FSN acquires Omegapoint from Priveq
Norwegian private equity firm FSN Capital has signed an agreement to acquire a 66% stake in Omegapoint, a Swedish cybersecurity company, from the management and Priveq Investment.
Priveq exits the company four years after acquiring a 40% stake. The GP had mandated Carnegie to prepare the company for sale, initially expected to come to market in autumn last year, Mergermarket reported in August 2020. However, the uncertainty and the negative impact on the company due to Covid-19 had made that timeline uncertain, Mergermarket reported.
Following deal completion, the management team of Omegapoint will retain a 33% stake.
FSN said in a statement that it will help the company accelerate organic growth and internationalise through M&A.
The transaction is subject to approval from relevant authorities.
