Paramount Skydance Faces $190M in Bridge Costs if Warner Deal Delays Past June 2027

Paramount Skydance has outlined additional bridge financing costs that will kick in beyond September 30 if the transaction with Warner Bros Discovery remains unclosed. The company faces modest monthly fees of $8 million to $9 million for the bridge facility, alongside a separate bridge commitment fee due in June 2027.

The cumulative impact of these charges reaches approximately $190 million in incremental financing, according to the disclosure. This liability would only materialize if the merger is delayed until the June 2027 deadline.

The update underscores the financial drag of a prolonged closing process, though the bridge structure itself was designed to fund operations in the interim.
