Paramount Skydance has indicated that while the timing for the closing of its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery remains "not yet certain," the company is actively preparing for the transaction to conclude within the next few weeks. The statement was made in an SEC filing released on Friday, which also outlined specific next steps regarding shareholder warrants tied to the deal.
In the filing, Paramount disclosed that its board of directors determined on September 25 to voluntarily withdraw the listing of its Class B common stock. This procedural move is part of the broader corporate restructuring associated with the pending merger between the two major entertainment conglomerates.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the final closing date, Paramount has penciled in October 5 as the date to issue warrants to PSKY shareholders. These warrants are directly tied to the Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) merger and represent a key component of the financial structure agreed upon by the parties.
The $111 billion agreement represents one of the largest transactions in the history of the entertainment industry. While the deal is not yet finalized, the company's recent filings suggest that regulatory and internal processes are advancing toward a resolution in the near term.
