April 27 (Reuters) - Paramount is seeking approval from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to permit foreign investors to indirectly hold in excess of 25% of the company's equity after seeking foreign investment to help fund its acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery WBD.O, according to regulatory filings made public on Monday.

     A Paramount spokesperson said the filing is completely standard for investments such as the ones at issue and is not a condition to closing Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.
