<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Paramount&#8217;s offer not only delivers greater value and certainty, but also a much shorter and more certain path to completion. To
underscore our confidence, we have already filed for Hart-Scott-Rodino approval in the United States and announced the case to the European Commission and the UK CMA, opening the path to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-notification</FONT>
discussions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In contrast, we believe Netflix faces a long road through multiple protracted regulatory reviews across the globe, as
its&nbsp;anticompetitive proposed&nbsp;transaction would entrench its dominance with an over 40% combined share of global Subscription Video on Demand subscribers, amongst other issues. </P>

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <P STYLE=" margin-top:0pt ; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman; " ALIGN="left"><B>Netflix has noted they only have <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">7-8%</FONT> of total TV viewing time as
compared to YouTube&#8217;s 13% of U.S.-total viewing time. Warner Bros. Discovery has reported approximately 5%. Does this address any concerns about combining the two companies? </B></P></TD></TR></TABLE>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No. Total TV viewing time is not a relevant metric from an antitrust perspective. Viewing time is relevant in an
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ad-driven</FONT> market. But Netflix generates less than 10% of its revenue from ads. Its real business is video streaming subscriptions. That is what defines its market and where antitrust regulators will focus.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Within the subscription market, consumers choose&nbsp;between Netflix, Amazon+, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV, and HBO Max, among others.
Those are substitutable services all offering premium, long-form TV and films. The competition between these services keeps Netflix from raising its prices too high and keeps Netflix paying fair prices to creators and talent for new TV and film
projects.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">YouTube&#8217;s short-form, user-generated videos are undoubtedly popular, as are TikTok, Instagram, X, Snapchat, Twitch and
video games. But those are not substitutable services for Netflix. They don&#8217;t impose price discipline on Netflix, they don&#8217;t compete to buy TV shows and films against Netflix, and this means that they aren&#8217;t relevant to an
antitrust review of a Netflix acquisition of WBD.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A combined <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Netflix-WBD</FONT> would so dominate
subscription streaming that it would gain the market power to raise prices with little or no fear of losing subscribers, while underpaying creators and talent with little or no fear of those projects going to competitor services. That&#8217;s
exactly the kind of harm antitrust law guards against, which is why we expect regulators in the US and elsewhere will block the proposed deal were it to move forward. </P>

</B></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Global Networks business being spun out is entirely cable with no broadcast network and no significant sports
rights following the loss of its NBA package to Disney, NBC and Amazon. It is an asset on its own that, without our sports, our anchor broadcast network in CBS,&nbsp;and synergies, will decline&nbsp;at a double-digit rate&nbsp;per year.&nbsp;After
accounting for the debt WBD will put on that business, the real value Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders are likely to get&nbsp;is ~$1 per share.&nbsp;By offering to&nbsp;buy all of WBD we are maximizing value&nbsp;for WBD shareholders and
providing&nbsp;them immediate and certain value.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We arrive at $1 per share based on 4.5x Global Networks Wall Street consensus next-twelve
months EBITDA as of 9/30/2026E, and assuming a 50% allocation of corporate costs and intercompany eliminations, with an estimated ~$15&nbsp;billion in net debt. We base the 4.5x valuation multiple&nbsp;on analyst estimates who perform a &#8220;sum
of the parts&#8221; analysis on WBD. It is also within the range&nbsp;of Wall Street&#8217;s expected multiple for Versant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It should be
noted that Versant is not yet a public company &#8211; regular way trading will begin on January&nbsp;5, 2026. And while we believe it is a good comp for Global Networks, Global Networks should trade at a material discount to Versant given: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1) Versant will be significantly less leveraged (~1.25x net leverage for Versant vs. &gt;3x for Global Networks); </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2) Versant&#8217;s live news and sports portfolio, which we believe is the highest value category in Pay TV, far outpaces Global Networks, with
live news and sports accounting for ~62% of Versant&#8217;s audience vs. ~20% for WBD; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3) a large portion of Versant&#8217;s business is
in digital, higher growth assets (e.g., Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, and Fandango), whereas Global Networks&#8217; only major digital asset is Bleacher Report; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">4) Versant is much less weighted toward lower value lifestyle and reality content that Global Networks specializes in (e.g., HGTV, Food
Network, TLC, Discovery Channel). </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

one that supports Hollywood and creatives, benefits consumers, encourages competition, and strengthens the overall job market. While some redundancies may occur, they are not the driving force behind our efficiency efforts.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you look at the Paramount/Skydance merger, the vast majority of synergies have been achieved through operational
efficiencies,&nbsp;not&nbsp;layoffs &#8211; by eliminating backend functions, consolidating systems, optimizing real estate holdings, and improving <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">front-end</FONT> workflows. We anticipate this will be the same if
we combine with Warner Bros. Discovery. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our content savings estimate reflects only a &lt;10% reduction of combined spend, none of which is
derived from film/TV studios. As we have mentioned several times, we do not plan to reduce theatrical output &#8211; we intend to grow our combined (Paramount/WBD) slate to over 30 films each year. Instead, we expect to make smarter decisions about
licensing across linear networks and streaming. On a combined basis, we still expect to lead the industry in content spending (~$35&nbsp;billion annually vs. Netflix&#8217;s publicly announced expectation of ~$18&nbsp;billion for 2025).

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The equity backstop &#8211; an underwriting structure ubiquitous in finance &#8211; guarantees the financing is available at closing because it
is backed by more than $250&nbsp;billion of assets in Larry Ellison&#8217;s trust.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Ellison family trust, which contains over
$250&nbsp;billion of assets (more than 6x the equity funding commitment) including approximately 1.16&nbsp;billion Oracle shares and tens of billions of dollars in other assets. This information is publicly available; and, notably, the trust has
been a counterparty in other completed public company transactions including for Twitter, which involved one of WBD&#8217;s advisors. In fact, the equity commitment papers submitted to WBD were identical in all material respects to commitments that
the advisors to WBD had agreed to in other large transactions such as Twitter and Electronic Arts. </P>
