News Summary:

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders approved the proposed acquisition of its media brands by Paramount Skydance on April 25, 2026, with the company noting "extremely" supportive shareholders following a special meeting. Regulatory hurdles, however, still remain for the estimated $111 billion deal. Earlier on April 25, former President Donald Trump spoke for nearly an hour at a dinner hosted by David Ellison in Washington D.C., an event that also "honored" Trump and recognized CBS News’ White House reporters. Ellison, a billionaire media mogul and head of Paramount Skydance, organized the gathering as his company seeks regulatory approval from the Trump administration's Justice Department for the Warner Bros. takeover. Previously, on April 24, filings revealed that recently departed Paramount President Jeff Shell's 2025 compensation package totaled $60.7 million, including $1.4 million in base salary and $58.7 million in stock awards, while CEO David Ellison's compensation reached $63.2 million.
