WBD entered a tax reimbursement agreement with CEO David Zaslav on Mar 10, 2026: if he incurs an excise tax under the Code on any Merger‑related payment, he’ll be reimbursed to restore his net after‑tax position. Agreement tied to PSKY merger; void if deal ends. $WBD 📄🤝 #M&A #CorpGov
The potential reimbursement amount is unknown—depends on closing date, Code mechanics, termination within 12 months and mitigation strategies. Tax advisors say time may cut exposure; a 2027 close would likely yield no payment. $WBD ⏳🧾 #Tax #M&A
Compensation Committee weighed that (1) any reimbursement cost would be borne by the surviving corporation, (2) Zaslav faces higher excise‑tax risk vs. the prior Netflix proposal, and (3) he agreed to cooperate on mitigation. $WBD ⚖️ #CorporateGovernance #M&A
