Official word from the Preds:

Haslam will initially purchase a minority stake in the club, which will eventually become a majority stake through a "multi-phased purchase transaction".
It seems like it will remain an ownership group. The ownership group is currently made up of 17 people, so it wouldn't be surprising to see that number shrink after Haslam completes the purchase.
