"Any merger talks that forego competitive bidding in favor of an exclusive discussion with a single buyer, particularly where the reported control premium differentiates the financial position of a single shareholder over all other shareholders, is averse to the fair market value of a company," Ariel said in a statement.

Deal talks between Skydance and Paramount have advanced to due diligence, which begins next week, sources said. Billionaire investor Mario Gabelli told Reuters he expects the investors who own the remaining 10 million voting shares to be treated equally. Gabelli Funds owns 11.76% of Class A voting shares of Paramount, according to LSEG.
