Paramount Skydance Corporation filed an amended 2025 annual report detailing executive compensation and merger-related incentives. The filing outlines equity-heavy packages for top leadership, including sign-on restricted stock units (RSUs) that vest over five years.
CEO David Ellison received approval for new merger-related awards on April 24, 2026. These incentives include $50 million in cash. The package also includes $100 million in RSUs.
Payment and vesting are contingent on the successful closing of the merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The structure incentivizes leadership to finalize the transaction.
