charles dudley warner Bros. Is apprisal shareholders to turn away a takeover call from Paramount Skydance, expression that a rival bid from Netflix will be better for customers.
"We strongly believe that Netflix and Warner Bros. Joining forces will offer consumers more choice and value, allow the creative community to reach even more audiences with our combined distribution and fuel our long-term growth," Warner Bros. Said Wednesday.
"We made this deal because their deep portfolio of iconic franchises, expansive library and strong studio capabilities will complement — not duplicate — our existing business."
Paramount went hostile with its bid last week, asking shareholders to reject the deal with Netflix favoured by the board of Warner Bros.
Paramount's bid isn't off the table altogether. While Wednesday's letter to shareholders means Paramount's is not the offer favored by the board at Warner Bros., shareholders can still decide to tender their shares in favor of Paramount's offer for the entire company — including cable stalwarts CNN and Discovery.
Unlike Paramount's bid, the offer from Netflix does not include buying the cable operations of Warner Bros. An acquisition by Netflix, if approved by regulators and shareholders, will close only after Warner completes its previously announced separation of its cable operations.
