  "account": "A majority of Fox and Roku shareholders have approved the $22 billion acquisition by Fox, according to early vote results from the companies' special meetings on Wednesday. The final vote count will be disclosed later in SEC filings. The Department of Justice has requested additional information for a second time, extending the review period until 30 days after both companies have met the request's requirements, unless the DOJ terminates the waiting period earlier or the merging companies extend it further. Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch described the deal as a \"transformative transaction\" that merges Fox's \"high-impact live sports and news content\" with Roku's \"leading streaming distribution and technology platform.\" If regulators approve the merger, Fox would become the third-largest media distributor in the U.S., behind YouTube and the combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery, which was renamed Skydance. Roku would retain approximately 27% ownership of Fox after the deal, while Fox shareholders would own 73%. The merger is scheduled to close in the first half of 2027, pending satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.",
