Also on August 7, 2025, certain affiliates of existing investors of Skydance, including entities controlled by members of the Ellison family, and affiliates of RedBird Capital Partners, purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of National Amusements, Inc. ("NAI"). Upon the closing of these transactions, NAI (renamed Harbor Lights Entertainment, Inc.), which had previously been the controlling stockholder of Paramount Global, became the controlling stockholder of Paramount Skydance Corporation. Shares of Paramount Skydance Corporation's Class B common stock now trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "PSKY". All shares of Paramount Global Class A and Class B common stock have been delisted from Nasdaq and no longer exist.”

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
