Acquisitions

Summary

Paramount Skydance expects state attorneys general to move against its $81 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. The company believes California and New York will argue that the deal violates antitrust rules. The article says the federal DOJ already approved the merger, but state-level lawsuits could still delay or block closing. That legal uncertainty may force the companies to spend more time and money defending the transaction and planning for integration. It also highlights the broader job-cut and restructuring pressure already facing Warner Bros. Discovery.
