New York CNN —Paramount has agreed to sell Simon & Schuster to private equity firm KKR for $1.6 billion in cash, after more than three years of trying to offload the book publishing powerhouse. Paramount posted Simon & Schuster for sale in 2020. In November 2022, Paramount ended its agreement to sell Simon & Schuster to Penguin Random House in what would have been a $2.2 billion deal. In October 2022, US District Court Judge Florence Pan ruled the combination of the book publishing giants would illegally reduce competition. The private equity firm also sold audiobook publisher RBMedia to H.I.G Capital this year after acquiring it in 2018.

The job market may be strong, but the invisible strings that connect workers to their jobs are increasingly weaker. As the co-head of global private equity at KKR , he's been a key champion of instilling employee stock ownership programs in all the companies the firm buys for its $19 billion Americas Fund. "It's better for investors, it's better for the company, it's better for employees, and in the end, it's better for the communities that they live in." Over 60,000 non-management employees have been awarded billions of dollars in total equity value through these ownership programs since 2011, the firm said. Through the non-profit, other private-equity firms like Apollo and TPG also committed to advancing shared ownership within their own portfolios.
