David Ellison's Skydance completed its acquisition of Paramount Global in 2025, combining the studio, CBS, and cable networks with a production company built around film franchises. The inherited problem is the one facing every legacy media owner: cable networks throw off cash while losing subscribers, and streaming consumes that cash while building an audience. Film and television libraries have value both as streaming inventory and as licensing revenue to competitors. Cost reduction and content strategy are the two levers management has signaled. Headquarters are in New York.

Equity comp at Paramount Skydance

  • Paramount Skydance's 2025 merger converted (not accelerated) employee equity: each outstanding Paramount RSU award was assumed by the new parent company and turned into an equivalent RSU award in the new stock, keeping the same vesting schedule and same terms for accelerated vesting on a qualifying termination. Performance-based RSUs (PSUs) for periods not yet finished were converted assuming target-level performance was met. Executives are covered by a Change in Control Severance Protection Plan that gives full, immediate vesting of outstanding equity awards only if the employee is terminated without cause, or resigns for good reason, within 6 months before or 24 months after a change in control.
  • RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.

A protective put caps your downside on the PSKY position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current PSKY option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Example: a 5,000-share PSKY position at $9.5 is worth $47,500. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $950 to $1,900) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off PSKY's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Paramount Skydance equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge PSKY stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and PSKY's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current PSKY option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Paramount Skydance grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Paramount Skydance typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Paramount Skydance RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
Yes. Paramount Skydance restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
