This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion on December 4, 2019 of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 13, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between CBS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CBS”), and Viacom Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Viacom”), pursuant to which Viacom merged with and into CBS (the “Merger”), with CBS continuing as the surviving company. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the combined company changed its name to ViacomCBS Inc. (“ViacomCBS”).

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were previously described in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-234238) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by CBS with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 17, 2019, as amended on October 24, 2019, and declared effective by the SEC on October 25, 2019.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Merger with Viacom

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (1) each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Viacom (the “Viacom Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares held by Viacom as treasury shares or held by CBS, was converted automatically into 0.59625 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of ViacomCBS (the “ViacomCBS Class A Common Stock”) and (2) each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Viacom (the “Viacom Class B Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares held by Viacom as treasury shares or held by CBS, was converted automatically into 0.59625 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of ViacomCBS (the “ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock” and together with the ViacomCBS Class A Common Stock, the “ViacomCBS Common Stock”).

No fractional shares of ViacomCBS Common Stock were issued in connection with the Merger, and the stockholders of Viacom became entitled to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of ViacomCBS Common Stock.

At the Effective Time, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of CBS (the “CBS Class A Common Stock” and “CBS Class B Common Stock,” respectively) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time remained an issued and outstanding share of ViacomCBS Class A Common Stock and ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock, respectively, and was not affected by the Merger.

At the Effective Time, each Viacom stock option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted automatically into a ViacomCBS stock option, on the same terms and conditions, with respect to a number of shares of ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock equal to (1) the number of shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock subject to the Viacom stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) 0.59625 (with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price (rounded up to the nearest hundredths of a cent) equal to the exercise price of the stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by 0.59625.


Any award of time-based restricted stock units with respect to Viacom Class B Common Stock (a “Viacom RSU Award”) held by a non-employee member of the Viacom board of directors who will not serve on the ViacomCBS board of directors (the “ViacomCBS Board”) after the Effective Time vested immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, each other Viacom RSU Award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an award of time-based restricted stock units with respect to ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock (a “ViacomCBS RSU Award”), on the same terms and conditions, with respect to a number of shares of ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to (1) the number of shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock subject to the Viacom RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) 0.59625.

At the Effective Time, each award of performance-based restricted stock units with respect to Viacom Class B Common Stock (a “Viacom PSU Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted automatically into a ViacomCBS RSU Award, on the same terms and conditions, other than the requirement to achieve any performance goals, with respect to a number of shares of ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to (1) the number of shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock subject to the Viacom PSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time based on actual performance for any portion of such award for which the applicable performance period has been completed prior to the Effective Time, and otherwise target performance, multiplied by (2) 0.59625.

At the Effective Time, any cash amounts under the Viacom director nonqualified deferred compensation plan or any Viacom dividend equivalent arrangement that may be settled in shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock, or that track the value of a share of Viacom Class B Common Stock, was converted into a cash amount that may be settled in shares of ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock (unless the award, by its terms, is payable in cash). In addition, each notional unit with respect to shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock subject to a Viacom employee nonqualified deferred compensation plan was converted into a number of units with respect to ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock on the same terms and conditions, with respect to a number of shares of ViacomCBS Class B Common Stock equal to (1) the number of shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock subject to the notional unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) 0.59625.

At the Effective Time, each CBS equity award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time remained outstanding as a stock-based award of ViacomCBS and was not affected by the Merger except that (1) the number of underlying shares subject to a performance-based restricted stock unit with respect to CBS Class B Common Stock was fixed based on actual performance, if the applicable performance period had been completed prior to the Effective Time, or target performance, if the applicable performance period had not yet been completed prior to the Effective Time, and (2) awards held by non-employee members of the CBS board of directors who will not serve on the ViacomCBS Board vested immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Following the Effective Time, the Viacom Class A Common Stock and Viacom Class B Common Stock, which traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbols “VIA” and “VIAB,” respectively, prior to the Effective Time, ceased trading and will be delisted from Nasdaq.
