  Looks like a planned exit. The private investors behind Threema (Afinum) say they have a 5-7 year investment window after which they sell to lock in profits on their investment. This acquisition would be consistent with that time frame.

  Grain of salt: I’ve never heard of any of these companies and just did some quick research because I was curious.

    Interestingly, Afinum is also a German based private equity firm which owned majority shares of Threema since 2020.

    Kind of strange to see the company bouncing around between owners, but hopefully it can remain a good product.
