<div id="readability-page-1">Dec 4 (Reuters) - Netflix ( NFLX ) is in exclusive talks to buy Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD ) film and television studios along with its streaming assets, in a deal valued at $28 per share that could reshape the media landscape, a source told Reuters on Thursday. The streaming giant's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD ) studios and streaming unit is expected to reduce streaming costs for consumers by bundling Netflix ( NFLX ) and HBO Max. Netflix ( NFLX ) has emerged as the top bidder for Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) assets, Reuters reported earlier in the day. Bloomberg News reported that Netflix ( NFLX ) has offered a $5 billion breakup fee if regulators block the deal. The report added that the companies could announce the agreement within days. CNBC said earlier that Netflix ( NFLX ) had presented a proposal consisting of 85% cash for the assets it seeks to acquire. Netflix ( NFLX ) and Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) did not immediately respond when contacted by Reuters for comment on the CNBC and Bloomberg reports. The news of a potential deal has prompted a consortium of leading film industry figures to urge the U.S. Congress to intervene if Netflix's ( NFLX ) bid succeeds, warning of looming economic and institutional crisis in Hollywood, Variety reported. Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) is seeking another round of bids from suitors by the end of Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal, after Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ) reportedly accused Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) of running an unfair sale process that favors Netflix ( NFLX ) over other bidders. Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) reportedly received sweetened offers from potential bidders - Paramount, Comcast ( CMCSA ) and Netflix ( NFLX ) - earlier this week after it asked them to improve on initial bids submitted in late November. In the letter to Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) CEO David Zaslav, Paramount's legal team has raised concerns over the &#34;fairness and adequacy&#34; of the bidding process, citing media reports that indicate Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD ) management favors Netflix's ( NFLX ) proposal, according to a copy of the letter seen by Reuters. David Ellison-led Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ) has requested confirmation on whether Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) has formed an independent special committee of unbiased board members to evaluate offers and oversee the sale process, according to the letter. &#34;We strongly urge you to empower such a special committee comprised of directors with no potential appearance of bias or beholdenness to others whose interests may differ from those of the stockholders,&#34; Paramount's legal team said in the letter. Paramount and Comcast ( CMCSA ) did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Paramount has sought to purchase the entire company. In October, the Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) board had turned down a roughly $60 billion bid from Paramount and subsequently launched a formal sales process.
