. WBD will engage further with PSKY to determine if a proposal that constitutes a "Company Superior Proposal," as defined in the Netflix Merger Agreement, can be reached. In the event that the Board ultimately determines such a "Company Superior Proposal" has been received, Netflix will have four business days after such determination to negotiate with WBD and to propose any revisions to the Netflix transaction.

There can be no assurance that the Board will conclude that the transaction proposed by PSKY is superior to the merger with Netflix or that any definitive agreement or transaction will result from WBD's discussions with PSKY. The Netflix Merger Agreement remains in effect, and the Board continues to recommend in favor of the Netflix transaction and is not withdrawing or modifying its recommendation.
