Paramount may exit California if antitrust merger talks with state AG fail by Oct 1

Paramount CEO David Ellison warned top executives that the company will begin exiting California on October 1 if State Attorney General Rob Bonta does not negotiate a settlement for the antitrust lawsuit blocking its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The lawsuit, led by Bonta and 20 other state attorneys general, challenges the merger on antitrust grounds related to film releases and cable programming, with trial set for March 2027. Paramount faces a $7 million daily fee starting October 1 if the merger is not closed, and Ellison has expressed frustration with the hostile environment in California, though he prefers not to relocate. The merger has been approved by federal and international regulators but remains contested in California courts.
