July 8 (Reuters) – Paramount has said it will not close its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros before July 22, the Oregon attorney general’s office said, pushing out the timeline for the deal’s closure by an additional week.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield’s office is asking a court in Multnomah County on Wednesday to order the company to hand over records and delay the deal by 60 days so the state can review them.
Paramount had previously told Oregon that it would not close the deal before July 16, Rayfield’s office said. At a preliminary hearing on the state’s request on Wednesday, the company amended that timeline, his office said.
