This Amendment No. 21 to Schedule TO (together with any exhibits and annexes attached hereto, and as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Amendment”) is filed by (i) Prince Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Paramount Skydance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Paramount”), and (ii) Paramount, and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 8, 2025 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”)  by the Purchaser and Paramount. This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Warner Bros.”), at $30.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 8, 2025 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on December 8, 2025, and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal,” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on December 8, 2025.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information in Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

 

Items 1 through 9 and 11

 

The Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

1.The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Background of the Offer; Other Transactions with Warner Bros.” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of the section:

 

On the morning of February 17, 2026, Warner Bros. issued a press release announcing that it will hold the Special Meeting on March 20, 2026 and that Warner Bros. had commenced mailing of its definitive proxy statement. Warner Bros. also announced that representatives of Warner Bros. had solicited and obtained from Netflix a limited waiver under the terms of the Netflix Merger Agreement to permit Warner Bros. to engage in discussions with Paramount regarding a potential transaction for a seven-day period ending on February 23, 2026. The Warner Bros. Board chose to take this action rather than make a determination that the February 10 Offer could reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal.

 

That same day, the Warner Bros. Board sent the Paramount Board a letter that, among other things, repeated many of the assertions Warner Bros. had previously made regarding Paramount’s Offer. The letter also stated that Warner Bros. would deliver to Paramount copies of transaction documents for a potential transaction with Paramount, which were received by counsel to Paramount later that day.

 

Later in the afternoon of February 17, 2026, Paramount issued a press release acknowledging the announcement from Warner Bros. and noting that, although the Warner Bros. Board’s actions were unusual, Paramount intends to engage with Warner Bros. in good faith to negotiate a transaction during the seven-day period permitted by the limited waiver. Paramount also filed a definitive proxy statement soliciting votes against the Proposed Netflix Transaction and the other proposals to be considered at the special meeting of Warner Bros. stockholders to be held in connection with the Proposed Netflix Transaction.
