Description

Paramount and Netflix engage in a high-stakes takeover battle for Warner Brothers Discovery, reminiscent of the eighties. Paramount offers $30 per share, while Netflix has an $82.7 billion deal. Professors Skeel and Armours research suggests Paramount has a chance, as U.S. law gives directors more power to defend against hostile bids. Warner Brothers Discovery hasnt used a poison pill defense yet, but experts believe Paramount will raise its offer, potentially leading to a legal battle. The directors are obligated to secure the best deal for shareholders, making this one of the most significant takeover battles in recent memory.
