AOL has bought out a local news website called Patch.com.  Tim Armstrong invested seed capital in Patch.com back in 2007.  As part of the deal, Armstrong will not profit from the seed investment he put in.  However, he will receive his seed capital back through AOL shares once the company separates from Time Warner.

Armstrong’s seed capital was made through his private investment company Polar Capital Group.  Another acquisition that AOL announced is Going.com.  The price of both properties were not disclosed.

The full press release is available after the jump.
