Topline

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was offered a compensation package of “several hundred million dollars” if Paramount’s hostile takeover of the company was completed, according to a regulatory filing Wednesday, though he stands to earn just as much if a Netflix deal is approved.

Warner Bros. Discovery disclosed Zaslav would receive more than $500 million in equity if Netflix’s bid closes.

Key Facts

According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Zaslav told Warner Bros. Discovery’s board on Sept. 25 that Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison and Ellison’s father, billionaire Oracle chairman Larry Ellison, offered Zaslav a compensation package worth “several hundred million dollars.”

Zaslav told the board he informed the Ellisons that it would be “inappropriate to discuss any such arrangements at that time,” Warner Bros. Discovery disclosed.

The proposed pay deal came just a week after David Ellison pitched an initial offer to Zaslav for Paramount to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, according to the filing.

David Ellison offered Zaslav the roles of co-CEO and co-chair of the board of the combined company after Paramount submitted a second proposal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery on Sept. 30.

Big Number

$51.9 million. That’s how much Zaslav was compensated in Warner Bros. Discovery’s fiscal year 2024, according to the company.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume.

Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.
