News Summary:

On September 10, 2026, Fox and Roku urged shareholders to meticulously review the registration statement, definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus, and all other pertinent SEC documents related to their proposed transaction. Concurrently, The Roku Channel ascended to become the fourth most-watched streaming service in the United States, excluding YouTube, according to Nielsen’s July 2026 Gauge and Media Distributor Gauge reports. Previously, on September 9, Fox Corp. President and Chief Operating Officer John Nallen affirmed that the company's $22 billion acquisition of Roku was progressing as planned, despite a new information request from regulators. This statement followed news earlier that day that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) planned a "second request" for more information regarding the proposed $22 billion merger, with competitive concerns reportedly centering on free streaming channels such as Tubi and The Roku Channel. Communications-services companies also saw declines that day as traders retreated from consumer-sensitive sectors, coinciding with the DOJ's increased scrutiny of the Fox-Roku deal.
