Quotable

“We’ve said mid-year. Could it accelerate and happen earlier? Entirely possible. It could also possibly slip. My view is right now… we’re doing exactly what we expected… We filed our S-4, we’ll get some indications of what’s going on there. I think that now clears the way for us to move into the Discovery shareholder vote which, of course, needs to occur. You saw that the EU cleared this without any concerns. I would say that if you think about the company’s holdings in the EU versus elsewhere in the world, there shouldn’t be anything that jumps out that says gosh… that’s going to be a problem.
