William Cohan：Paramount与Skydance的合并交易取决于Shari Redstone的批准，交易结构复杂，包含多个步骤：收购Redstone家族的控股公司，Paramount收购Skydance，外部投资者注资并回购部分股票。Shari Redstone可能要求少数股东投票批准，这将成为交易的阻碍。双重股权结构导致交易混乱，Shari Redstone获得的溢价过高，普通股东可能提起诉讼。新管理层承诺提高股价，但交易存在不确定性。媒体公司投资存在风险，但潜在的成本削减和并购机会可能带来回报。 Ed Elson：就Paramount交易的复杂性以及Shari Redstone可能否决交易提出了疑问。 Scott Galloway：对Paramount交易的价值和潜在风险进行了分析，并讨论了交易中涉及的私募股权公司和媒体公司之间的动态。
