Tribune Media Co. said Monday afternoon that it has sold the majority of its ownership stake in CareerBuilder, as Tegna completed the sale of CareerBuilder to an investor group led by investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board. As a participant in the sale, Tribune Media will receive approximately $158 million in cash and will retain an approximate 7% ownership stake in CareerBuilder on a fully-diluted basis.
As the company spins off Cars.com to shareholders and evaluates “strategic alternatives” for CareerBuilder, it says broadcasting chief Dave Lougee will take over for retiring CEO Gracia Martore and Alex Vetter will become CEO of the independent Cars.com.
