Groupon Inc. paid $4.21 million for services from companies partly owned by Eric Lefkofsky, the executive chairman and one of two board members appointed to run the daily deals site following the ouster of Andrew Mason as chief executive officer.

Groupon disclosed Mason’s resignation as director and Lefkofsky’s business transactions in a filing yesterday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
