Paramount Skydance

“A major Trump donor who's helping to finance the WBD takeover. His Jewish identity and ties to Israeli President Netanyahu are cited by Paramount as a factor in opposition.”

“Paramount Skydance executives believe that antisemitism is playing a role in opposition to the company's proposed $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.”

“Warner Bros. Discovery shares are trading at a significant discount to Paramount's $31 per share takeover price, as investors remain skeptical that the deal will close.”

“The DOJ cleared the deal, reportedly 'before career antitrust staffers had an opportunity to object,' yet state AGs and European regulators remain threats.”

“There's a lot of fear-mongering... Some of these people are trying to inflict harm on this transaction really because of their own antisemitic views.”

“I can't quantify it, but there seems to be an antisemitic component within the opposition.”

“Paramount CEO David Ellison has rubbed much of Hollywood the wrong way by cozying up to President Trump.”

“Paramount Skydance would be willing to divest some children's TV assets, possibly including Nickelodeon, to secure EU approval for its Warner Bros. Discovery takeover.”
