Paramount Seeks $1.88B Bond in WBD Merger Antitrust Fight
TL;DR Summary
Paramount filed for a federal court bond of about $1.88 billion from the state attorneys general and the Writers Guild to cover ticking-fee and financing costs tied to its Paramount–WBD merger antitrust case, arguing that each day of delay costs roughly $7 million in ticking fees and that a March 2027 trial could push total costs higher; the bond would secure potential losses if the plaintiffs lose and help offset ongoing litigation expenses.
