The Viacom board approved the purchase of DreamWorks on Thursday.

The Viacom board must approve any revision of the merger, by a majority.

In 2003, he was removed from the Viacom board.

The company split was approved by the Viacom board on June 14, 2005.

And several other executives said they believed the Viacom board would be meeting on Sunday.

It came a day after the Viacom board urged them to end their personal conflict for the good of the company.

On June 14, 2005, the Viacom board of directors approved the split of the company into two firms.

And he argued that the decision to bring in Mr. Dauman as chief executive was made by the entire Viacom board.

While National Amusements would obviously like to get the highest price possible for the shares, it must sell under the program initiated by the Viacom board.

Either way, H. Wayne Huizenga, the chairman and chief executive of Blockbuster, will get a seat on the Viacom board.
