Warner Bros. Discovery announced that its board is officially looking at options to benefit shareholders, after receiving several unexpected offers for the company as a whole, or just its Warner Bros. studio.
Reports have offered potential suitors include Paramount, Comcast, and Netflix.
Evaluating Multiple Paths Forward
The company announced it’s exploring several options, such as finalizing the planned split into Warner Bros. and Discovery Global by mid-2026, selling the entire company, or selling off its Warner Bros. and Discovery Global businesses separately.
The company is also exploring options like combining Warner Bros. with another company and distributing shares of Discovery Global directly to its investors.
Zaslav and Board Comment on the Move
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav stated the company is considering different possibilities to maximize the worth of its properties, following inquiries from potential buyers.
According to Zaslav, the company is making significant progress in adapting to the changing media environment. This includes pushing forward with key plans, revitalizing our studios, and expanding HBO Max internationally. We made the decisive move to create two separate companies – Warner Bros. and Discovery Global – because we were confident it was the right direction for the future.
Zaslav explained that the company’s valuable assets are attracting attention from potential buyers. Because of this interest, they’ve begun a thorough review of all their options to determine the best way to maximize the value of their holdings.
According to Board Chair Samuel A. Di Piazza, Jr., this decision shows the board is dedicated to exploring every option to maximize value for its shareholders.
Di Piazza, Jr. explained that the Board decided to explore all options to maximize value for shareholders. While they still believe separating the company into two independent media businesses is a good plan, they felt it was important to also consider other possibilities to ensure they’re making the best decision for those who own the company’s stock.
No Set Timeline
Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that the ongoing review of its options doesn’t have a set deadline, and there’s no certainty it will result in any changes. The company will only share updates if its board decides on a specific deal or feels more information needs to be made public.
Allen & Company, J.P. Morgan, and Evercore are providing financial advice, and the law firms Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP are providing legal support.
