Overview

• Reports say the 49ers agreed to sell a 3.2% minority interest to Pete Briger Jr. of Fortress Investment Group.
• The price matches May’s benchmark valuation of about $8.6 billion and would generate roughly $272 million.
• Jed York and his family are expected to retain about 88% ownership after the deal closes.
• The sale requires approval from NFL owners at upcoming meetings under rules permitting up to 10% private‑equity stakes.
• Briger, based in Menlo Park, would join Bay Area limited partners added in May, including the Khosla, Griffith and Deeter families.
