The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Friday, Paramount Skydance (PSKY.US) stock price fell. As of press release, the stock had fallen more than 6% to $13.905. According to media reports, the company proposed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD.US) at a price of $30 per share, and Warner Bros. accepted Netflix's (NFLX.US) cash+share purchase plan of $27.75 per share earlier on Friday.

Paramount Skydance previously accused Warner Bros. Exploration of unfair practices in the sale process, favoring Netflix over other bidders.

According to a copy of the letter, Paramount Skydance's legal team raised concerns about the “fairness and sufficiency” of the bidding process in a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, citing reports that Warner Bros. Exploration's management favors Netflix's proposal.

According to the letter, Paramount Skydance, led by David Ellison, has asked Warner Bros. Explore to confirm whether an independent special committee composed of unbiased board members has been formed to evaluate offers and oversee the sale process.
