Here’s What Stands in the Way of the Paramount-WBD Merger

Paramount faces a deadline to complete the deal, as they’ll be charged 25 cents per share each quarter by Warner Bros. Discovery if it’s not finalized by September 30th. If the deal falls through completely, Paramount would have to pay Warner Bros. a hefty $7 billion termination fee. To understand the potential obstacles that could delay or even stop the deal, Vulture consulted Alvaro Bedoya, a former Federal Trade Commissioner, and Corey Martin, head of entertainment finance at Granderson Des Rochers, LLP.
