Oregon Drops Motion to Delay $110B Paramount-WBD Merger
PSKY is trading near its 52-week low of $8.615 (9.0% above the low).
Summary
Oregon's attorney general withdrew a court motion that sought to delay the $110 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger by 60 days. The state had demanded documents related to regulatory lobbying and internal code-named efforts, but Paramount refused to comply, prompting the withdrawal. A Paramount spokesperson called the merger lawful and pro-competitive. This removes a near-term legal obstacle, though the article notes other states could sue to block the deal as early as next week. The merger has already secured key antitrust clearances from the U.S., China, Canada, and others, as reported in recent 8-K filings. The withdrawal reduces uncertainty around the July 22 timeline and signals momentum toward closing.
At the time of this announcement, PSKY was trading at $9.39 on NASDAQ in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $10.5B.
