This aims to address Warner Bros board's doubts on Paramount's deal financing and lack of full backing from the Ellison family, which led the company to prefer a cash-and-stock deal with Netflix.

Paramount said the amended terms do not change the $30-per-share all-cash offer. Warner Bros shares rose nearly 4% in premarket trading, while Paramount Skydance added about 3%.

Warner Bros and Netflix did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
