WASHINGTON: Film producer David Ellison’s offer for Paramount Global includes an option for non-voting shareholders to cash out a portion of their stock for about US$15 a share, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The offer, a roughly 26% premium to last Friday’s closing price, is for only some of the shares, according to the person, who asked to not be identified because the discussions aren’t public.
