Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 27, 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WBD”), Paramount Skydance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PSKY”), and Prince Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PSKY (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions therein, at the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub will merge with and into WBD, with WBD surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PSKY (the “Merger”).
The boards of directors of WBD and PSKY have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, and the board of directors of WBD has resolved to recommend that WBD’s stockholders approve the Merger and adopt the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement
Effect on Capital Stock
At the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “WBD Common Stock”), of WBD issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of WBD Common Stock to be canceled for no consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement or as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $31.00, without interest, plus, if the date on which the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) occurs (the “Closing Date”) is after September 30, 2026, the Ticking Consideration (the “Merger Consideration”). The “Ticking Consideration” will be an amount in cash equal to $0.00277778 multiplied by the number of calendar days elapsed after September 30, 2026 to and including the Closing Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not exceed $0.25 per 90 calendar day period).
Treatment of Equity Awards
At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of WBD Common Stock granted under any WBD stock plan (a “WBD Option”) that is (x) by its terms vested as of the Effective Time or (y) held by a former employee or service provider of WBD (each, a “Vested WBD Option”) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price for such Vested WBD Option by (ii) the total number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to such Vested WBD Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.
At the Effective Time, each WBD Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not a Vested WBD Option (an “Unvested WBD Option”) with an exercise price per share of WBD Common Stock that is less than the Merger Consideration will be assumed by PSKY and automatically converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price for such Unvested WBD Option, by (ii) the total number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to such Unvested WBD Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Unvested WBD Option Consideration”), with such Unvested WBD Option Consideration remaining subject to the same terms and conditions (including any applicable terms relating to accelerated vesting upon qualifying terminations of employment and timing and form of payment) that applied to the corresponding Unvested WBD Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or for other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of PSKY are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested WBD Option Consideration amounts and are not adverse to the holders) with respect to receipt of the Unvested WBD Option Consideration.
At the Effective Time, each WBD Option with an exercise price per share of WBD Common Stock that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be canceled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.
At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units corresponding to shares of WBD Common Stock granted pursuant to any WBD stock plan, including performance restricted stock units (a “WBD RSU”) that is
-2-

vested in accordance with its terms as of the Effective Time or that is held by a non-employee member of the board of directors of WBD (each, a “Vested WBD RSU”), will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each share of WBD Common Stock underlying such Vested WBD RSU, with the number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to such Vested WBD RSU granted with performance-based vesting conditions determined based on the attainment of the applicable performance measures at the actual level of performance by the board of directors of WBD or a committee thereof in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice.
At the Effective Time, each WBD RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not a Vested WBD RSU (each, an “Unvested WBD RSU”) will be assumed by PSKY and automatically converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to such Unvested WBD RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Unvested WBD RSU Consideration”), with such Unvested WBD RSU Consideration remaining subject to the same terms and conditions (including any applicable terms relating to accelerated vesting upon qualifying terminations of employment and timing and form of payment) that applied to the corresponding Unvested WBD RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or for other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of PSKY are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested WBD RSU Consideration amounts and are not adverse to the holders) with respect to receipt of the Unvested WBD RSU Consideration.
At the Effective Time, the total number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to each Unvested WBD RSU with performance-based vesting conditions will be determined by assuming (i) in respect of such Unvested WBD RSUs for which the applicable performance period has been completed prior to the Effective Time, actual performance, and (ii) in respect of such Unvested WBD RSUs for which the applicable performance period has not been completed prior to the Effective Time, achievement at the greater of (x) target performance and (y) actual performance extrapolated through the end of the applicable performance period based on actual performance through the Closing Date, determined by the board of directors of WBD or a committee thereof in good faith and consistent with past practice.
At the Effective Time, each deferred stock unit of WBD (a “WBD DSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by PSKY and automatically converted into a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Merger Consideration by (B) the number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to such WBD DSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “WBD DSU Consideration”), with such WBD DSU Consideration remaining subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the corresponding WBD DSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to timing of payment).
At the Effective Time, each notional investment unit with respect to shares of WBD Common Stock (a “WBD Notional Unit”) subject to WBD’s Non-Employee Directors Deferral Plan and WBD’s Supplemental Retirement Plan (each, a “WBD DC Plan”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by PSKY and automatically converted into a notional unit with respect to a number of shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“PSKY Class B Common Stock”), of PSKY (a “PSKY Notional Unit”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (as defined below) by (B) the number of shares of WBD Common Stock subject to such WBD Notional Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, with each such PSKY Notional Unit remaining subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the corresponding WBD Notional Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to timing and form of payment), as set forth in the applicable WBD DC Plan. The “Equity Award Exchange Ratio” is determined by dividing (i) the Merger Consideration by (ii) the per share volume-weighted average trading price of PSKY Class B Common Stock for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is three trading days prior to the Closing Date.
Representation and Warranties; Certain Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of both WBD, on the one hand, and PSKY and Merger Sub, on the other hand, in each case generally subject to materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of WBD, including covenants relating to
-3-

conducting its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions without PSKY’s consent, covenants not to solicit proposals relating to alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning or provide information in connection with such alternative transactions and, subject to certain exceptions, covenants to recommend that WBD’s stockholders approve the Merger and adopt the Merger Agreement (such recommendation, the “WBD Recommendation”). The Merger Agreement also provides that, until the earliest of the Effective Time, June 4, 2027 (if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances) and the termination of the Merger Agreement (if the Merger Agreement is terminated in all other circumstances), PSKY and its affiliates and representatives will be subject to a standstill and will not, among other things, effect or seek to effect (i) any acquisition of securities of WBD, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving WBD, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to WBD or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any securities of WBD or the calling of a meeting of WBD’s stockholders or the initiation of any proposal for action by WBD’s stockholders, in each case, except as set forth in the Merger Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby.
With respect certain of the outstanding senior notes issued by certain subsidiaries of WBD, the Merger Agreement provides that, prior to October 15, 2026, PSKY may deliver one formal request (a “Specified Request”) in writing to WBD requesting that WBD either, subject to certain exceptions, (i) commence and use reasonable best efforts to effectuate a consent solicitation (on terms mutually determined by PSKY and WBD in good faith) to eliminate the obligation to commence an Exchange Offer (as defined in WBD’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of June 9, 2025 (the “Offer to Purchase”)) for such outstanding senior notes or otherwise modify the required terms of such Exchange Offer, (ii) commence and use reasonable best efforts to effectuate an Exchange Offer for such outstanding senior notes (on terms mutually determined by PSKY and WBD in good faith, subject to certain conditions) or (iii) make a payment in the amount of $100 per $1,000 principal amount or €100 per €1,000 principal amount of such outstanding senior notes in lieu of effectuating an Exchange Offer for such outstanding senior notes, as contemplated by the Offer to Purchase (the “Amended Notes Payment Amount”); provided that, if the Amended Notes Payment Amount becomes due and payable pursuant to the above, PSKY shall timely and fully pay such amount (such amount not to exceed $1,528,000,000 in the aggregate).
If PSKY does not make a Specified Request by October 15, 2026, WBD may, after such date, commence one or more consent solicitations with respect to the outstanding senior notes or commence an Exchange Offer for such outstanding senior notes, in each case, on terms determined by WBD in its sole discretion, or pay the Amended Notes Payment Amount; provided that, if the Amended Notes Payment Amount becomes due and payable pursuant to the above, PSKY shall timely and fully pay such amount (subject to the aggregate limit described above).
Prior to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by WBD’s stockholders, the board of directors of WBD may, in response to an unsolicited third-party acquisition proposal received after the date of the Merger Agreement, withdraw, qualify, modify or propose publicly to do the foregoing with respect to the WBD Recommendation, or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable a Company Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or cause WBD to terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to complying with notice requirements and other specified processes in the Merger Agreement, including giving PSKY the opportunity to propose revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement during a match right period, and paying PSKY the Company Termination Fee (as defined below) prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination.
WBD and PSKY have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to consummate the Merger as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, including to obtain the required regulatory approvals for the Merger, and PSKY has agreed, if required to resolve or eliminate any impediments or objections that may be asserted with respect to the Merger, to certain commitments relating thereto.
Closing Conditions
Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of WBD Common Stock entitled to vote (the “WBD Stockholder Approval”) at a meeting of WBD’s stockholders duly called and held for such purpose (the “WBD Stockholder Meeting”), (ii) the expiration of certain mandatory waiting periods or receipt of certain clearances or
-4-

affirmative approvals of certain governmental bodies, agencies or authorities and (iii) the absence of any law or order, issued by a court or governmental entity of competent jurisdiction, restraining, enjoining, prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the Merger. Each of WBD’s and PSKY’s obligations to consummate the Merger is also subject to certain other conditions, including, among others, the compliance with pre-closing covenants by and accuracy of the representations and warranties of WBD (on the part of PSKY), on the one hand, and PSKY and Merger Sub (on the part of WBD), on the other hand (in each case, subject to certain qualifications). PSKY’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to (x) the absence of certain changes that have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect with respect to the Streaming and Studios segments of WBD and (y) WBD not having completed the separation of its Streaming & Studios business from its Global Linear Networks business nor having declared or made any dividend to WBD’s stockholders to effectuate such separation.
Financing Arrangements
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of (i) The Lawrence J. Ellison Revocable Trust, u/a/d 1/22/88, as amended (the “Trust”), and Mr. Lawrence J. Ellison (together with the Trust, the “Ellison Parties”) and (ii) RedBird Capital Partners Fund IV (Master), L.P. (“RedBird” and, together with the Trust, the “Equity Investors”) entered into subscription agreements to purchase shares of PSKY Class B Common Stock in an aggregate amount of up to $46,720,000,000 by the Trust (plus any Ticking Consideration, plus any Contingent Equity Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and plus any Amended Notes Payment Amount) and $250,000,000 by RedBird (collectively, the “PIPE Investments”), pursuant to the terms of the applicable subscription agreement. The Equity Investors are permitted to assign rights in the subscribed shares under such subscription agreements, subject to a requirement to give WBD notice, including the identity of the assignee and material terms thereof, and a requirement that WBD consent to any such assignment that would, or could reasonably be expected to, among other things, prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of PSKY to consummate the Merger and the related transactions in a timely manner or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.
The aggregate proceeds of the PIPE Investments, together with the proceeds from a debt commitment letter received by PSKY from certain lender parties thereto, will provide PSKY with the funds needed to consummate the Merger. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.
Termination Rights and Fees
The Merger Agreement also provides for certain mutual termination rights. Subject to certain limitations, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either PSKY or WBD (i) by mutual written consent, (ii) if the WBD Stockholder Meeting concludes without obtaining the WBD Stockholder Approval, (iii) if any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction issues, enacts, enforces or enters any order permanently enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, and such order becomes final and non-appealable or (iv) subject to certain limitations, if the Effective Time has not occurred on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on March 4, 2027 (the “End Date”), subject to one automatic extension to June 4, 2027 if, on such date, all of the closing conditions, except those related to regulatory approvals and governmental orders, have been satisfied or waived. In addition, (x) the Merger Agreement may be terminated by PSKY (1) due to certain breaches by WBD of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain cure rights, or (2) if prior to the WBD Stockholder Meeting, the board of directors of WBD effects a change in the WBD Recommendation, and (y) the Merger Agreement may be terminated by WBD (1) due to certain breaches by PSKY of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain cure rights or (2) if prior to the WBD Stockholder Meeting, WBD determines to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Company Superior Proposal.
If, prior to receipt of WBD Stockholder Approval, (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated by WBD in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Company Superior Proposal, (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated by PSKY because the board of directors of WBD has changed its recommendation that WBD stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, (iii) the Merger Agreement is terminated by PSKY or WBD as a result of the WBD Stockholder Approval having not been obtained and, immediately prior to the WBD Stockholder Meeting, PSKY would have been entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement because the board of directors of WBD has changed its recommendation that WBD stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement or (iv) (x) after the date of the Merger Agreement, an acquisition proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed prior to the WBD Stockholder
-5-

Meeting (a “WBD Qualifying Transaction”), (y) the Merger Agreement is terminated (1) by PSKY or WBD as a result of the WBD Stockholder Approval having not been obtained or (2) by PSKY as a result of a willful breach by WBD of its covenants in the Merger Agreement and (z) concurrently with or within twelve (12) months after such termination, WBD (1) consummates a WBD Qualifying Transaction or (2) enters into a definitive agreement providing for a WBD Qualifying Transaction, then WBD will be obligated to pay PSKY a fee equal to $3,000,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”).
If the Merger Agreement is terminated by WBD or PSKY (i) if the Effective Time has not occurred prior to the End Date due to the closing conditions related to regulatory approvals and governmental orders not being satisfied, but all other closing conditions have been satisfied or waived (or have not been satisfied due to a breach by PSKY or Merger Sub of their obligations under the Merger Agreement) or (ii) due to an antitrust or foreign regulatory injunction permanently prohibiting the closing of the Merger, then PSKY will be obligated to pay WBD a termination fee equal to $7,000,000,000 in cash (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”).
Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which WBD is required to pay the Company Termination Fee or due to certain breaches by WBD of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain cure rights, WBD will, in addition to the Company Termination Fee, be obligated to reimburse PSKY for (i) any Amended Notes Payment Amount paid by PSKY and (ii) the Netflix Termination Fee (as defined below).
The Merger Agreement also provides that each party may seek to compel the other parties to specifically perform their obligations under the Merger Agreement.
Ellison Guarantee
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Ellison Parties entered into a Guarantee in favor of WBD (the “Ellison Guarantee”), to jointly and severally guarantee the payment of the (i) Netflix Termination Fee, (ii) the Amended Notes Payment Amount, (iii) $45,720,000,000 of the Merger Consideration, plus the Contingent Equity Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (to the extent applicable), (iv) all damages payable by PSKY, Merger Sub or the Ellison Parties due to a breach of the Merger Agreement or the subscription agreement entered into by the Ellison Parties or the fraud of PSKY, Merger Sub or the Ellison Parties with respect to the Merger Agreement or the subscription agreement entered into by the Ellison Parties, (v) the Regulatory Termination Fee and (vi) certain other costs and expenses payable under the Merger Agreement. The Ellison Guarantee requires that the Ellison Parties will, and will cause their controlled affiliates (other than Oracle Corporation, Ellison Institute of Technology or any of the respective controlled affiliates of Oracle Corporation or Ellison Institute of Technology) to, among other things, (w) use reasonable best efforts to obtain certain required regulatory approvals, (x) furnish WBD with reasonable assistance in connection with governmental approvals, (y) defend through litigation on the merits (including through appeal) any claim seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (z) not take certain actions, including acquisitions, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger and the related transactions, or propose, announce an intention, or enter into any agreements or commitments to take such actions. The Ellison Guarantee includes certain representations and warranties by the Ellison Parties, including regarding financial capability and validity of the Trust, as well as certain covenants restricting the Ellison Parties from taking actions that would adversely affect their ability to perform their obligations under the Ellison Guarantee.
Description of Merger Agreement and Ellison Guarantee Not Complete
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Ellison Guarantee, and the respective transactions contemplated thereby, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the full text of the Ellison Guarantee, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and, in each case, are incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement and the Ellison Guarantee have been included to provide investors with information regarding their respective terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about WBD, PSKY, Merger Sub or the Ellison Parties. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the
-6-

Merger Agreement and the Ellison Guarantee, as applicable, were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and the Ellison Guarantee, as applicable, as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Ellison Guarantee, as applicable, and the parties expressly identified as third-party beneficiaries thereto, as applicable (except as expressly provided therein), are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including, in the case of the Merger Agreement, being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Except as expressly provided in the Merger Agreement and the Ellison Guarantee, as applicable, stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under such agreements and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements therein or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement or the Ellison Guarantee, as applicable, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in WBD’s and PSKY’s respective public disclosures.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, WBD entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger on January 19, 2026 (the “Netflix Merger Agreement”) with Netflix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Netflix”), Nightingale Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Netflix, and New Topco 25, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of WBD.
Following the WBD board of directors’ determination that it had received a “Company Superior Proposal,” as defined in the Netflix Merger Agreement, from PSKY, and Netflix’s waiver of its right to propose revisions to the Netflix Merger Agreement, on February 27, 2026, prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, WBD delivered to Netflix a written notice terminating the Netflix Merger Agreement in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Netflix Merger Agreement, PSKY, on behalf of WBD, paid Netflix a termination fee of $2,800,000,000 in cash as required by the terms of the Netflix Merger Agreement (the “Netflix Termination Fee”). PSKY’s payment of the Netflix Termination Fee is in addition to the Merger Consideration to be paid by PSKY pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, WBD hereby withdraws the previously filed and mailed definitive proxy statement with respect to the Netflix Merger Agreement and WBD’s special meeting of stockholders, which was scheduled to be held on March 20, 2026, has been canceled.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 27, 2026, WBD and PSKY issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement, the termination of the Netflix Merger Agreement and the termination of PSKY’s tender offer for all of the outstanding WBD Common Stock. The full text of the joint press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished under Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 9, 2025, WBD announced its plans to separate WBD, in a tax-free transaction, into two publicly traded companies. Consummation of the Merger is subject to, among other conditions described above, WBD not having completed such separation, and, accordingly, WBD no longer plans to effectuate such separation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as set forth herein. ARTICLE I THE MERGER Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Buyer. The Merger shall have the effects provided in this Agreement and as specified in the DGCL. Section 1.2 Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, remotely via electronic exchange of documents and signatures, no later than the second Business Day (the “Specified Date”) following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (except for any conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions or waiver by the Party entitled to waive such conditions), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Buyer and the Company (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”). Section 1.3 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed and acknowledged in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as Buyer and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”). Section 1.4 The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit A and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter duly amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. Section 1.5 The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that

-4- references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced by references to the Surviving Corporation’s name, until thereafter duly amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. Section 1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, incapacity or removal: (i) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation. Section 1.7 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement. ARTICLE II EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK Section 2.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Company and Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub or any other Person: (a) All shares of Company Stock that are owned, directly or indirectly, by Buyer, the Company (including shares held as treasury stock or otherwise) or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. (b) Each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares (i) to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(a), and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 2.3) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to the provisions of this Article II. (c) All shares of Company Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of (i) a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Stock (a “Certificate”) or (ii) shares of Company Stock held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except (subject to Section 2.3) the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2. (d) Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly

-5- issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Section 2.2 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (a) the Effective Time and (b) any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, the outstanding shares of Company Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split- up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, then the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide Buyer and the holders of Company Stock (including Company Options exercisable for Company Stock) the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement. Section 2.3 Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)) and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1, but rather shall be canceled and the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment by the Surviving Corporation of the “fair value” of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the “fair value” of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1. The Company shall provide prompt notice to Buyer of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL received by the Company. Buyer shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. ARTICLE III DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION; PROCEDURES FOR SURRENDER Section 3.1 Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall enter into a customary payment agreement with a nationally recognized bank or trust company designated by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”). Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall provide or shall cause to be provided to the Paying Agent cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent

-6- shall pay the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. Except as provided in Section 3.7, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Section 3.2 Exchange Procedures. (a) Certificates. Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Closing Date, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares of Company Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), (x) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Buyer, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to pay in exchange therefor as promptly as practicable, cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any amount payable upon surrender of any Certificate. (b) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one (1) or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Company Stock were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Book- Entry Shares, and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any amount payable upon conversion of any Book-Entry Shares. Section 3.3 Full Satisfaction. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon the surrender of the Certificates (or immediately, in the case of the Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of

-7- Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Stock or any Book- Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III. Section 3.4 Undistributed Exchange Funds. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Stock for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration. Section 3.5 Abandoned Property, Escheat or Similar Laws. None of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Section 3.6 Lost Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Buyer or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable and customary amount as Buyer or the Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration. Section 3.7 Investment of Exchange Funds. The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Buyer; provided, however, that no investment interest or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Stock. Any interest or gains resulting from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Buyer payable to Buyer upon its request, and no part of such interest or gains shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Stock; provided, further, that any investment of the Exchange Fund shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). If for any reason (including investment losses) the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Paying Agent hereunder, Buyer shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such payment obligations.

-8- Section 3.8 Treatment of Company Equity Awards. (a) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holders thereof, the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub: (i) Company Options. (A) Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is (x) vested in accordance with all applicable terms as of the Effective Time or (y) that is held by a former employee or service provider of the Company (each, a “Vested Company Option”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price for such Vested Company Option, by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Vested Company Option Consideration”); provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of Company Stock of such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. (B) Each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not a Vested Company Option (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Buyer and automatically converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price for such Unvested Company Option, by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Unvested Company Option Consideration”); provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of Company Stock of such Unvested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Unvested Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. Subject to the holder’s Continued Service through the applicable vesting dates, such Unvested Company Option Consideration shall vest and become payable at the same time as the Unvested Company Option from which such Unvested Company Option Consideration was converted would have vested and become exercisable pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions (including any applicable terms relating to accelerated vesting upon qualifying terminations of employment and timing and form of payment) as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Buyer are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company Option Consideration amounts and are not adverse to such holders) with respect to their receipt of the Unvested Company Option Consideration. (ii) Company RSUs.

-9- (A) Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is vested in accordance with all applicable terms as of the Effective Time or that is held by a non-employee member of the Company Board (each, a “Vested Company RSU”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Stock underlying such Vested Company RSU pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (the “Vested Company RSU Consideration”). (B) Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not a Vested Company RSU (each, an “Unvested Company RSU”) shall be assumed by Buyer and automatically converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the product of (i) the Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Unvested Company RSU Consideration”). Subject to the holder’s Continued Service through the applicable vesting dates, such Unvested Company RSU Consideration shall vest and become payable at the same time as the Unvested Company RSU from which such Unvested Company RSU Consideration was converted would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions (including any applicable terms relating to accelerated vesting upon qualifying terminations of employment and timing and form of payment) as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Buyer are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company RSU Consideration amounts and are not adverse to such holders) with respect to their receipt of the Unvested Company RSU Consideration. (iii) Company PRSUs.

Each such Buyer Notional Unit as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company Notional Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to timing and form of payment), as set forth in the applicable Company DC Plan.

Prior to the Effective Time, each Party will exercise, consistent with the terms

-43- and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations. Section 6.2 No Solicitation. (a) The Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers and directors will not, and the Company will direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making of any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (including by granting any waiver under Section 203 of the DGCL) or engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect thereto (except solely to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.2), or disclose any nonpublic information or afford access to properties, books or records to any Person that has made, or to the Company’s Knowledge is considering making, any Acquisition Proposal, or agree to, approve or recommend, or propose to agree to, approve or recommend, or execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, option agreement, acquisition agreement or any other agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or propose publicly or agree to do any of the foregoing relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement as permitted herein). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure if, in the case of this clause (ii), in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law. The Company shall be permitted to make any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act and comply with disclosure obligations under Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, and any such communication or compliance shall not be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation; provided, that any such compliance shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the first sentence of Section 6.2(b), prior to (but not after) obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may, directly or indirectly through its advisors, agents or other intermediaries, (A) furnish information and access, but only in response to a request for information or access, to any Person, and its Representatives (including sources of financing), making a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board after the date of this Agreement which was not obtained as a result of a material breach of this Section 6.2 and (B) participate in discussions and negotiate with such Person or its Representatives concerning any such unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, if and only if, in any such case set forth in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence, (1) the Company Board determines in good faith, (x) after consulting with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Proposal and (y) that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law and (2) the Company receives (or prior to the date hereof has received) from the Person making such an Acquisition Proposal, prior to engaging in any of the

-44- activities described in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence, an executed confidentiality agreement the terms of which are (without regard to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal) in all material respects (i) no less favorable to the Company and (ii) no less restrictive to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain any “standstill” or similar provisions or otherwise prohibit the making of any Acquisition Proposal; provided that if any such confidentiality agreement does not contain a “standstill” or similar provisions, or contains such provisions that are more favorable to such other Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically (and permanently) amended hereby and without further action of the parties to delete the standstill provision contained therein or conform the provision thereof with such more favorable provision as applicable). The Company agrees that any material non-public information provided to such Person that has not previously been provided to Buyer shall be provided to Buyer prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person. The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) unless the Company shall have first delivered to Buyer written notice advising Buyer that the Company intends to take such action; provided that only one such notice need be given with respect to any specific Acquisition Proposal, including any amendment or modification of any such Acquisition Proposal; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.3(b). (b) In the event that on or after the date of this Agreement, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or request regarding an Acquisition Proposal or request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company by any Person that has made, or has informed the Company it is considering making, an Acquisition Proposal (or any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal), in each case, whether orally or in writing, the Company will (i) promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after a director or senior executive officer of the Company becomes aware of such an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal) notify (which notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and set forth the material terms thereof) Buyer thereof, (ii) keep Buyer reasonably and promptly informed of any material amendments or other material modifications to such Acquisition Proposal and material developments regarding the status or terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or request, and (iii) as promptly as practicable after the receipt or delivery thereof (but in no event later than twenty- four (24) hours after a director or senior executive officer of the Company becomes aware of receipt) provide to Buyer a correct and complete copy of such Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including unredacted copies of all material written correspondence and other material written materials sent by or provided to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives that describe any terms or conditions thereof, including any proposed transaction agreements. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company (x) shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers and directors to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all discussions and

-45- negotiations, if any, that have taken place prior to the date of this Agreement with any Persons with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or the possibility thereof, (y) shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) request each Person, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the nine (9) months prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of it or any of its Subsidiaries and (z) immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access for such Person and their representatives to diligence or other information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not modify, amend or terminate, or waive, release or assign, any provisions of any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or any similar agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to any such Acquisition Proposal and shall enforce the provisions of any such agreement in accordance with its terms; provided that the Company shall be permitted on a confidential basis, upon written request by a relevant party thereto and without prior notice to Buyer disclosing the party and the circumstances, to release or waive any standstill obligations to the extent necessary to permit the party referred therein to submit an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board on a confidential basis; provided that the Company Board has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that failing to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) provide written notice to Buyer of any waiver or release of any standstill by the Company. (c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any proposal, offer or indication of interest, from any Person or group of Persons, other than Buyer and its Affiliates, with respect to a merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, spin-off, extraordinary dividend, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is structured to result in such Person or group of Persons (or their stockholders), directly or indirectly, acquiring beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated total assets (including equity securities of the Company’s Subsidiaries), net income or net revenue or 20% or more of any class of the Company’s equity interests and (ii) any acquisition by any Person or group of Persons (or their stockholders) (other than Buyer and its Subsidiaries) resulting in, or proposal or offer, which if consummated would result in, any Person or group of Persons (or their stockholders) (other than Buyer and its Subsidiaries) obtaining control (through Contract or otherwise) over or becoming the beneficial owner of, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, 20% or more of the total voting power of any class of equity securities of the Company or 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated total assets (including equity securities of the Company’s Subsidiaries), net income or net revenue, in each case other than the Transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that would result in a Person or group (or their stockholders) becoming, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, net income or net revenue or more than 50% of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company or the successor Person of the Company, that the Company Board has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors and taking into account all the terms and conditions of such

-46- Acquisition Proposal, is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Transactions (after taking into account all relevant factors, including likelihood of consummation on the terms proposed and all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of such proposal, as well as any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i)). Section 6.3 Company Stockholder Meeting; Proxy Material. (a) Except as permitted by Section 6.3(b) below, the Company Board shall recommend adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, and unless permitted by Section 6.3(b), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Buyer, the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the Company Recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) if an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly disclosed after the date of this Agreement, fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days of a written request of Buyer, or (iv) fail to recommend against a tender or exchange offer related to an Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement thereof (any of the foregoing, a “Change in the Company Recommendation”). For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in the Company Recommendation shall also include any failure by the Company to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. (b) (i) The Company Board shall be permitted, in response to an Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from any material breach of Section 6.2) received after the date of this Agreement, to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation, or to cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) (so long as, prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, the Company pays to Buyer the Company Termination Fee), in each case, only if and to the extent that all of the following conditions are met: (A) the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained; (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and that failing to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law; (C) before taking any such action, the Company promptly gives Buyer written notice advising Buyer of the decision of the Company Board to take such action (a “Superior Proposal Notice”), including the reasons therefor and specifying the material terms and conditions of the applicable Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and a copy of any then-existing drafts of the definitive agreements providing for such Company Superior Proposal (and the Company will also promptly give Buyer such a notice with respect to any subsequent change in such proposal) and the Company has given Buyer at least four (4) Business Days (as modified, extended or continued by this Section 6.3(b)(i), the “Superior Proposal Match Period”) after delivery of such notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement (or to make another proposal) in response to such Acquisition Proposal and during such period has caused its Representatives to negotiate in good faith with Buyer (to the extent Buyer wishes to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would no

-47- longer be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law (it being understood and agreed that each and any amendment or modification (other than immaterial amendments or modifications) of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new notice period with a new Superior Proposal Match Period of two (2) Business Days); and (D) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal (as defined in Section 6.2(b)) at the end of such Superior Proposal Match Period, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the Merger or this Agreement proposed by Buyer during such Superior Proposal Match Period. (ii) The Company Board shall be permitted (other than in connection with a Company Superior Proposal, which shall be governed by Section 6.3(b)(i)), to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event, if the following conditions are met: (A) the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained; (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel, that failing to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable law; (C) before taking any such action, the Company gives Buyer written notice advising Buyer of the decision of the Company Board to take such action (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of such Intervening Event and the reasons for such action), and the Company has given Buyer at least four (4) Business Days (as modified, extended or continued by this Section 6.3(b)(ii), the “Match Period”) after delivery of such notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement (or to make another proposal) and has caused its Representatives to negotiate in good faith with Buyer (to the extent Buyer wishes to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would no longer be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable law (it being understood and agreed that any material change in the facts or circumstances underlying such determination shall require a new notice period with a new Match Period of two (2) Business Days); and (D) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that the failure to take such action would continue to be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable law, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the Merger or this Agreement proposed by Buyer during such Match Period. Without limiting the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in the circumstances set forth in Article VIII, a Change in the Company Recommendation shall not limit the Company’s obligation to submit this Agreement to the stockholders of the Company for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting. (c) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company and Buyer shall prepare, and the Company shall file with the SEC, the Proxy Statement. Each of Buyer and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to have the Proxy Statement to be cleared by the SEC and its staff under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. Buyer shall promptly comply with all reasonable requests from the Company for information regarding Buyer or Merger Sub and required by applicable law for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto. The Company will not file the Proxy Statement, or any amendments or supplements thereto, with the SEC

-48- without first providing Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company will (x) include the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Buyer or its counsel to the extent relating to Buyer or its Affiliates and (y) consider in good faith all other such reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Buyer or its counsel in connection therewith. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable after receipt of confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, any communications filed pursuant to Rules 14a-12 and 14a-6 under the Exchange Act or any other disclosures or statements with respect to the Merger contained in any filing required under securities Laws, other than the Proxy Statement, shall be subject to Section 6.8. (d) Each of the Company and Buyer shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. (e) If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, any information relating to the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by the Company, Buyer or Merger Sub, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that none of such documents would include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. (f) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide Buyer with copies of any written comments, and advise the other of any oral comments, received from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Buyer with copies of all correspondence between it and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect thereto. Each of the Company and Buyer shall provide the other with a reasonable opportunity to participate in any meetings or calls with the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and review and comment on any communications with the SEC prior to filing such with the SEC, and will promptly provide the other with a copy of all such filings and communications made with the SEC. The Company and Buyer shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable. (g) The Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Proxy Statement is first mailed to stockholders of the Company, and in any event within forty-five (45) days thereafter, for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder

-49- Approval (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”), and the Company Board shall include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; provided, however, that the Company Board may effect a Change in the Company Recommendation if permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 6.3(b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.3(b) and the Company’s rights to terminate this Agreement under the circumstances set forth in Article VIII, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3(g) or its other obligations under this Section 6.3 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or its stockholders or representatives of any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), adjourn, postpone or otherwise delay the Company Stockholder Meeting; provided that the Company may, notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of Buyer, adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting (A) if the Company believes in good faith that such adjournment or postponement is reasonably necessary to allow reasonable additional time to (1) solicit additional proxies necessary to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, or (2) distribute any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement the distribution of which the Company Board has determined in good faith to be necessary under applicable law after consultation with outside legal counsel or (B) for an absence of a quorum, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such a quorum as promptly as practicable; provided that the Company shall postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting up to two times for up to ten (10) Business Days each time upon the reasonable request of Buyer to solicit additional proxies for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4, Buyer and its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and, in any event, prior to the End Date, including (i) the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any permanent, preliminary or temporary Governmental Order that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (A) the proffer and agreement by Buyer of its willingness to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate pending such

-52- disposition, and promptly to effect the sale, lease, license, disposal and holding separate of, such assets, rights, product lines, categories of assets or businesses or other operations or interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Entity giving effect thereto, including the entry into hold separate arrangements, terminating, assigning or modifying Contracts (or portions thereof) or other business relationships, accepting restrictions on business operations and entering into commitments and obligations) and (B) the proffer and agreement by Buyer of its willingness to take such other actions, and promptly to effect such other actions (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Entity giving effect thereto, including the entry into hold separate arrangements, terminating, assigning or modifying Contracts (or portions thereof) or other business relationships, accepting restrictions on business operations and entering into commitments and obligations), in each case if such action should be necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the (x) commencement of any Proceeding in any forum by a Governmental Entity or (y) actual, anticipated or threatened issuance of any Governmental Order, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), or any other provisions of this Section 6.4, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be required to take actions that would, individually or in the aggregate, amount to a Burdensome Condition and which are not conditioned on the consummation of the Closing, (ii) defending through litigation on the merits (including through appeal) any claim asserted in any court, agency or other Proceeding by any Person, including any Governmental Entity, seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) taking, in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary Governmental Order is entered or issued, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, in any Proceeding or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its terms unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all actions (including the appeal thereof and the posting of a bond) required by such Governmental Entity or otherwise necessary to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate or remove such actual, anticipated or threatened Governmental Order so as to permit such consummation as promptly as practicable, and in any event, prior to the End Date; notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be required to take any actions that would, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Burdensome Condition.

Section 6.5 Status; Notifications. Subject to applicable Law and as otherwise required by any Governmental Entity, the Company and Buyer each shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the consummation of the Transactions. The Company and Buyer each shall give prompt notice to the other of any Company Material Adverse Effect or any Buyer Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or of any failure of any condition to the other Party’s obligation to consummate the Transactions; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, right, remedy or condition to any obligation of any Party or update the Company Disclosure Letter or Buyer Disclosure Letter, as applicable. Section 6.6 Information; Access and Reports. (a) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII and the Closing, subject to applicable Law and the other provisions of this Section 6.6, each of the Company and Buyer shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Affiliates, directors and officers and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Buyer or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions, and shall, upon giving of reasonable notice by the other, afford the other’s authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours following reasonable advance notice throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its officers, employees, agents, contracts, books and records (including the work papers of its independent accountants upon receipt of any required consents from such accountants), as well as properties, offices and other facilities, and, during such period, each of the Company and Buyer shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested by the other, in each case, for purposes reasonably related to the consummation of the Transactions, including transition or integration planning related thereto. (b) The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6 shall not require and shall not be construed to require either the Company or Buyer to permit any access to any of its officers, employees, agents, contracts, books or records, or its properties, offices or other facilities, or to permit any inspection, review, sampling or audit, or to disclose or otherwise make available any information that in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Buyer, as applicable, would (i) result in the disclosure of any Trade Secrets of any third parties or violate the terms of any confidentiality provisions in any agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this

-54- Agreement if the Party shall have used commercially reasonable efforts (without payment of any consideration, fees or expenses) to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure, (ii) result in a violation of applicable Law, including any fiduciary duty, (iii) result in the loss of the protection of any attorney-client privilege, (iv) result in the disclosure of any personal information that would expose the Party to the risk of liability or (v) unreasonably disrupt the operations of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries. In the event that the Company or Buyer, as applicable, objects to any request submitted pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.6(b) and withholds information on the basis of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), the Company or Buyer, as applicable, shall inform the other Party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the Company or Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments, including through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to (A) obtain the required consent or waiver of any third party required to provide such information and (B) implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the Parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Each of the Company or Buyer, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the Parties.

-55- information as the Confidentiality Agreement, in connection with the Financing or such financing or refinancing, as applicable. (c) To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 6.6 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened Proceedings, the Parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine.

Section 6.7 Exchange Act Deregistration.

Section 6.8 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the Merger shall be a joint press release and thereafter the Company and Buyer shall consult with each other, and provide meaningful opportunity for review and give due consideration to reasonable comment by the other Party, prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making planned public statements with respect to the Merger and prior to making any filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except (i) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or trading market, (ii) any consultation that would not be reasonably practicable as a result of requirements of applicable Law, (iii) with respect to or following any Change in the Company Recommendation made in accordance with this Agreement or with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) consistent with the initial press release or other mutually agreed communications (including any other public filings made with the SEC in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions).

-56- Section 6.9 Employee Matters. (a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) provide each Continuing Employee with (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, target cash incentive opportunities (including, as applicable, target annual or short-term bonus and commission opportunities) and target equity or equity-based incentive opportunities that are, in each case, no less than those in effect for such Continuing Employee immediately before the Effective Time (provided that Buyer shall not be required to grant equity or equity-based incentives to Continuing Employees and shall be permitted to replace such value with cash or cash-based awards) and (ii) all other employee benefits (excluding deferred compensation, severance and defined benefit pension benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those (excluding deferred compensation, severance and defined benefit pension benefits) that are in effect for (or available to) such Continuing Employee as of the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, base salary or wage rate and target annual or short-term cash and target long-term incentive compensation opportunities shall not be decreased during the Continuation Period for any Continuing Employee employed during that period. (b) During the Continuation Period (or such longer period required by the terms of the applicable Company Plan), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) provide each Continuing Employee with severance and termination benefits that are no less favorable than those applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately before the Effective Time as set forth on Section 4.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided that such severance benefits shall be subject to the execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of Buyer and its Subsidiaries. (c) With respect to each benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement that is made available to any Continuing Employee at or after the Effective Time (each such plan, a “New Plan”), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual, long-term incentive compensation, and severance entitlement or termination pay), except (x) to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits for the same period of service or (y) for purposes of defined benefit pension plans or post-employment health and welfare arrangements. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all New Plans to the extent that coverage pursuant to any such New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a corresponding Company Plan (such plans, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing life insurance, medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or disability benefits, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for the Continuing Employees and their covered dependents; and (iii) for

-57- purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or vision benefits, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by the Continuing Employees and their covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date that Continuing Employees’ participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employees and their covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time and will not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and shall not limit future accruals. (d) In respect of each Continuing Employee’s annual bonus for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Year Annual Bonus”), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to each Continuing Employee the Closing Year Annual Bonus in an amount equal to the greater of (i) such Continuing Employee’s full bonus entitlement under the applicable Company Plan, assuming for purposes of determining such Closing Year Annual Bonus (x) with respect to any applicable individual performance goals, that such goals are achieved at no less than target levels of performance and (y) with respect to any applicable company performance goals, that such goals are achieved at the greater of (A) target performance and (B) actual performance based on actual performance through the Closing Date, extrapolated through the end of the applicable calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, in either case, as determined in good faith and otherwise in the Ordinary Course by the Company prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the amount payable to such Continuing Employee under the applicable Company Plan based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance period under such plan, as determined by Buyer in good faith and consistent with the Company’s past practice (such amount, the “Closing Year Annual Bonus Payment”); provided that the Closing Year Annual Bonus Payment will be payable at the same time and subject to the same terms and conditions as called for in the applicable Company Plan in effect as of the Closing Date (including any continued employment or similar requirement under an applicable Company Plan); and provided, further, that in no event will any Continuing Employee receive any Closing Year Annual Bonus Payment, or portion thereof, that would be duplicative of any bonus-related amounts payable as severance, termination pay or similar pay under any Company Plan. (e) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) assume and honor all of the Company Plans, including, for avoidance of doubt, employment agreements with Continuing Employees, in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. (f) The Surviving Corporation shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) assume all Collective Bargaining Agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of employment for any (i) Continuing Employees covered, or who become covered, by a Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be governed by the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement until the expiration, modification or termination of such

-58- Collective Bargaining Agreement in accordance with its terms or applicable Law, and (ii) Continuing Employees otherwise located outside the United States shall be subject to applicable Law. (g) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Person any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Person at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, in accordance with any Collective Bargaining Agreements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.9(g) shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Company Plan, or any plan, program or arrangement of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, or (ii) create any third-party rights in any current or former service provider or employee of the Company or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof). Section 6.10 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former (determined as of the Effective Time) chair emeritus, director and officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, when acting in such capacity (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to any Proceeding, in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including in connection with (i) the Transactions and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party, and Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted to do so under applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Company or its applicable Subsidiary in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. (b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies for the extension of (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries’ existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the Company and its Subsidiaries’ insurance carrier(s) as of the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the

-59- Company and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate cost of such “tail” insurance exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premium for such insurance in effect as of the date hereof (the “Maximum Amount”); and provided, further, that if the aggregate cost for such “tail” insurance exceeds the Maximum Amount, then the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall obtain such “tail” insurance that is the most advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount, unless otherwise directed by Buyer to exceed the Maximum Amount. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the D&O Insurance in place as of the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies as of the Effective Time, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for the Tail Period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such insurance an aggregate annual cost in excess of the Maximum Amount; and provided, further, that if such insurance is not reasonably available or the aggregate annual cost for such insurance exceeds the Maximum Amount, then the Surviving Corporation shall obtain such insurance available that is the most advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount. (c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.10, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall promptly notify Buyer thereof in writing, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Buyer or the Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any Proceeding: (i) Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (it being understood that by electing to assume the defense thereof, neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto or assumed any liability with respect thereto), except that if Buyer or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or legal counsel for the Indemnified Party advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Buyer or the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may retain legal counsel satisfactory to them, and Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such legal counsel for the Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 6.10 to pay for only one firm of legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one legal counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such legal counsel with a conflict of interest (provided that the fewest number of legal counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used); (ii) the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter if Buyer or the Surviving Corporation elects to assume such defense, and Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter if Buyer or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense; (iii) the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any settlement effected

-60- without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if Buyer or the Surviving Corporation elects to assume such defense, and Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if Buyer or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense; (iv) Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnified action of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law; and (v) all rights to indemnification in respect of any such Proceedings shall continue until final disposition of all such Proceedings. (d) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Transactions unchanged and shall not be amended, restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party. (e) If Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10. (f) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.10 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective chair emeritus, directors, officers or other employees (it being understood that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under such policies). (g) This Section 6.10 is intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, who shall be third- party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10. Section 6.11 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Transactions, each of the Company (including the Company Board) and Buyer (including the Buyer Board), respectively, shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

-61- Section 6.12 Section 16 Matters. The Company, Buyer and the Company Board and the Buyer Board (or duly formed committees thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)), shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the Merger and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) or acquisitions of equity securities of Buyer (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by any individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Buyer, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Section 6.13 Transaction Litigation. (a) In the event that any stockholder litigation related to this Agreement or the Transactions is brought against the Company or any members of the Company Board from and following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (such litigation, “Company Transaction Litigation”), the Company shall promptly notify Buyer of such Company Transaction Litigation and shall keep Buyer reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof (including by providing copies of all substantive pleadings with respect thereto). The Company shall give Buyer a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement (at Buyer’s sole expense and subject to a customary joint defense agreement) of any Company Transaction Litigation (including by providing Buyer the opportunity to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company) and shall consider in good faith Buyer’s advice with respect to such Company Transaction Litigation; provided that the Company shall in any event control such defense and the disclosure of information to Buyer in connection therewith shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.5; provided, further, that the Company shall not settle or agree to settle any Company Transaction Litigation without prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (b) In the event that any stockholder litigation related to this Agreement or the Transactions is brought against Buyer or any members of the Buyer Board from and following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (such litigation, “Buyer Transaction Litigation”), Buyer shall promptly notify the Company of such Buyer Transaction Litigation and shall keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof (including by providing copies of all substantive pleadings with respect thereto). Buyer shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement (at the Company’s sole expense and subject to a customary joint defense agreement) of any Buyer Transaction Litigation (including by providing the Company the opportunity to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by Buyer) and shall consider in good faith the Company’s advice with respect to such Buyer Transaction Litigation; provided that Buyer shall in any event control such defense and the disclosure of information to the Company in connection therewith shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.5; provided, further, that Buyer shall not settle or agree to settle any Buyer Transaction Litigation without prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (c) Promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day of the execution

-62- of this Agreement, Buyer shall file a voluntary notice of dismissal with prejudice with respect to the lawsuit it filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware naming as defendants the Company, the Company Board and its Chair Emeritus John C. Malone (Paramount Skydance Corp. v. Zaslav, No. 2026-0044-MTZ). Buyer shall promptly take any further actions required to dismiss with prejudice such lawsuit. Section 6.14 Standstill. Except as provided for in this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions, until the earliest of (x) the Effective Time, (y) if this Agreement is terminated in circumstances in which Buyer is required to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee or pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i), June 4, 2027 and (z) if this Agreement is terminated other than in circumstances in which Buyer is required to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee or pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i), the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, neither Buyer nor any of Buyer’s Affiliates (other than any Affiliate that has not received Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and is not acting on behalf of, or otherwise in concert with, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer that has received Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement)) nor any of Buyer’s Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) acting on Buyer’s behalf shall in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or announce any intention to effect or cause or participate in or in any way assist, facilitate or encourage any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or derivative securities (or beneficial ownership thereof), or any assets, indebtedness or businesses, of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the Company or any of its affiliates, or assets constituting a significant portion of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Affiliates, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or the businesses or assets of the foregoing or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities or derivative securities of the Company or any of its affiliates or the calling of a meeting of the Company’s stockholders or the initiation of any proposal for action by the Company’s stockholders; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) to vote, acquire or dispose of any such securities or derivative securities of the Company, other than together with its Representatives in their capacity as such; (c) demand a copy of the Company’s record of stockholders, stock ledger list or any other books or records of the Company; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek or obtain representation on or to control or influence the management, the Company Board or the policies of the Company, or propose any matter to be voted on by holders of securities or loans of the Company; (e) take any action that would or would reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in clause (a) of this Section 6.14; (f) other than in connection with the Transactions as otherwise permitted hereby, arrange, or in any way participate in, any financing for the purchase of any securities, loans or assets of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any derivative securities with respect to any of the foregoing entities; (g) enter into any discussions, arrangements or understandings with any third party (that is not a Representative), including any Company stockholder, with respect to any of the foregoing; or (h) announce or otherwise publicly disclose any interest, intention or plan to do any of the foregoing, or request, directly or indirectly, that the Company waive, amend or terminate

-63- any provision of this Section 6.14 (including this clause). For purposes of this Section 6.14, “derivative securities” means, with respect to any person, any right, option, other security or derivative position that has an exercise, exchange or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to, or a value determined in whole or in part with reference to or derived in whole or in part from, the value of any securities, bank debt or other obligations of such person or any of its affiliates. Section 6.15 [Reserved]. Section 6.16 Financing. (a) Buyer shall, and shall cause the Buyer Entities to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain and consummate the Committed Financing on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent applicable, the “market flex” provisions) set forth in the Commitment Letter and the Subscription Agreements, as applicable, no later than the Closing Date, including using their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter and the Subscription Agreements until the Transactions are consummated (it being acknowledged that the commitments under the Commitment Letter may be reduced or terminated in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter to the extent that Buyer receives cash proceeds, to be used solely to fund the Required Amounts, from, or commitments in respect of, any other Financing (other than any Buyer Public Equity Financing) on or prior to the Closing Date (so long as such reduction or termination does not result in a Prohibited Modification)), (ii) negotiate, enter into and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Committed Debt Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the alternative Financing contemplated in the immediately preceding clause (i), as applicable, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions applicable to the Committed Debt Financing) (or on terms that will not prevent, materially delay or materially impair the Closing or make the funding with respect to the Committed Financing or Financing, as applicable, less likely to occur or otherwise result in a Prohibited Modification), (iii) satisfy or cause to be waived on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer and the Buyer Entities set forth in the Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements and in the Subscription Agreements, (iv) upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the Committed Financing or Financing, as applicable, and the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the Closing Date and (v) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter, such definitive agreements and the Subscription Agreements. Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement, waive (or otherwise grant consent under) the Subscription Agreements. Buyer shall not (and shall cause the Buyer Entities not to), without the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement, waive (or otherwise grant consent under) the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements in respect of the Committed Debt Financing or replace all or any portion of the commitments in respect of the Committed Debt Financing, to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement, replacement or waiver would reasonably be expected to (w) reduce the amount of the Committed Financing to an amount that would result in Buyer having insufficient funds, when added with any then-immediately available Committed Financing, to pay the Required Amounts, (x)(i) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the initial funding of the Committed Debt Financing other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date of this

-64- Agreement) or (ii) otherwise modify the conditions precedent to the initial funding of the Committed Debt Financing (as in effect on the date of this Agreement) in a manner reasonably expected to delay, prevent or impede the funding of the Committed Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Committed Debt Financing) or make such funding materially less likely to occur, (y) jeopardize or delay in any material respect the Closing or (z) adversely affect the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (the effect described in clause (w) through (z), a “Prohibited Modification”); provided, however, Buyer may amend, modify, supplement or waive any provision of the Commitment Letter (A) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, in each case, as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or (B) to reduce or terminate the commitments thereunder as a result of (x) Buyer’s receipt of commitments in connection with an alternative financing which will generate, or (y) Buyer’s consummation of an alternative financing which provides Buyer, taken together with any other Committed Financing, with sufficient funds necessary to, and solely to be used to, pay the Required Amounts at Closing, in each case in any manner that does not result in a Prohibited Modification. As soon as reasonably practicable, Buyer will provide the Company with true and complete executed copies of any amendment or supplement to, or modification or replacement of or waiver under, the Commitment Letter (subject, in the case of any fee letters, to redaction solely of fee and other economic provisions that are customarily redacted in connection with transactions of this type and none of which would be reasonably expected to impact the conditionality or amount of the Financing) made in compliance with this Section 6.16(a). Upon any such amendment, modification, supplement, replacement, waiver or consummation of an alternative financing, (1) the definitions of “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Debt Fee Letter” and/or “Financing,” as applicable, set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified as appropriate to reflect such amendment, modification, supplement, replacement, waiver or alternative financing and (2) any reference in this Agreement to the “Committed Debt Financing” shall mean the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, as the same may be replaced, amended, modified, supplemented or waived in accordance with this Agreement. (b) If the Committed Debt Financing in an aggregate principal amount (together with the Committed Equity Financing) at least equal to the Required Amounts becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, and such unavailable amount is necessary to pay the Required Amounts (each such event, an “Original Financing Failure”), Buyer shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Original Financing Failure after obtaining knowledge thereof and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as reasonably practicable, alternative financing from alternative sources that does not include conditions to obtaining the Financing that are materially more onerous to Buyer, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Commitment Letter (taking into account any “market flex” provisions) and in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Committed Debt Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be (the “Alternate Financing”) that is necessary to pay the Required Amounts, and to obtain new financing commitment letter(s) with respect to such Alternate Financing (the “New Commitment Letter(s)”), which shall replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter. Buyer shall promptly provide true and complete and fully executed copies of such New Commitment Letter(s) (including all attachments thereto) and all related fee letters (subject, in the case of any

-65- fee letters, to redaction solely of fee and other economic provisions that are customarily redacted in connection with transactions of this type and none of which would be reasonably expected to impact the conditionality or amount of the Financing) to the Company. In the event New Commitment Letter(s) are obtained, (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” or “Debt Fee Letter” shall be deemed to include the New Commitment Letter(s) or related fee letters, as applicable, and (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Committed Financing” or “Committed Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the New Commitment Letter(s) and related fee letters. If any Equity Financing Failure Event occurs, Buyer shall promptly notify the Company and, to the extent applicable, in consultation with the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for alternative equity financing (“Equity Replacement Financing”) in an amount that when added with the Committed Debt Financing and any cash, marketable securities, available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds of Buyer would be sufficient to pay the Required Amounts and which satisfies the Syndication Conditions (as defined in the Subscription Agreements). Buyer shall deliver to the Company true, correct and complete copies of all contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Equity Replacement Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not release any Equity Investor or Guarantor of its obligations under the Subscription Agreements or the Ellison Guarantee, as applicable. (c)  Buyer shall keep the Company reasonably informed promptly upon written request (which may be via email) in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and the Committed Debt Financing. Buyer shall give the Company prompt notice of (i) any material breach or material default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter, any Subscription Agreement, or any definitive agreements related to the Committed Financing, in each case, of which Buyer becomes aware, (ii) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication, in each case received from any Financing Source or any Equity Investor with respect to any (x) material breach of Buyer’s obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter, any Subscription Agreement or definitive agreements related to the Committed Financing, or default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter, any Subscription Agreement or definitive agreements related to the Committed Financing or (y) material dispute between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter, any Subscription Agreement or definitive agreements related to the Committed Financing or any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or any Subscription Agreement, in each case with respect to the obligation to fund the amount of the Committed Financing to be funded at Closing and (iii) if for any reason Buyer has determined in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Committed Financing on the terms contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the Subscription Agreements, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to pay the Required Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be required to provide access to or disclose information that would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, Buyer or any Buyer Entity; provided that Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to provide an alternative means of disclosing or providing such information, and in the case of any confidentiality obligation, Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by such confidentiality obligations, notify the Company if any such information that the Company has specifically identified and requested is being withheld as a result of any such obligation of confidentiality. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Buyer Entities and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, use

-66- reasonable best efforts to provide to the Company cooperation reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any financing or refinancing to be undertaken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not prohibited by this Agreement (including any Company Refinancing), including using reasonable best efforts to provide cooperation consistent in all material respects with the cooperation required of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives under Section 6.16(d), as applicable. In addition, in the event that any portion of the Committed Debt Financing or any Alternate Financing becomes unavailable as a result of the inability to satisfy a condition precedent to the Committed Debt Financing or any Alternate Financing due to Buyer’s or any of its Representatives’ inability to deliver a solvency certificate or to make a required representation regarding solvency, Buyer shall increase the amount funded under the Committed Equity Financing (such increase in the Committed Equity Financing, the “Contingent Equity Amount”) to the extent necessary for Buyer to address such solvency matter and obtain the Required Amounts at Closing. (d) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, use reasonable best efforts to provide to Buyer cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, including using reasonable best efforts (to the extent reasonable and customary for financings of the type contemplated thereby as of the date of this Agreement) to: (i) cause the appropriate senior officers of the Company to participate in a reasonable but limited number of lender or investor meetings, lender or investor presentations, roadshows, sessions with rating agencies and due diligence sessions (which may be attended via teleconference or virtual meeting platforms), in each case, upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates and reasonable times; (ii) provide reasonable and customary assistance with the preparation of customary rating agency presentations, roadshow materials, customary bank information memoranda and bank syndication materials, offering documents, prospectuses and similar documents customarily required (which may incorporate, by reference, periodic and current reports filed by the Company with the SEC), in connection with consummating any Financing, in each case, solely with respect to customary information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iii) provide all documentation and other information reasonably required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, including the USA PATRIOT Act, solely relating to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as reasonably requested in writing by Buyer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (iv) provide reasonable and customary assistance to Buyer and the Financing Sources in their preparation of offering documents for any Financing, including by using reasonable best efforts to (x) [reserved], (y) furnish Buyer, following Buyer’s request made in good faith and in a timely manner, with all customary financial information (to the extent reasonably available to the Company) solely relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries

-67- required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 4 of Exhibit C of the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof) to the extent required to consummate any Financing (provided that in the event of any Financing that consists of a securities issuance prior to the Closing, the references to the number of days in such paragraph also shall be deemed to refer to a number of days prior to the applicable closing date of any such securities issuance), and (z) furnish Buyer, following Buyer’s request made in good faith and in a timely manner, with the information and assistance that is reasonably necessary to permit Buyer to prepare pro forma financial statements described in Section 3(vi) of the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof) if required to be used in or are customarily used in connection with any Financing (provided that in the event of any Financing that consists of a securities issuance prior to the Closing, the references to the number of days in such paragraph also shall be deemed to refer to a number of days prior to the applicable closing date of any such securities issuance), it being understood that Buyer, and not the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Representatives, is responsible for the preparation of the pro forma financial statements and any other pro forma information, including any pro forma adjustments; (v) (A) cause its independent auditors to reasonably cooperate with any Financing consistent with their customary practice, including (x) their participation in customary accounting due diligence sessions, and (y) requesting that they provide customary comfort letters (including “negative assurance” and customary “change period” comfort) and customary consents to the inclusion of the Company’s auditor reports and (B) providing customary management representation letters to such auditors, in each case, to the extent required in connection with such comfort letters and the marketing and syndication of any Financing; (vi) assist with the preparation of and enter into (but not prior to the Closing) the definitive documentation relating to the Financing (including review of any disclosure schedules related thereto for completeness and accuracy); and (vii) facilitate discussions with the Company’s existing lender and banking relationships (including cooperating with Buyer in connection with the replacement or backstopping of letters of credit). (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the assistance contemplated in Section 6.16(d) and the actions and matters referred to in Section 6.16(f) shall not (i) unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, (ii) (A) require the taking of any action in respect of any Financing to the extent that such action would cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article VII to fail to be satisfied by the End Date or otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (iii) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would conflict with or violate any of its organizational documents, any applicable law or fiduciary duty, or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract or permit to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (iv) except in connection with any consent solicitation described in Section 6.16(f), require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue any bank information memoranda, lender presentations, offering memoranda, or similar documents including

-68- disclosure and financial statements (1) [reserved] or (2) in the name of the Company or its Subsidiaries, separate from Buyer and/or its Subsidiaries, (v) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute any Contract or any other letter, agreement, document or certificate prior to the Closing the effectiveness of which is not expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing (other than customary management letters contemplated in Section 6.16(d) or any payoff letter or supplemental indenture contemplated in Section 6.16(f) and any customary certificates required in connection therewith), (vi) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any agreement or commitment in connection with any Financing that is effective prior to the Closing (other than customary management letters contemplated in Section 6.16(d) or payoff letters, supplemental indentures and related documents contemplated in Section 6.16(f)), (vii) result in the Company or its Subsidiaries, including any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any actual or potential personal liability with respect to any matters relating to any Financing, (viii) provide access to or disclose information that the Company determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any applicable Law, or violate any of the confidentiality provisions of any confidentiality agreement or Contract, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ix) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to change any fiscal period, (x) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to authorize any corporate action with respect to any Financing prior to the Closing Date, except for such corporate action that is conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing (and only by their respective directors, managers or other Persons holding similar positions at the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who are expected to continue to hold such positions following the Closing), (xi) except in connection with any consent solicitation described in Section 6.16(f), require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to provide any legal opinion or other opinion of counsel (other than in connection with the supplemental indentures contemplated in Section 6.16(f)), (xii) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent or incur any liability with respect to or cause or permit any liens to be placed on any of its assets in connection with any Financing prior to the Closing Date, (xiii) require the Company to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Committed Financing, the definitive documents related to any Financing or any information utilized in connection therewith (in each case except following the Closing), or (xiv) require the Company or any of its Representatives to prepare or provide any pro forma financial statements, information or projections or other financial statements or other financial information (other than as set forth in Section 6.16(d)(iv) above) that are not otherwise prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of business.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Guarantors acknowledge that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, bring and prosecute a separate action or actions against each Guarantor for all or a portion of the unsatisfied Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether any such action is brought against Paramount, Merger Sub, the other Guarantor or any other Person, or whether Paramount, Merger Sub, the other Guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions (provided the Guaranteed Party may not actually recover more than once in respect of the same Guaranteed Obligation to the extent such Guaranteed Obligation is satisfied). The Guaranteed Party shall not be required to proceed against Paramount, Merger Sub or any other Person first before proceeding against any Guarantor, and any failure by the Guaranteed Party to pursue such rights and remedies it may have against Paramount or Merger Sub or to collect any payments from Paramount or Merger Sub shall not relieve the Guarantors of any liability hereunder. 2. NATURE OF THE GUARANTEE. 2.1. Each of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing (except in the case where this Ellison Guarantee is terminated in accordance with Section 8 hereof) irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of, or any consent to or departure from, the Merger Agreement that may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Without

3 limiting the foregoing, the Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Paramount or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be, and is, returned to a Guarantor for any reason whatsoever (other than circumstances where a Guarantor is not liable to make such payment), this Ellison Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, and the Guarantors shall remain liable hereunder for the Guaranteed Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This Ellison Guarantee is an absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of payment and not of collection. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ellison Guarantee to the contrary, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees that each Guarantor may assert as a defense to any payment or performance by such Guarantor under this Ellison Guarantee, any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release that Paramount, Merger Sub or the Guarantors could assert against the Guaranteed Party under the terms of the Merger Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, as applicable (other than (i) any defense, claims, set-off, deduction or release based on lack of authority of Paramount or Merger Sub or any other defense that would not exist if the representations and warranties of Paramount and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement and of the parties to the Subscription Agreement were true and correct and the covenants of Paramount and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement and of the parties to and under the Subscription Agreement were complied with, or (ii) any defense based on any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar case or proceeding involving Paramount, Merger Sub or either Guarantor or principles of fraudulent conveyance (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Defense Exceptions”)). 3. CHANGES IN OBLIGATIONS, CERTAIN WAIVERS. 3.1. Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of either Guarantor, extend the time of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may also enter into any agreement with Paramount, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms of the Merger Agreement or of any other agreement between the Guaranteed Party and Paramount, Merger Sub or any other Person, without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantors’ respective obligations under this Ellison Guarantee or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Ellison Guarantee. The liability of each Guarantor under this Ellison Guarantee shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor agrees that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (except in the case where this Ellison Guarantee is terminated in accordance with Section 8 hereof): (a) any amendment, waiver or modification of the Merger Agreement or the Subscription Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof, or the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Paramount, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (with or without notice to such Guarantor); (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any extension, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or

4 provisions of the Merger Agreement (including with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations) or the Subscription Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation; (c) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, including (x) resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in the Merger Agreement by Paramount or Merger Sub or in the Subscription Agreement by any party thereto or (y) pursuant to or in connection with or arising from, in or under, any insolvency, bankruptcy, winding up, moratorium, receivership, dissolution, assignment, reorganization or other similar proceeding commenced against Paramount or Merger Sub; (d) any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of Paramount, Merger Sub, any Guarantor or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Subscription Agreement; (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Paramount, Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Subscription Agreement; (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that the Guarantors may have at any time against Paramount, Merger Sub, the Guaranteed Party or any other Person, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than as expressly provided by the last sentence of Section 2.1); (g) any default by Paramount or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, any default under the Subscription Agreement by any party thereto, or any default by the other Guarantor hereunder; (h) any change in law; (i) the addition, substitution, discharge or release of any Person in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Subscription Agreement; or (j) the adequacy of any means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining payment related to the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, subject to Section 2 hereof, each Guarantor shall be fully released and discharged hereunder if the applicable Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full to the Guaranteed Party in accordance with the Merger Agreement or this Ellison Guarantee. 3.2. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Ellison Guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any Guaranteed Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind (other than notices to Paramount or Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement and notices to the Guarantors pursuant to express provisions of this Ellison Guarantee), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium or other similar applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Paramount, Merger Sub, the other Guarantor or any other person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and all suretyship defenses generally (other than (i) defenses to the payment of Guaranteed Obligations that are available to Paramount or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement (other than the Defense Exceptions) or (ii) actual fraud or Willful Breach, in each case of this Ellison Guarantee by the Guaranteed Party). Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Ellison Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. For the

5 purposes of this Section 3.2, “Willful Breach” means an intentional and willful material breach, or an intentional and willful material failure to perform, in each case that is the consequence of an act or omission by a party hereto with the knowledge that taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a breach of this Ellison Guarantee. 3.3. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Paramount, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that arise from the existence, payment, performance, or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Ellison Guarantee or any other agreement in connection therewith (subject to the limitations expressly set forth herein), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Guaranteed Party against Paramount, Merger Sub or such other Person, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Paramount, Merger Sub or such other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, and such Guarantor shall not exercise any such rights unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations due and payable hereunder shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in immediately available funds, free and clear of any deduction, set-off, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantors in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in immediately available funds of all amounts payable by the Guarantors under this Ellison Guarantee, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the applicable Guarantor and shall forthwith be promptly paid or delivered to the Guaranteed Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, or to be held as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations. 4. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. 4.1. No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by applicable law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time. Nothing in this Ellison Guarantee shall limit in any way the right of the Guaranteed Party to seek (and, if applicable, obtain) any equitable relief under and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANT. 5.1. The Trust hereby represents and warrants to the Guaranteed Party that: 5.1.1. the Trust was created by L.

By its acceptance of this Ellison Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party acknowledges, covenants and agrees this Ellison Guarantee may only be enforced against, and any Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise resulting from this Ellison Guarantee, or any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Ellison Guarantee, may only be brought against the persons expressly named as parties hereto or thereto (or any of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted

12 assigns) and then only with respect to the obligations set forth herein or therein with respect to such party. 9.2. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Ellison Guarantee shall prohibit the Guaranteed Party from pursuing both a grant of specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Merger Agreement and the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or other monetary damages that may be available thereunder (subject to the limitations set forth therein); provided, that, in no event shall the Guaranteed Party be entitled to both (x) a grant of specific performance of the obligation to consummate the Transactions contemplated by Merger Agreement that results in the Closing and (y) payment of the Regulatory Termination Fee.

PARAMOUNT TO ACQUIRE WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY TO FORM NEXT- GENERATION GLOBAL MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY • The newly merged company will be well positioned to compete in the rapidly evolving entertainment industry where storytelling combined with world class technology expertise will be an important driver of value creation across the ecosystem and for shareholders • Investing in the world-class studios of Paramount and WBD, focusing on attracting and retaining the industry’s leading creative talent while expanding the supply of high-quality content for both the combined company’s platforms and third-party distribution platforms • Driving long-term growth by investing in and expanding our DTC business, powered by our combined world-class storytelling to reach more audiences and compete effectively with leading streaming services • Committed to producing a minimum of 30 theatrical films annually, delivering exceptional entertainment to audiences and driving long-term job growth across the film and creative industries • Paramount issuing $47 billion of new Class B shares at $16.02 per share, supported by a fully committed investment from the Ellison Family and RedBird Capital Partners • Transaction values WBD at enterprise value of $110 billion, representing a multiple of 7.5x on fully synergized 2026 EBITDA Los Angeles and New York, February 27, 2026 – Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ: PSKY) (“Paramount”) and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) (“WBD”) today announced they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Paramount will acquire WBD, forming a premier global media and entertainment company focused on expanding consumer choice and empowering creative talent worldwide. Under the terms of the agreement, Paramount will pay $31.00 per share in cash for all outstanding shares of WBD. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances and approval by WBD shareholders, with a vote expected in the early spring of 2026. In the event the transaction has not closed by September 30, 2026, WBD shareholders will receive a $0.25 per share “ticking fee” for each quarter (measured daily) until closing. The merger unlocks innovative and compelling storytelling opportunities across the combined company’s best-in-class film and television studios, streaming and linear platforms. Together, Paramount and WBD will deliver greater choice for consumers through its leading streaming platforms with an exceptional intellectual property portfolio that has produced popular franchises such as Game of Thrones, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Top Gun, the DC Universe and SpongeBob SquarePants. David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, said: “From the very beginning, our pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery has been guided by a clear purpose: to honor the legacy of two iconic companies while accelerating our vision of building a next-generation media and entertainment company. By bringing together these world-class studios, our complementary streaming

platforms, and the extraordinary talent behind them, we will create even greater value for audiences, partners and shareholders — and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.” David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery said: "I’m very pleased with the outcome we achieved for WBD shareholders and the entertainment industry. Our guiding principle throughout this process has been to secure a transaction that maximizes the value of our iconic assets and our century- old studio while delivering as much certainty as possible for our investors. We look forward to working with Paramount to complete this historic transaction.” Strategic and Financial Benefits of a Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery Merger • Hollywood Champion: We will invest in expanding the creative engines at the core of both WBD and Paramount. We will maintain both studios while prioritizing the attraction and retention of world- class creative talent, strengthening our ability to deliver a broad pipeline of high-quality content, including 15 theatrical feature films per year per studio, for our combined platforms and third-party distribution partners. • Establishes a Global Streaming Competitor: By uniting the strengths of Paramount and WBD, we will create a premier direct-to-consumer platform with enhanced reach, engagement, and monetization capabilities – positioning the combined company to increase competition while accelerating subscriber growth, deepening engagement, and driving significant long-term profitability. • Pro-Competition: The combination of Paramount+, HBO Max and Pluto creates a highly competitive DTC business that expands both consumer choice and opportunities for creative talent and labor. The deal will deliver compelling value for both content suppliers and consumers – establishing another strong, credible competitor in today’s streaming marketplace. • Transaction Supports a Competitive Theatrical and Content Distribution Ecosystem: o Every film will receive a full theatrical release, with a minimum 45-day window globally before becoming available on paid video-on-demand (VOD), with the intention of 60-90 days or more to maximize the audience for our most successful releases. o Both studios will continue to support a vibrant third-party ecosystem by licensing their films and shows across their own and third-party platforms, while remaining active buyers of content from third-party studios and independent producers. o Following its theatrical run, each film will transition to the current industry standard home video window, preserving paid video-on-demand prior to availability on subscription streaming services. o Paramount will continue to adhere to specific windowing regimes in geographies it operates in, including in France where Paramount maintains its windowing commitments. • A Compelling Portfolio of IP and Content: The combined company will own a film library of more than 15,000 titles and thousands of hours of television programming. It will be home to many of the world’s most iconic and enduring franchises, including Harry Potter, Mission Impossible, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, the DC Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Star Trek and SpongeBob SquarePants. • Broad Sports Rights Portfolio: The merged company will hold one of the industry’s most compelling and competitive portfolios of sports rights, including: the NFL, Olympics, UFC, PGA Tour, NHL, Big Ten and Big 12 Football, NCAA College Basketball, and Champions League, with the ability to distribute these rights collectively across all of our platforms, thereby giving sports fans easier access to more of the content they want in one place.

• Stronger Linear Networks: A complementary portfolio of cable networks spanning entertainment, sports and news will significantly improve cash flow, unlock efficiencies, and strengthen our ability to manage linear market pressures. It also creates a more compelling, unified platform for advertisers through integrated cross-channel sales and activation opportunities. • Diverse International Portfolio: A presence in over 200 countries and territories, including cable and free-to-air networks, that will provide more opportunities for world class storytelling – including local production – to be seen globally and allow us to continue to serve local audiences around the world with the best stories across TV, film, sports, and news. • Technology to Create Stronger Infrastructure Backbone and Improved User Interface: By streamlining the technological underpinning of every aspect of the combined company’s businesses, we will improve the user experience, generate financial and operating efficiencies and eliminate redundancies. • Well-Positioned to Invest in Growth: The pro forma balance sheet and cash flow will enable continued investment in growth initiatives, as demonstrated by the marquee deals announced by Paramount since the close of the Skydance merger, including: Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park, the UFC, the Duffer Brothers and Activision, among others. The combined company’s resources and backing of Paramount’s committed investors will support increased investment in content generation, reinvigorating the media industry and enhancing competition to the benefit of talent and labor. Transaction Highlights Paramount will acquire 100% of WBD for $31 per share in cash, plus the “ticking fee”, valuing WBD at $81 billion in equity value and $110 billion in enterprise value. Paramount expects that the acquisition will yield over $6 billion in synergies, which are driven by a combination of: technology integration (such as migrating the combined company to a single enterprise resource planning system and consolidating streaming technology stacks), corporate-wide efficiencies, including procurement savings, optimizing the combined real estate footprint, and otherwise streamlining operational efficiencies. On a fully synergized basis, this values WBD at 7.5x 2026 EBITDA. At closing, we expect to have a net debt-to-EBITDA of 4.3x on a synergized basis, with a clear path to investment grade credit metrics within three years of closing. The transaction is funded by $47 billion in equity, fully backed by the Ellison Family and RedBird Capital Partners. At closing, the equity may include other strategic and financial partners. Under the terms of the equity commitments, new shares of Class B Paramount stock will be issued at a price of $16.02 per share. The terms of this equity investment were decided by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Paramount comprised of independent directors with independent legal and financial advisors. In addition to the new cash equity investment, the transaction is backed by $54 billion of debt commitments from Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo, which includes $15 billion to backstop WBD’s existing bridge facility and $39 billion of incremental new debt. The $54 billion excludes $3.5 billion of bridge financing from these institutions to backstop our existing $3.5 billion revolving credit facility. In addition, existing Paramount stockholders will have the opportunity to participate in a rights offering of up to $3.25 billion of Class B Paramount stock alongside the new equity investment, which is expected to occur nearer the closing date, at a price of $16.02 per share. The proposed transaction between Paramount and WBD is not subject to any financing conditions.
