Snyder will seek approval from National Football League owners to take on $450 million in debt to buy the remaining 40.5% of the club’s shares for $875 million, the Times said. The move would give Snyder complete control of the team.
NFL owners are scheduled to vote on Snyder’s debt request next week.
“The transaction is subject to three-fourths approval of full membership-24 of 32 clubs,” the NFL said in a statement. “The annual league meeting is slated for Tuesday and Wednesday, at which time there would be a vote.”
