FriendFinder, which operates the AdultFriendFinder network as well as about two dozen more networking sites, also owns Penthouse Media Group Inc.
FriendFinder, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, said it will use net proceeds of the public offering to redeem a portion of its outstanding senior secured indebtedness and to pay waiver fees to certain debtholders.
