Zubr Capital, EBRD exit Targetprocess
Zubr Capital and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have sold their stakes in enterprise planning software Targetprocess to US-based Appito, a portfolio company of Vista Equity Partners.
Appito has wholly acquired the company after a sale process of several months, according to a statement.
Zubr and EBRD acquired a majority stake in Targetprocess in April 2018. Following the deal, the headquarters of the Belarus-based company were moved to Amherst, New York. During the investment period, the company set up sales and marketing structures and further developed its software product.
Zubr invested in Targetprocess via its debut fund, which held a final close in August 2016 on $50m, followed by a final close in March 2018 on $90m, according to Unquote Data. The fund has made nine platform investments and the sale of Targetprocess marks the first exit from the vehicle, the GP said in a statement.
