Paramount seeks $1.88 billion bond from state AGs over WBD merger delay

Paramount is seeking a $1.88 billion bond from state attorneys general to cover costs arising from a court-imposed delay to its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The company agreed to push back the deal to as late as June 2027 while the state AGs' lawsuit heads to trial. The bond request aims to secure Paramount against financial losses during the extended legal proceedings.
