CNBC's David Faber delivers his latest Faber Report.

Despite a recent competing offer from Apollo Global Management and Sony Pictures, all signs are pointing to a merger between Paramount and Skydance. Earlier today, CNBC's David Faber reported that both sides have agreed on the terms of a merger – with an announcement expected within the next few days.

In turn, Skydance would purchase close to 50% of Class B Paramount shares – reportedly at $15/share – which leaves the holders with equity in the new company that takes shape. In addition, $1.5 billion in cash will go from Skydance and RedBird Capital to Paramount to help reduce its debt. Once the deal is finalized and the dust has settled, Skydance and RedBird Capital will be the proud owners of two-thirds of Paramount – with Class B shareholders controlling the other third.
