A US federal judge has issued an order allowing Paramount to proceed with its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. The decision, handed down by US District Court Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín on Wednesday following an approval dated September 21, resolves a months-long holdup that had delayed the massive media merger.
In conjunction with the court clearance, Paramount announced leadership changes for the combined entity. Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz has been appointed as co-CEO alongside David Ellison. Kreiz, a veteran executive, is set to run the day-to-day operations of the newly combined business alongside Ellison.
