Paramount-WBD Merger May Not Be Approved In U.K.

The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger may not receive UK clearance, by the deadline of September 30, Deadline reports. The House of Commons has gone into recess, and it is not yet known
whether UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy will issue a “public interest intervention notice,” which would lead to investigations. The merger could close without UK support, but
Paramount intends to respect the U.K. process.
