LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ: PSKY) (“Paramount”) today announced the extension of the Expiration Dates in connection with the previously announced (i) offers to purchase (the “Tender Offers” and each, a “Tender Offer”) for cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the related offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”), any and all of the identified notes in each series of the Existing Tender Offer Notes (defined by reference to the table set forth below) issued by Discovery Global Holdings, Inc. (formerly WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc.) (the “DGH Issuer”) and Discovery Communications, LLC (the “DCL Issuer” and together with the DGH Issuer, each a “WBD Issuer” and collectively the “WBD Issuers”), as applicable, and (ii) offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers” and each, an “Exchange Offer” and, together with the Tender Offers, the “Offers” and each, an “Offer”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the related exchange offer memorandum (the “Offering Memorandum”), any and all of the identified notes in each series of the Existing Exchange Offer Notes (defined by reference to the table set forth below) (together with the Existing Tender Offer Notes, the “Offer Notes”) issued by the applicable WBD Issuer for notes to be newly issued by Paramount.
The Expiration Dates for the Tender Offers and Exchange Offers (as defined in each of the Offer to Purchase and Offering Memorandum, respectively) have been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2026, unless further extended. The Settlement Dates for the Tender Offers and Exchange Offers (as defined in each of the Offer to Purchase and Offering Memorandum, respectively) will occur promptly after the Expiration Date and are currently anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2026. Paramount anticipates extending the Expiration Date for such Tender Offers and Exchange Offers until such time that would result in the Settlement Dates occurring on or promptly following the closing date of the proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by Paramount of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“WBD”). Tenders of the Offer Notes in the Offers may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The aforementioned extensions further extend the Expiration Dates previously extended by Paramount on June 12, 2026, June 26, 2026, July 13, 2026, and July 17, 2026.
As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 23, 2026, approximately 66.17% and 76.38% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Tender Offer Notes and Existing Exchange Offer Notes, respectively, have been validly tendered in the applicable Offers. As Paramount previously announced that it anticipates extending the Offers to align with the closing date of the Acquisition, Paramount does not view these figures to be representative of the final results of the applicable Offers.

The Exchange Offers are being made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder, and are also not being registered under any state or foreign securities laws.

The Exchange Offers will only be made, and the securities offered pursuant to the Exchange Offers are only being offered and issued, to holders of applicable Existing Exchange Offer Notes who are (a) reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b) not “U.S. persons,” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act (such holders, “Eligible Holders”), and only Eligible Holders who have completed and returned the eligibility certification are authorized to receive or review the Offering Memorandum or to participate in the Exchange Offers.

General
Each Offer is a separate offer, and each may be individually consummated, amended, extended, terminated, or withdrawn, subject to certain conditions and applicable law, at any time in Paramount’s sole discretion, and without also consummating, amending, extending, terminating, or withdrawing any other Offer with respect to any other series of Offer Notes. Paramount may terminate an Offer if any of the conditions of such Offer described in the Offer to Purchase or Offering Memorandum, as applicable, are not satisfied or waived by the applicable Expiration Date, subject to applicable law. In addition, Paramount may waive the conditions to an Offer without extending such Offer in accordance with applicable law.
The Offers are being made solely by Paramount and are not being made by WBD or the WBD Issuers. None of Paramount, WBD, the WBD Issuers, the Dealer Managers, the Exchange Agent (as defined below), the Information Agent (as defined below), the trustees under each of the indentures governing the Offer Notes, the trustee or collateral agent under the indenture that will govern the notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers, or any affiliate of any of them makes any recommendation as to whether any holder of Offer Notes should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of such holder’s Offer Notes for cash or notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers. No one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders must make their own decision whether to tender Offer Notes in any Offer and, if so, the amount of Offer Notes to tender.
Only Eligible Holders may receive a copy of the Offering Memorandum and participate in the Exchange Offers. Paramount has engaged Global Bondholder Services Corporation to act as the exchange agent (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”) and information agent (in such capacity, the “Information Agent”) for the Offers.
