NOTE: Skydance Media CEO David Ellison is reportedly considering an all-cash bid to acquire National Amusements, the parent company of entertainment giant Paramount Global. With financing from existing investors including The Ellison family, RedBird Capital Partners, and Tencent, Ellison aims to take control of National Amusements and, if successful, explore a merger with Skydance. Talks are in the early stages and may not lead to a deal. Paramount, with a market capitalization of $9.4 billion, has attracted interest amid challenges in the global entertainment industry, and Ellison's bid may signal potential consolidation in the sector.
