Font size

Now Paramount has reached a settlement with the 12 US states that sued the company in an attempt to block the purchase of Warner Bros.

A completed deal would mean that companies such as HBO, DC Comics, CNN and CBS end up under the same owner. The criticism was based on a concern that competition in the film and television market would decrease and that jobs would become fewer.

In the settlement, Paramount promises that it will invest in American film production and that, among other things, it will spend more money on production in California.

The deal is estimated to be worth $110 billion, including debt, and if the purchase goes through, it is described as one of the biggest media deals of all time.

Open Questions

When is the deal expected to close?
Will the other regulatory authorities approve the purchase?
