\n\tAs Paramount Skydance\u2019s deal to take over Warner Bros. Discovery is still pending, WBD CEO David Zaslav is continuing to cash out his stock in the company he is set to depart in the coming months.<\/p>\n

\n\tZaslav filed to sell about 2.18 million shares of Warner Bros. Discovery stock, valued at $59.47 million, according to an SEC filing Monday. That comes after Zaslav filed to sell $114 million worth of WBD stock in March. <\/p>\n

\n\tOnce Paramount Skydance\u2019s megadeal to buy WBD closes, Zaslav is poised to walk away with a golden parachute package that Warner Bros. Discovery this spring had pegged as being worth more than half a billion dollars. With the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery to Paramount, Zaslav will have a\u00a0net worth that has been estimated to be more than $1 billion. <\/p>\n

\n\tZaslav has been among the highest-compensation CEOs in the media biz. In 2025, his pay package totaled $165 million, including $3 million base salary, $22.6 million in stock, a $25.7 million cash bonus and stock options valued at $109.6 million, according to a company SEC filing. In purely symbolic moves, WBD shareholders voted against Zaslav\u2019s exit pay package and his 2025 compensation.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn late 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery had clinched a deal with Netflix to buy Warner Bros.\u2019s streaming and studios businesses. But Netflix backed out of the bidding in February after\u00a0Paramount upped its takeout offer for all of WBD in a deal worth $111 billion. Paramount has said it expects to close the WBD deal in the third quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeparately Monday, a coalition of 12 Democratic state attorneys general sued to block the David Ellison-led Paramount\u2019s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery on antitrust grounds. Paramount says it will \u201cvigorously defend the transaction\u201d and claimed that the states\u2019 lawsuit will \u201cshield those dominant streaming platforms like\u00a0Netflix\u00a0and technology companies from much-needed competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Paramount-WBD deal is still pending\u00a0regulatory approval in the U.K., where officials have said they are likely to intervene. According to Paramount, the Warner Bros. mergers has been cleared by regulators in 24 jurisdictions, including by the U.S. Justice Department, which did not impose any requirements for divestitures or other concessions on the part of Paramount Skydance.<\/p>\n
