04:22 PM EDT, 08/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ) said on Friday it has satisfied all regulatory clearances required under its merger agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ) , following an eight-month review spanning 68 countries.

Mexico, the most recent jurisdiction to clear the deal, announced its approval Friday, the company said.

A lawsuit brought by California and 11 other state attorneys general remains the sole outstanding obstacle to closing the transaction, Paramount Chief Executive David Ellison said in a statement.

Paramount remains open to working with the state AGs to reach a settlement and resolve the litigation, Ellison added.
