Traders should view the ACCC clearance and the accumulating international approvals as reducing deal-risk tail. The 14-day waiting period ending June 23 is the next milestone; final U.S. and other major jurisdiction clearances remain. Expect reduced volatility on deal spread as regulatory path becomes clearer.

Executive Summary
Paramount Skydance (PSKY) disclosed that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) cleared its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, subject to a 14-day waiting period expiring June 23, 2026. Separately, New Zealand's Commerce Commission declined to review the deal, and additional regulatory approvals were received from Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Serbia, North Macedonia, and several European FDI authorities. This clears key international hurdles for the pending WBD merger.
