The agreement with US states includes a requirement tied to annual film production.
The company could avoid a $7 million daily fee if the merger closes by September 30.
The deal would resolve an antitrust lawsuit that had threatened to delay the acquisition until mid-2027, according to reports cited by CNBC.

The $110 billion takeover can advance under commitments covering film production, jobs and editorial independence.

The agreement resolves a lawsuit brought by 12 states and a separate dispute involving the Writers Guild of America.

A settlement could help Paramount avoid paying millions of dollars in fees to Warner Bros. shareholders, according to a Reuters report.
