Netflix’s plan would give the streaming giant ownership of Warner Bros’ rich library, which includes franchises such as Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, as well as streaming service HBO Max.
It has offered to pay $27.75 per share for the streaming and film businesses, or roughly $72bn (£54bn), a price that remains unchanged.
The transaction, including debt, values the enterprise at roughly $82bn (£61bn).
Warner Bros shareholders will also receive shares in the other parts of Warner Bros, including news channel CNN, which are set to be spun off as a separate, publicly traded company.
Paramount, which is backed by tech billionaire Larry Ellison and his family, has argued that those networks are worth far less than Warner Bros is hoping, meaning its $30-per-share, or $108bn (£80bn) overall, offer for the company is superior.
It has kept up its campaign to buy the firm, recently suing Warner Bros to compel the company to release the financial details of the Netflix offer.
The leadership at Warner Bros has stuck by Netflix for now, questioning how Paramount is putting together the money to finance its deal.
“Our amended agreement with Netflix is a testament to the board’s unrelenting focus on representing and advancing our stockholders’ interests,” said Samuel Di Piazza, Jr, chair of the Warner Bros Discovery board of directors.
He said transitioning to an all-cash offer means the board can “deliver the incredible value of our combination with Netflix at even greater levels of certainty”, while allowing Warner Bros shareholders to benefit from the spinoff of its other brands.
