       #Paramount on Monday dialed up pressure in its #HostileTakeover bid for #WarnerBrosDiscovery, saying that it intended to nominate directors to the #WBD board to help advance the deal. Paramount also sued WBD, demanding more information about how the company had decided that #Netflix’s bid was superior [they don’t want to work with you].The moves were the latest in a series of increasingly aggressive actions by Paramount to buy WBD.#Billionaires #LarryEllison #RightWing #media #antitrust #law

       The #WarnerBrosDiscovery board last week rebuffed Paramount’s latest $108 billion bid to acquire the company, sticking with its deal to sell a large portion of its business to #Netflix for $83 billion. #Paramount on Monday said it would nominate directors who would “exercise WBD’s right under the Netflix Agreement to engage on Paramount’s offer & enter into a transaction with Paramount.”#WBD #Billionaires #DavidEllison #LarryEllison #Oracle #RightWing #media #antitrust #law

       @Nonilex I don’t get it… how do you sue a company for not wanting to be bought by you?

       #Paramount also said it would propose an amendment to the company’s bylaws that would require #WBD to get shareholder approval before breaking off its #cable unit as it had planned.As part of the monthslong back & forth, Paramount has accused the Warner board of running a sales process that unfairly favored #Netflix. #WarnerBrosDiscovery has argued that Netflix’s bid is better for shareholders than Paramount’s in part because of the extensive debt it would load on the company.#media #law
