The company’s auction process is reported to be approaching its final phase, with a conclusion expected in the coming days or weeks.

According to reports, bankers representing Paramount Skydance, Comcast and Netflix worked through the weekend to prepare strengthened offers for the media group.

The revised bids form part of an increasingly competitive process as potential buyers seek to secure the company’s extensive entertainment assets.

Further details on the individual offers have not been disclosed, but the heightened activity suggests that the negotiations are entering a decisive stage.
