派拉蒙天舞与12州达成和解，1100亿美元收购华纳兄弟扫清障碍
派拉蒙天舞公司9月21日宣布，已与美国加利福尼亚州及其他11个州达成和解协议。这些州此前曾提起诉讼，试图阻止该公司与华纳兄弟探索公司之间价值1100亿美元的合并交易；此次和解为这两大好莱坞巨头的合并扫清了关键障碍。加州总检察长罗布·邦塔在洛杉矶的新闻发布会上宣布了这一消息。
若交易达成，合并后的公司将成为娱乐行业规模最大、实力最强的公司之一，旗下将同时拥有派拉蒙和华纳兄弟的制片厂业务，以及CNN和CBS两大新闻机构。合并后的公司命名为Skydance，股票已于10月6日从纳斯达克转至纽交所挂牌交易。
这笔交易将重塑好莱坞格局，也标志着传统媒体巨头抱团应对流媒体时代的最新动作。
Paramount Skydance Settles With 12 States, Clearing Path for $110B Warner Bros. Deal
Paramount Skydance announced September 21 it has reached a settlement with California and 11 other states that had sued to block its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The deal clears a key hurdle for the Hollywood mega-merger. California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the settlement at a Los Angeles press conference.
If completed, the combined company would be one of the largest and most powerful in entertainment, uniting the Paramount and Warner Bros. studios plus news giants CNN and CBS. The merged company is named Skydance, and its shares moved from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange on October 6.
The deal would reshape Hollywood and marks traditional media giants' latest move to band together for the streaming era.
