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.

Through the non-profit, other private-equity firms like Apollo and TPG also committed to advancing shared ownership within their own portfolios.
