According to Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, his family has been contacted “probably weekly” by those interested in acquiring a part of the team, of which the Yorks own 97%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, three of these interested parties submitted a formal offer. League sources indicate that the 49ers are in the process of finalizing the sale of more than 6% of the team to three Bay Area families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The valuation of the franchise in this transaction exceeds $8.5 billion, which would make it the highest for a sports franchise in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The buyers are the Khosla, Deeter, and Griffith families. The Khosla family will acquire 3.1%, the Deeters 2.1%, and the Griffiths 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NFL is expected to formally approve the transactions at next week’s owners’ meeting in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If an opportunity that makes sense exists, we will always explore it, but I am not sure what we will end up doing.<\/p>\nJed York, 49ers Owner<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The three buyers have experience in venture capital. Vinod Khosla is co-founder of Sun Microsystems and founder of Khosla Ventures. Byron Deeter is a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, and William Griffith is a partner at Iconiq Capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other franchise-related matters, the Los Angeles Chargers are seeking approval to sell an 8% stake to a private investment firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
