LOS ANGELES, May 31 (Reuters) - Paramount Global's ( PARAA )
co-CEOs, CBS chief George Cheeks, MTV's Chris McCarthy,
and film studio head Brian Robbins, will lay out their strategy
next week, said an executive who spoke on condition of anonymity
on Friday.
The trio will host the town hall for its staff on June
5, according to an email seen by Reuters on Friday. The
all-hands meeting follows Paramount's annual shareholder meeting
on Tuesday.
The three Paramount executives were appointed to the
office of the CEO on April 29, following the departure of CEO
Bob Bakish, who was at odds with the company's controlling
shareholder, Shari Redstone.
The executives are attempting to chart a new course for the
company, even as an independent committee of the Paramount
Global ( PARAA ) board engages in deal talks with two separate groups of
suitors, Skydance Media and bid partners RedBird Capital and
KKR, and Sony Pictures entertainment and Apollo Global
Management ( APO ).
A Paramount spokesman did not respond to a request for
comment.
