What happened: The vote ratifies the sale agreement reached in July, clearing its league-approval condition. Neeru Khosla is set to serve as controlling owner when the transaction closes.
Why it matters: The change ends the franchise's stewardship by Paul Allen's estate. It arrives before the start of Seattle's 2026 regular season.
By the numbers: The $9.612 billion price is $3.562 billion, or about 59%, above the previous NFL franchise-sale record of $6.05 billion.
What to watch: The formal closing and transfer of operational control come next.
