SPECIAL DAY! Is there an INDICATOR that you are a 4K BASKET CASE?!? Only the GERMAN knows for SURE! #151

EXCLUSIVE: Sony won't be among the rivals trying to shore up a better offer during Paramount Global's "Go Shop" period following David Ellison's $8 billion bid for Skydance Media, according to sources tonight.

This news formally nullifies the only other confirmed bid on the table to acquire Paramount.

Sony and Apollo jointly made a preliminary offer of $26 billion after a solo bid from Apollo was rejected. They then signed a nondisclosure agreement and began due diligence shortly after Paramount's exclusive negotiating period with Skydance ended.
