Paramount Skydance agrees to halt Warner Bros. merger until as late as next June

The blockbuster deal will be paused while a federal judge considers an antitrust lawsuit filed by 12 state attorneys general.

www.nbcnews.com

Paramount executives had been eager to wrap up the deal as soon as possible partly because the company had agreed to pay Warner Bros. shareholders a “ticking fee” of 25 cents a share each quarter if the transaction did not close by Sept. 30 — a penalty worth more than $600 million every three months.

Paramount spokespeople did not reply to a request for comment Friday on the ticking fee
