SkyDance will merge with Paramount into a new company valued at $28 billion Paramount said in a press release that US media holding company Sky Dance Media and Paramount Global have agreed to merge. The transaction will take place in two stages. In the first phase, investment fund Redbird Capital Partners and the Ellison family, which includes SkyDance president and founder David Ellison and his father, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, will pay $2.4 billion in cash to National Entertainment, Paramount's parent company. In the second phase, they will provide another $4.5 billion of voting (Class A) and non-voting Paramount shares (Class B), in addition to providing it with initial capital of $1.5 billion. As a result of the merger, a new company, Paramount, will be formed with an enterprise value of $28 billion. During the second phase, holders of Paramount voting stock will receive an option of $23 in cash or 15,333 new Paramount Class B shares per security, and $15 in cash or one new share of Paramount Class B non-voting stock.

Robert M. Bakish's announced exit from Paramount's leadership surprised a total of zero people familiar with the topic. Amid the ongoing discussions regarding Skydance’s proposed merger deal, as well as the impending end of the deal’s exclusive period, which expires next Friday, several heads have been severed. In fact, four board members have stepped down before Bakish. Consulted exclusively by Investing.com earlier today, David Katz, President and CIO of Matrix Asset Advisors Inc - one of PARA’s outspoken shareholders - said he considers the move “a major unforced error that will cost the company upwards of $50M, according to reports.” He added that “Bakish being fired was solely driven by Shari Redstone because he wouldn’t roll over and say the deal was a good deal.” Now, without Bakish, will Shari get what she wants? The clock is ticking, and the plot may be just beginning to thicken. Read our #exclusive take on the topic on Investing.com: https://lnkd.in/dA5tdzb9
