AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Netflix (NFLX)

Netflix amends Warner Bros. Discovery deal to all-cash, $27.75 per share

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery amended their pending merger agreement so that the $27.75 per share consideration will be paid entirely in cash instead of a mix of cash and Netflix stock. The companies say the change gives WBD stockholders more certainty of value and speeds the path to a stockholder vote, which they expect by April 2026.

Key points

  • Merger consideration of $27.75 per WBD share is now fully cash, versus a prior mix of cash and Netflix common stock
  • WBD stockholder vote expected by April 2026; WBD filed a preliminary proxy statement on January 20, 2026
  • Specified Amount of SpinCo net debt set at $17.0 billion as of June 30, 2026, reduced by $260 million from the original agreement
  • Closing remains subject to the Discovery Global separation, regulatory approvals and WBD stockholder approval
