[MARKET BIAS: NEUTRAL] [SESSION: AFTER_HOURS] [CATALYST: REGULATORY/DEAL EXTENSION] Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ: PSKY) announced on July 31, 2026, that it has extended the expiration dates for its previously launched exchange and tender offers on specified notes. The offers, which were first announced and have seen multiple prior extensions, are now set to expire on August 14, 2026. This latest delay aims to coordinate the settlement dates of these offers with the expected closing of Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ($WBD+WL). As of July 30, 2026, approximately 66.05% of the aggregate principal amount of existing tender offer notes and 76.26% of existing exchange offer notes had been tendered. The company noted that these figures are not considered representative of final results due to the ongoing extension strategy tied to the acquisition's completion.
