Filing notes and footnotes

Section 16 status

Gerhard Zeiler is no longer subject to Section 16 filing requirements. Form 4 or Form 5 obligations may still apply in specific circumstances.

Explanation of responses 9 footnotes

Footnote F1

On October 6, 2026, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 27, 2026 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD"), Skydance Corporation (f/k/a Paramount Skydance Corporation) ("SKYD") and Prince Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SKYD ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into WBD, with WBD surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of SKYD (the "Merger").

Footnote F2

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of WBD's Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Series A Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $31.01666668 (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"), without interest.

Footnote F3

Under the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested restricted stock unit ("RSU") was cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) (a "Converted Cash Award") equal in value to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock subject to such RSU and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration. Each such Converted Cash Award so assumed and converted continues to have, and is subject to, the same vesting conditions as applied to the corresponding equity award from which it was converted immediately prior to the Effective Time, including "double trigger" termination protection.

Footnote F4

Under the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested performance restricted stock unit ("PRSU") that was previously certified upon achievement of the applicable performance metric was cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive a Converted Cash Award equal in value to the product of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (y) the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock subject to such PRSU, determined based on the previous certification by the compensation committee of WBD's board of directors. Each such Converted Cash Award so assumed and converted continues to have, and is subject to, the same vesting conditions (other than performance-vesting conditions rendered inoperative by the Merger) as applied to the corresponding equity award from which it was converted immediately prior to the Effective Time, including "double trigger" termination protection.

Footnote F5

Represents the number of shares of Series A Common Stock underlying unvested PRSUs that became earned in connection with the Merger, determined assuming the achievement of actual performance as of the Effective Time as determined by the compensation committee of WBD's board of directors and extrapolated through the end of the performance period (if greater than target performance).

Footnote F6

Under the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested PRSU that became earned in connection with the Merger was cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive a Converted Cash Award equal in value to the product of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (y) the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock subject to such PRSU, determined assuming achievement of actual performance as of the Effective Time as determined by the compensation committee of WBD's board of directors and extrapolated through the end of the performance period (if greater than target performance). Each such Converted Cash Award so assumed and converted continues to have, and is subject to, the same vesting conditions (other than performance-vesting conditions rendered inoperative by the Merger) as applied to the corresponding equity award from which it was converted immediately prior to the Effective Time, including "double trigger" termination protection.

Footnote F7

Under the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested option was cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive a Converted Cash Award equal in value to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock subject to such option and (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of the option. Each such Converted Cash Award so assumed and converted continues to have, and is subject to, the same vesting conditions as applied to the corresponding equity award from which it was converted immediately prior to the Effective Time, including "double trigger" termination protection.

Footnote F8

This option vests in three installments (33%, 33%, 34%) beginning on March 1, 2025.

Footnote F9

This option vests in three installments (33%, 33%, 34%) beginning on March 3, 2026.
