Paramount eyes new board in hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros Discovery

Paramount Skydance is taking another step in its hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros Discovery, saying that it will name its own slate of directors before the next shareholder meeting of the Hollywood studio. Paramount also filed a suit in Delaware Chancery Court on Monday seeking to compel Warner Bros. to disclose to shareholders how it values its bid and the competing offer from Netflix. Warner Bros. is in the middle of a bidding war between Paramount and Netflix. Warner's leadership has repeatedly rebuffed overtures from Skydance-owned Paramount and urged shareholders to back the sale of its streaming and studio business to Netflix for USD 72 billion.

The statement, even for Trump, was a shocking comment that came as police were still investigating the deaths of the beloved director and his wife as an apparent homicide.

His message drew criticism even from conservatives and his supporters and laid bare Trump's unwillingness to rise above political grievance in ...
