Summary
Paramount Skydance disclosed a wave of international regulatory approvals for its pending merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, announced in February 2026. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission cleared the transaction on June 9, 2026, subject to a 14-day waiting period ending June 23.
The ACCC found the merged entity would remain constrained by other major studios and that Paramount and Warner Brothers are not particularly close competitors in theatrical film distribution. New Zealand's Commerce Commission separately indicated it will not pursue further review.
In recent weeks, the company also secured approvals from competition authorities in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Serbia, and North Macedonia, plus foreign direct investment clearances in eight European jurisdictions (Germany, Slovenia, Belgium, Czechia, Italy, France, Romania) and New Zealand. These clearances represent meaningful progress toward satisfying the regulatory closing conditions for the merger. Retail holders should monitor whether the Australian waiting period expires without challenge on June 23 and whether any remaining major jurisdictions (such as the U.S. or EU) issue decisions in the coming weeks.
