Paramount's proposal is superior to Netflix's and warrants the attention of WBD's shareholders & board Paramount's proposal to WBD shareholders is superior to Netflix's. WBD's rejection of Paramount's proposal is not in the best interest of shareholders. • Paramount's proposal provides greater value and certainty to WBD shareholders than Netflix's 1 - Paramount proposal: $30.00 per share, 100% in cash; +$6.75 per share or approximately $18 billion greater cash consideration - Netflix proposal: $23.25 per share in cash, $4.50 in Netflix stock (subject to change based on price movement outside of collar), and stock with uncertain value in WBD's Global Networks business 2 - Paramount's proposal provides a clear and fast path to regulatory approval, while Netflix's proposal is likely to face a significantly longer period of regulatory scrutiny and may never close • Paramount's latest proposal, which addressed all feedback from WBD's management and advisors on Paramount's prior proposal, received no response from WBD 3 - Paramount's proposal of $30 per share is backstopped by fully committed equity financing from the Ellison Family Trust and RedBird Capital Partners and debt financing from Bank of America, Citi, and Apollo - Paramount's proposal submitted on Dec. 4 addressed all feedback from WBD's management and advisors on Paramount's prior proposal, yet did not receive a response; Netflix deal was announced the following morning WBD shareholders deserve to be presented with Paramount's proposal. WBD's insufficient review of Paramount's proposal is detrimental to shareholders, presenting them with a less valuable, less certain proposal from Netflix. Source: Netflix / Warner Bros.

Key questions WBD shareholders should be asking Did WBD thoroughly review PSKY's fully backstopped, $30 per share, all-cash offer given the lack of 1 outreach? If so, why did WBD agree to Netflix's proposal with lower economic value and less certainty? 2 What value is WBD attributing to the remaining Global Networks equity that shareholders would 3 receive? What supports the view that Netflix can clear regulatory hurdles in a reasonable time frame, or at 4 all? Given DOJ skepticism and bipartisan antitrust concerns, is this realistic? Was the sale process fair and robust? Did it serve shareholders' best interests? 5 What We Are Asking WBD Shareholders To Do Tender Your Shares in PSKY's Tender Offer 11 11
