Significant events

• “Paramount, Skydance Media, LLC ("Skydance") and other parties entered into a definitive transaction agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") pursuant to which Paramount and Skydance will become subsidiaries of a new holding company (the "Skydance Merger"). Concurrent with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, certain affiliates of existing investors of Skydance (the "Skydance Investor Group"), including members of the Ellison family and affiliates of RedBird Capital Partners, entered into an agreement with National Amusements, Inc. ("NAI"), the controlling stockholder of the Company, to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests of NAI (the "NAI Transaction") (together with the Skydance Merger, the "Skydance Transactions"). The Skydance transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and are expected to close mid 2025.”
• “In June 2023, the High Court judged that amendments made to the Virgin Media Limited defined benefit pension scheme were invalid because the scheme's actuary did not provide the necessary associated Section 37 certificate. The High Court's decision had wide ranging implications, affecting other schemes that were contracted-out on a salary-related basis, and made amendments between April 1997 and April 2016.”
• “The Court of Appeal upheld the 2023 High Court ruling in July 2024 and there are plans to progress investigations into any potential impact for the Company's defined benefit pension schemes.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
