The #WarnerBrosDiscovery board of directors has rejected Paramount’s bid multiple times, opting instead to go with an offer from #Netflix, which #WBD says is more valuable. The board also said #Paramount has misrepresented itself to WBD shareholders, calling into question the legitimacy of the deal’s “illusory” proposed financing.

To counteract that critique, #Paramount said #Oracle founder #LarryEllison – the father of Paramount CEO #DavidEllison – will guarantee all $40.4 billion of the equity he’s putting up to finance the $78 billion deal. That’s a big guarantee, putting Larry Ellison on the hook for about a sixth of his roughly $250 billion net worth if something falls through.
