ExxonMobil to relocate legal domicile to Texas after shareholder approval

ExxonMobil shareholders approved moving the company’s legal domicile from New Jersey to Texas, aligning its legal home with its Texas-based operations to capitalize on a more business-friendly regulatory climate. The board-backed relocation faced warnings from advisory firms that it could hinder shareholder lawsuits, and underscores Texas’s growing appeal as a domicile for major companies (Exxon has a large Texas presence and about 75% of U.S. employees there).

WBD Shareholders Rebuff Zaslav Payout Even as Paramount Merger Advances

Warner Bros. Discovery said only 17% of shares represented approved CEO David Zaslav’s potentially $886 million merger-related payout at a special meeting (82% opposed), even as shareholders overwhelmingly supported the Paramount merger; the non-binding vote won’t stop the payout, and regulators are still reviewing the deal which is expected to close later this year.

Paramount Wins Shareholder OK for Warner Bros. Merger, Rejects Zaslav Pay Package

Paramount’s $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery won preliminary approval from WBD shareholders, who also rejected CEO David Zaslav’s lucrative pay package.

Paramount-Skydance bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery heads to shareholder vote

Paramount Skydance's $31-per-share bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery—covering CNN/TNT/Discovery Channel, HBO Max, and the Warner film studio—goes to a shareholder vote, with a $7 billion breakup fee and Netflix termination fee totaling about $2.8 billion. ISS backs the deal for its premium and liquidity, but stops short of supporting CEO David Zaslav's roughly $800 million golden parachute, which includes stock awards and an excise-tax gross-up. The deal, sparked by a bidding war and after Netflix walked away, is expected to close in Q3 pending regulatory approval.

WBD Sets April 23 Vote to OK Paramount Skydance Merger

Warner Bros. Discovery has scheduled a special meeting for April 23, 2026 at 10 a.m. ET for shareholders to vote on the $111 billion Paramount Skydance merger, which the WBD board unanimously supports. The deal would place Paramount Skydance in control of WBD’s assets (including HBO/Max, Warner Bros., DC, etc.) and is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, including DOJ clearance. Shareholders of record as of March 20, 2026 are eligible to vote after WBD began mailing the proxy statement. If the deal isn’t closed by Sept. 30, 2026, a ticking fee of $0.25 per share per quarter applies, potentially adding hundreds of millions to the price.
