A special committee of Paramount's board elected "to pursue the bird in hand," rather than chase a deal "that might not actually come to fruition," said the person with knowledge of the board's action, adding that the period of exclusivity for discussions will run for 30 days. Two people familiar with Apollo's offer described it as "extremely preliminary," noting that it was not the result of negotiations or diligence, but rather to "stall" any deal with Skydance.
