The Oregon Attorney General's Office stated that it will file a request with the court to delay the completion date of the Paramount Global deal by 60 days.

This move aims to provide the state with the necessary window of time to review the records of the relevant companies. This legal action means that the highly anticipated media industry merger may face new procedural obstacles. The state government hopes to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the potential impact of the transaction on the market and consumers by examining internal documents. At present, the specific terms and timetable of the deal have not been adjusted due to this potential request. Legal experts point out that although such review procedures are not common, they reflect the increasingly cautious stance of regulators in large-scale corporate mergers.
