Raiders Investors Lift Stakes by 11 Points as Egon Durban Doubles Holding to 22%

NFL owners approved several Las Vegas Raiders share transfers, with Silver Lake CEO Egon Durban raising his stake from 11% to 22%, Michael Meldman to 12.9%, and Michael Dell buying 5.3%.
Those purchases did not come from Mark Davis, who still sits around the 30% threshold league rules require for a designated controlling owner or family.
The shares were sold by existing limited partners, reflecting a reshuffling of the Raiders' fragmented ownership base rather than a change in team control.
Durban's larger role matters because he has been identified as Davis's successor, and his experience with Manchester City's board could increase his influence on the franchise.
