CAMPBELL, Calif.—FriendFinder Networks Inc. (FFN) and its subsidiary Streamray, Inc.  announced today that it has closed a transaction which resulted in the sale of all of the shares of the companies comprising FFN's Penthouse enterprise to Penthouse Global Media, Inc. (PGMI), a company whose majority shareholder is Kelly Holland, who was Penthouse’s General Manager of Broadcast and Distribution prior to the sale. The transaction was unanimously approved by FriendFinder Networks’ Board of Directors.
