Procedural Milestone: January 16, 2026 Hearing
The hearing scheduled for January 16, 2026 at 9:00 AM AST before the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court’s High Court of Justice in Antigua & Barbuda represents a critical procedural milestone in the live proceedings currently on the court record. At that session, the Court will hear submissions on jurisdiction and reasonable cause of action, and will consider arguments directly tied to the matters now joined with regulatory notice.
This date is material to ongoing adjudication and to any risk analysis or regulatory review affecting the proposed Warner–Paramount transaction. Proceeding with irreversible corporate action before this hearing would risk preempting judicial determination, undermining due process, and complicating remedies, disclosure obligations, and market stability.
For regulators, trustees, boards, underwriters, and compliance officers, this procedural milestone is the threshold beyond which transaction deliberations should resume only after judicial clarity emerges from the January 16 proceeding.
