Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported3m ago
Paramount Skydance has reached a settlement with a dozen US states and the Writers Guild of America to resolve major antitrust lawsuits. The legal challenges had previously threatened to block the company's massive $111 billion buyout of Warner Bros. Discovery.
California's Attorney General noted that while the settlement successfully addresses concerns regarding market competition and consumer protection, it does not imply a final vote or approval regarding the overarching acquisition process.
