Byron Allen has assumed the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jonah Peretti has transitioned to his newly created role as President of <b>BuzzFeed AI<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder the terms of the agreement, <b>Allen Family Digital<\/b> acquired 40 million shares of <b>BuzzFeed, Inc.<\/b> common stock at a price of $3.00 per share, representing a total transaction value of $120 million for a total purchase price of $120 million. The transaction was funded with $20 million in cash at closing and a $100 million promissory note due five years from closing, accruing interest at 5% annually. <b>BuzzFeed<\/b> has used $12.5 million of the cash proceeds from the transaction to pay down existing indebtedness, materially strengthening the Company\u2019s balance sheet and enhancing financial flexibility to support future growth initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cJonah is a great visionary and has done a phenomenal job. BuzzFeed and HuffPost have become two iconic global digital media brands with powerful audience reach and strong cultural importance,\u201d said <b>Byron Allen<\/b>,<b> Chairman and CEO <\/b>of<b> BuzzFeed<\/b>. \u201cOur vision is to build on the iconic foundation of BuzzFeed and HuffPost by expanding into free-streaming video, audio and user-generated content. As of this moment, with the power of AI, BuzzFeed is officially chasing YouTube to become another premier free-streaming video service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cByron is a force of nature and an incredible media mogul, and his skills are very complementary to mine,\u201d said <b>Jonah Peretti, President <\/b>of<b> BuzzFeed AI<\/b>. \u201cHis deep relationships with advertisers, partners, and sources of capital free me to focus on what I&#8217;ve always loved most: the intersection of tech and media. I&#8217;m thrilled to pass him the baton, and even more excited about what comes next. AI is going to create a new medium for content that wasn&#8217;t possible before, and I&#8217;m convinced the opportunity is enormous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>BuzzFeed<\/b> is building on the iconic foundation of <b>BuzzFeed <\/b>and <b>HuffPost<\/b> by expanding into free-streaming video, audio, and user-generated content powered by AI.

AI will accelerate content creation, distribution, and discovery across both organizations as <b>BuzzFeed<\/b> builds toward becoming a premier free-streaming video destination.<\/p>\n<p>\nJonah Peretti co-founded <b>BuzzFeed <\/b>in 2006 and has served as the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer since its founding. Under his leadership, <b>BuzzFeed <\/b>became one of the defining digital media brands of a generation, pioneering social distribution, viral content, and AI-assisted publishing. In his new role as President of <b>BuzzFeed AI<\/b>, Peretti will bring his strategic focus to applied AI research, product innovation, and the development of new technology-driven media formats.<\/p>\n<p>\nByron Allen is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of <b>Allen Media Group<\/b> which he founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Los Angeles.
