The 49ers of San Francisco could be the next franchise in the National Football League to sell a minority participation in the investment capital.
The 49ers are considering a sale of up to 10% of the deductible for a investment capital company or other investors, including individuals or rich families, according to a person familiar with the problem.
The New York Giants also explore a sale of minority apples, the franchise announced last week.
The owners of the NFL voted last year to allow an investment in investment that can reach 10% of a deductible. The dolphins of Miami and the Buffalo Bills have already concluded agreements with investment companies, and the raids of the Eagles of Philadelphia and Las Vegas used the increased interest in investing capital to generate higher prices of other individuals and families.
The 49ers hope to assess the franchise nearly $ 9 billion, said the person. CNBC estimated the organization at $ 7.4 billion in its latest assessment list.
Bloomberg first pointed out the interest of the team to sell a minority participation.
The 49ers of the NFL are both recently and historically one of the most successful franchises in the NFL in terms of victories and losses. The mother of the 49ers, 49ers enterprises, also owns the English football club Leeds United. The York family has the 49ers and Jed York is the CEO of the 49ers.
Many teams are impatient to sell minority holdings for increased liquidity for family members or for money that can be recovered from the team for stadium repairs or future investments.
Sales to investment capital companies do not come with any voting rights. However, companies have been willing to pay premium prices for small challenges because they are delivered with advantages, such as owner’s box seats, which can be used for customers and employees.
