BusinessParamount Set For $111bn Warner Bros Takeover After Netflix Drops Bid by Dopeboy8701(op): 2:12pm On Feb 27
Netflix has backed away from its proposal to buy Warner Bros Discovery, clearing the way for Paramount Skydance to win a months-long battle for one of Hollywood's most storied studios in a deal worth around $111bn (£82.2bn).

Warner Bros, which put itself up for sale last year, on Thursday said Paramount's latest bid was "superior" to the one from Netflix, which in turn refused to raise its offer.

Netflix executives say they have declined to match Paramount's bid as "the deal is no longer financially attractive" at that price.

The buyer would gain control of the iconic studio along with its films and media networks - a takeover that could significantly reshape the media landscape

Last December, Warner Bros agreed to a takeover offer from Netflix for some of its assets, in a deal worth roughly $82bn (£61bn) including debt.

Paramount then made a rival proposal, which was rebuffed by Warner Bros, but an increased offer was made earlier this week, boosted by $1 per share.

"The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval," Netflix co-chief executives Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said in a statement. "However, we've always been disciplined."

"This transaction was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price," the Netflix executives added.

The announcement came just hours after Sarandos had visited the White House on Thursday.

It caps off a dramatic months-long saga that - if approved by regulators - is likely to reshape Hollywood.

But California Attorney General Rob Bonta said later on Thursday that the potential merger "is not a done deal".

"These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny - the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review," he wrote in a social media post.

Bonta had said earlier this month that his office would review any deal involving Warner Bros as the entertainment industry represents a "critical sector" for California's economy.

Paramount would also need approval from the US Department of Justice as well as European regulators.

A deal between Paramount and Warner Bros could hold serious ramifications for the future of one of the US's biggest news brands - CNN. Warner Bros is the network's parent company.

Paramount, which is looking to transform itself into a Hollywood heavyweight, is backed by tech billionaire Larry Ellison and led by his son David.

The funding of Paramount's offer has drawn scrutiny, in part over the close ties between US President Donald Trump and Larry Ellison, a major Republican donor.

Trump has frequently attacked the news network over its reporting of his policies. He said in December that he believed CNN should be sold as part of any Warner Bros deal. He called the people running CNN "corrupt or incompetent" and said they should not be entrusted to run the network.

CNN head Mark Thompson sent an email to employees as news spread of the all-but-assured Paramount deal, telling workers to not "jump to conclusions about the future until we know more", US media reported.

The BBC has contacted CNN for comment.

Paramount's initial hostile bid was also supported by Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner through his investment firm, raising concerns about the president's influence over the deal.

Kushner's firm, Affinity Partners, backed away in December amid scrutiny over the deal.

Paramount's 2025 merger with Skydance also led to scrutiny amid negotiations with the Trump administration's Federal Communications Commission, which had to sign off on the deal.

Among the concessions made was Paramount's $16m settlement on behalf of CBS News. Trump had sued the network over a "60 Minutes" interview with former vice president Kamala Harris, claiming that the network had engaged in election interference in the way the program was edited.

The two studio's merger later resulted in leadership shakeups and layoffs at CBS News.

On Thursday, chief executive David Ellison welcomed the Warner Bros board's decision in favour of Paramount's sweetened offer. The proposal, he said in a statement, offers Warner Bros shareholders "superior value, certainty and speed to closing".

If Paramount's deal is approved by regulators, the company would fold Warner Bros' HBO Max streaming customers into its portfolio. It would also take ownership of CNN, the Food Network and a range of sports offerings.

Paramount's traditional networks already include brands such as Nickelodeon, CBS and Comedy Central.

Many in Hollywood have viewed the bidding war between Netflix and Paramount as a battle with no good winner.

Critics of a deal with Netflix voiced concern that the storied movie studio would be lost to the Silicon Valley streaming titan, paving the way for the depletion of cinema. But a merger with Paramount, which has touted itself among the last standing movie studios in Hollywood, also left critics unnerved over the company's perceived political connections to the Trump administration - a concern that has also riled the media landscape over the future of CNN.

Across the board, the selling of Warner Bros will have massive ramification across Tinsel town, with all but assured cuts to staff in a city that has been marred by continued production cuts.

In December, Warner Bros said it had agreed to sell its film and streaming divisions, including HBO, to Netflix in a deal worth $27.75 per share or roughly $82bn (£61bn), including debt.

Warner Bros said it would spin-off the remainder of its business, including traditional television networks and the news channel CNN, as an independent company.

But in a last-ditch push, Paramount this week agreed to pay more for a Warner Bros takeover. The company offered $31 per share in cash, up from $30 per share to take over the entire company.

It also agreed to pay $7bn should the deal fall through and cover the $2.8bn fee Warner Bros had agreed to pay Netflix in the event of a break-up of the merger plan.

FashionItalian Fashion Giant Prada Buys Versace – At A Discount by Dopeboy8701(op): 1:43pm On Dec 03, 2025
Prada announced on Tuesday that it has acquired Versace, bringing two major Italian luxury fashion houses under one roof.

The $1.38bn (£1.04bn) deal is well below the roughly $2bn that Versace's former parent company, Capri Holdings, paid for the brand in 2018.

The acquisition expands Prada's portfolio of designer brands - including Miu Miu - as it seeks to compete with rivals including French conglomerate LVMH, which owns Dior and Fendi in addition to Louis Vuitton.

Storied designer Donatella Versace stepped down as the brand's creative chief in March after 27 years at the fashion company, known for its glamorous styles and the iconic Medusa head logo.

She took over the company in 1997, after the murder of her brother Gianni. She was replaced by Dario Vitale, formerly a design director of Miu Miu, Prada's youth-focused luxury brand.

The company is being sold at a roughly $700m loss after Versace's sales slowed, along with the sale of Capri Holdings' other brands, which include Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo.

During Capri Holdings' ownership, Versace shifted from its recognisable ornate designs to embrace a more minimalist trend – while hiking prices.

Prada said in a one-line statement on Tuesday that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Versace, having received all required regulatory clearances.

Proceeds from the sale will help cut debt for Capri Holdings, Versace's former parent company, the firm said.

Capri chief executive John D Idol said: "We plan to use the proceeds to repay the majority of our debt, which will substantially strengthen our balance sheet."

Andrea Guerra, the chief executive of Prada, said earlier this year that Versace has "huge potential".

"The journey will be long and will require disciplined execution and patience," he said.
