Nearly $24 billion: Paramount's Ellison family signed deals to receive nearly $24B from three Saudi wealth funds to help back its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The financing materially increases the likelihood the Ellisons can fund the WBD takeover and is likely to be sector-moving for media & entertainment and key counterparties. The scale of sovereign capital support ($24B) also raises potential for regulatory and geopolitical scrutiny around the transaction.
