**EXPLANATORY NOTE** 

On March 26, 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD") filed a definitive proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 27, 2026 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among WBD, Paramount Skydance Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("PSKY"), and Prince Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PSKY, which provides for the acquisition of WBD by PSKY (the "Merger"). A special meeting of WBD stockholders will be held virtually on April 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and a certain other proposal, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

On April 2, 2026, the complaint (the "Complaint") captioned *Donna Nicosia v. Samuel Di Piazza, Jr. et al.,* Index No. 150851/2026 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Apr. 2, 2026) was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Richmond. The Complaint names as defendants WBD, the members of the WBD board of directors, and PSKY, and alleges, among other things, claims for negligence and negligent misrepresentation for disseminating an allegedly false and misleading proxy statement. The Complaint seeks, among other things, corrective disclosure to the Proxy Statement and to enjoin and/or rescind the WBD stockholder vote on the Merger Agreement.

In addition, as of the date of this filing, WBD has received 15 demand letters from purported stockholders of WBD in connection with the Merger (the "Demand Letters"). The Demand Letters generally allege that the Proxy Statement omitted purportedly material information that rendered it false and misleading or otherwise had disclosure deficiencies in violation of federal securities laws. The Demand Letters demand corrective disclosure to the Proxy Statement.

WBD may receive additional stockholder demand letters and additional complaints related to the Merger may be filed in the future. The outcome of any future litigation is uncertain.

WBD denies the allegations in the Complaint and the Demand Letters and believes that the claims asserted in the Complaint and the Demand Letters are without merit and that no supplemental disclosure is required under applicable laws. However, in order to reduce the burden, inconvenience, expense, risk and disruption of potential litigation, and without admitting liability or wrongdoing, WBD has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement by providing the additional information presented below. Nothing in these supplemental disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality of any supplemental disclosures under applicable laws.

The board of directors of WBD continues to recommend unanimously that you vote "FOR" the proposals being considered at WBD's special meeting of stockholders.

The information contained in this supplement is incorporated by reference into the Proxy Statement. All page references in this supplement are to pages of the Proxy Statement, and all terms used in this supplement, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information in this supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this supplement shall supersede or supplement such information in the Proxy Statement.

**The disclosure in the section entitled "The Merger" is hereby supplemented by adding the following language as a new section immediately following the section entitled "The Merger—Opinions of Allen & Company and J.P. Morgan" ending on page 79 of the Proxy Statement:** 

**Certain Information Regarding Evercore** 

Pursuant to the terms of Evercore's engagement letter with WBD, WBD has agreed to pay Evercore a fee for its services in the amount of $55 million, all of which will be payable contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. Consistent with the terms of such engagement letter, Evercore was not requested to provide, and did not provide, any opinion as to the fairness of the Merger Consideration or any valuation for the purposes of assessing the fairness of the consideration in any proposed transaction. WBD has also agreed to reimburse Evercore for certain of its expenses and to indemnify Evercore against certain liabilities arising out of its engagement. During the two-year period prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, Evercore and its affiliates had provided financial advisory services to WBD unrelated to the Merger and had received fees for the rendering of these services in the amount of approximately $20 million. In addition, during the two-year period prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, Evercore and its affiliates had provided financial advisory services unrelated to the Merger to each of Redbird Capital Partners and National Amusements, Inc. (now known as Harbor Lights Entertainment, Inc.), an affiliate of PSKY, and had received fees for the rendering of these services in the amounts of approximately $1 million and less than $1 million, respectively. Further, during the two-year period prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, Evercore and its affiliates had provided financial advisory services unrelated to the Merger to a company in which Oracle was a significant shareholder and had received fees for the rendering of these services in the amount of approximately $35 million to $40 million. In addition, (i) Evercore and its affiliates are also engaged to provide investment banking advisory, capital markets and/or underwriting services to Redbird Capital Partners and/or its affiliates unrelated to Evercore's engagement with WBD, which could result in fees less than the fees to be received from WBD in connection with Evercore's engagement and (ii) Evercore and/or its affiliates are also having active discussions with Redbird Capital Partners and/or its affiliates to provide investment banking advisory, capital markets and/or underwriting services unrelated to Evercore's engagement with WBD for which Evercore would expect to receive customary fees if Evercore is engaged and the transactions are consummated. During the two-year period prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, Evercore and its affiliates had not been engaged to provide financial advisory or other services to PSKY, Oracle, Lawrence J. Ellison, members of his family or the Ellison Trust and had not received any compensation from any such parties during such period. In addition, Evercore may provide financial advisory or other services to WBD, PSKY, Oracle, Lawrence J. Ellison, members of his family, the Ellison Trust, Redbird Capital Partners and their respective affiliates in the future, and in connection with any such services Evercore may receive compensation.

Evercore and its affiliates engage in a wide range of activities for its and their own accounts and the accounts of customers, including corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, equity sales, trading and research, private equity, placement agent, asset management and related activities. In connection with these businesses or otherwise, Evercore and its affiliates and/or its or their respective employees, as well as investment funds in which any of them may have a financial interest, may at any time, directly or indirectly, hold long or short positions and may trade or otherwise effect transactions for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities, senior loans and/or derivative products or other financial instruments of or relating to WBD or its affiliates, PSKY, Oracle, and their respective affiliates or persons that are competitors, customers or suppliers of WBD. As of the date of the Merger Agreement, Evercore's internal records reflected that Evercore did not own any direct equity interest in WBD, PSKY, Oracle or Redbird Capital Partners, but that one member of the Evercore deal team owned a de minimis amount of WBD Common Stock.

**The disclosure on pages 90 through 91 of the Proxy Statement in the section entitled "The Merger—Interests of WBD's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Compensation Arrangements with PSKY and its Affiliates" is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the full paragraph beginning on page 90 as follows (with new text underlined):** 

***Compensation Arrangements with PSKY and its Affiliates***

As of the date of this proxy statement, none of our executive officers <u>or directors</u> have entered into any definitive agreement with PSKY or any of its affiliates regarding continued employment <u>or directorships</u> with PSKY, the surviving corporation or one or more of their affiliates. <u>Additionally, other than as described in "*—Background of the Merger*," none of PSKY's proposals or indications of interest proposed or contemplated that WBD's executive officers or directors would enter into agreements with PSKY or any of its affiliates (including the surviving corporation) regarding employment or directorships with, or compensation to be received from, PSKY or the surviving corporation following the Closing, nor did any such proposals or indications of interest propose, contemplate or obligate WBD's executive officers or directors to purchase or participate in the equity of the surviving corporation. To the extent PSKY's proposals or indications of interest contemplated continued employment or directorships with PSKY or any of its affiliates (including the surviving corporation) following the Closing for certain of WBD's executive officers or directors, such matters were not considered by the WBD Board and did not result in further discussion with PSKY regarding employment or directorships.</u> Prior to, or following the Effective Time, however, some or all of our executive officers <u>or directors</u> may discuss or enter into definitive agreements (which would take effect on or after the Effective Time) with PSKY or its affiliates regarding employment <u>or directorships</u> with, or the right to receive compensation and benefits from, PSKY or one or more of its affiliates (including the surviving corporation). In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as described in the section below titled "*The Merger Agreement—Certain Employee Matters*," PSKY has agreed that it will cause the surviving corporation to provide, for a period of 12 months following the Effective Time, certain levels of compensation and benefits to each individual who is employed by WBD or any of its subsidiaries as of the Effective Time and continues to be employed with PSKY or any of its subsidiaries as of immediately following the Effective Time.
