Paramount Files for FCC Approval of Foreign Investors in Warner Bros. Deal
Paramount has filed with the FCC for approval of foreign investors in its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The foreign investments, from Gulf sovereign wealth funds, will fall below 50% of Paramount's equity, with voting control remaining with CEO David Ellison's family. The deal is expected to close in Q3 2026, but faces regulatory scrutiny from the DOJ and potential penalties if blocked.
