Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav Sells Company Stock Worth Nearly $60 Million as the Paramount Skydance Merger Faces Delays

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav sold approximately 2.2 million shares worth $59.5 million on July 13, 2026, through a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The sale occurred as a coalition of 12 U.S. states challenged the company's merger with Paramount Skydance on antitrust grounds. The merger was subsequently paused until June 2027, with potential financial penalties if the deal doesn't close by September 2026.
