for as much as $1.62 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. Paramount Global, the owner of CBS, Paramount+ and Nickelodeon, is expected to report its second-quarter earnings Monday afternoon.

Paramount Global declined to make executives available for comment. Its Class B shares were up more than 2.5% in early trading Monday. The deal will mark the second time Paramount has tried to dispose of Simon & Schuster, which has published everyone from Ernest Hemmingway to Walter Isaacson.

The transaction was blocked by federal regulators who believed the buyer was already too big and would dominate the publishing industry.
