Paramount–Warner Bros Move Closer to Settlement as Shares Jump, but Deal Remains Unresolved
🎬 Paramount and California are moving deeper into settlement talks over the Warner Bros acquisition. The package under discussion includes roughly $1.5 billion in California production investment, retaining the studio lots, and a commitment to release 30 films per year.
📈 WBD rose 7.9% and PSKY gained 6.8% in Monday premarket trading as investors raised expectations that the legal hurdle could be eased. The move mainly reflects new details from weekend negotiations, not confirmation that the transaction has been completed.
⏳ Time pressure is increasing, as Paramount could be required to pay roughly $7 million per day to WBD shareholders from October 1 if the deal remains delayed. California’s attorney general has not confirmed the reported terms, and no formal settlement has been announced.
