Dow Jones01-08

0936 ET - Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders should rest easy about the certainty of the debt financing included in Paramount's acquisition bid, Paramount says in a statement. The financing comes from "global sophisticated financial institutions," including Bank of America, Citibank and Apollo, which have "decades of experience financing companies and borrowers in history's largest, most complicated transactions," Paramount says. Warner expressed doubt yesterday about whether that financing would remain in place through the transaction's close. But Paramount says that those institutions have confirmed that their financing commitments remain "in full force and effect." (nicholas.miller@wsj.com)
