Paramount-Skydance on Monday asked a U.S. judge to require about a dozen states suing to block its $110bn acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD.O) to post a $1.88bn bond to cover costs from the delayed close. The company says it would incur $7m of delay costs per day if the merger fails to close by Sept. 30.
