European Union regulators have launched a foreign-subsidy review of Paramount Skydance Corp.’s proposed $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., examining the role of state-backed Middle Eastern funds in financing the transaction.
The European Commission said in a June 10 filing that it is reviewing the transaction under the bloc’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) and has set a provisional deadline of July 14 for an initial decision.
