- On Tuesday, Warner Bros. Discovery said it is putting itself up for sale and launched a review while continuing its planned split of cable networks from streaming and studio businesses.
- Warner Bros. Discovery said it had recently received `unsolicited interest` from multiple parties, while Paramount Global's September bid appeared to stall in recent weeks.
- As of Monday, Warner Bros. Discovery had a market value of over $45 billion and is supported by financial advisors Allen & Company, J.P. Morgan, and Evercore, with legal counsel Wachtell Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.
- The Warner Bros. Discovery board said there is no deadline or definitive timetable for the strategic alternatives review and no assurance it will lead to a transaction.
- Through the review, the Warner Bros. Discovery board will evaluate a broad range of strategic options, including the sale of the entire company or separate transactions for Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, and consider an alternative separation structure enabling a merger and spin-off option.
