2026年2月下旬，围绕好莱坞传统制片厂华纳兄弟探索公司的控制权争夺战再度升级。派拉蒙环球旗下 天舞传媒于24日向华纳董事会提交了修订后的收购提案，将全现金收购报价提高至每股31美元，并增设 了包括延期补偿金、承担竞争对手分手费在内的一系列强有力的交易保护条款。此举使得这场本已陷入 僵局的数百亿美元并购战重新燃起硝烟，也迫使原本已达成收购协议的奈飞面临是否跟进的艰难抉择。 然而，此次提案的杀手锏在于其近乎"全险"的交易保障条款。派拉蒙承诺，若因监管原因导致交易失 败，其将向华纳支付的"监管终止费"从58亿美元大幅提高至70亿美元。这笔费用相当于派拉蒙一年的营 收，展现了其志在必得的决心。 更为激进的是，派拉蒙还承诺，若华纳为接受其报价而终止与奈飞的现有协议，派拉蒙将代为承担华纳 需向奈飞支付的约28亿美元"分手费"。 此外，针对交易可能面临的长时间审批，提案新增了"延期补偿金"条款：若交易在2026年9月30日后仍 未完成，派拉蒙将向华纳股东每季度额外支付每股0.25美元的补偿，直至交易完成。 从交易规模看，派拉蒙此次提出的是针对整个华纳兄弟探索公司的全资产收购，此前披露的含债务估值 约为1080亿美元。而奈 ...
