Last year, the majority ownership group of the Celtics, led by Wyc Grousbeck, announced plans to sell the team, just days after Boston held a rolling rally in celebration of the franchise's long-awaited Banner 18.
He led the group that bought the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. The team is now worth $4.7 billion, according to Forbes.
Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck has said he expects to remain governor through the ownership transition.
When the Celtics sale was announced last July, the Grousbeck family said it intended to sell 51 percent of the team in late 2024 or early 2025.

James WalkerChief Executive Officer and President For further information, please contact James Walker by email at jwalker@ DISCLOSURE AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision. Historically, situations where the issuer decides to put a mineral project into production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibility study have a higher risk of economic or technical failure, though some industrial mineral ventures are relatively simple operations with low levels of investment and risk, where the operating entity has determined that a formal prefeasibility or feasibility study in conformance with NI 43-101 and 43-101 CP is not required for a production decision. Based on historical engineering work, geological reports, historical production data and current engineering work completed or in the process by Ares, the Company intends to move forward with the development of its Utah asset.
