By the numbers: How the Netflix and Paramount bids for Warner Bros stack up

Dec 17 (Reuters) – Warner Bros Discovery’s board rejected Paramount Skydance’s $108.4 ‍billion hostile bid, saying it failed to provide adequate financing assurances, in a blow ‌to the ‌David Ellison-run company’s ambitions to grow its media empire.

Warner Bros’ board, in a letter ​to shareholders, said it found Paramount’s offer “inferior” ‍to the ​merger agreement with ​Netflix.

Warner Bros chose Netflix ‍as its suitor earlier this month, securing an $82.7 billion enterprise deal for its ‍TV, film studios and streaming assets, while Paramount’s bid ‍includes ‍all of ​Warner Bros’ assets.

Here ​is ⁠how both the ‌bids compare:
