Paramount Global is facing a significant shakeup with the Skydance consortium's offer, which would grant them a 45-50% stake in the company. The board is navigating complex decisions to balance shareholder interests, particularly concerning Shari Redstone's influence. While Redstone stands to gain cash, nonvoting shareholders may receive stock in the combined company but face dilution. National Amusements is set to profit $2 billion, contrasting with potential dilution for public PARA shareholders.
