CAPITAL BANKING SOLUTIONS acquired by AMETHIS

This primary growth capital transaction establishes a new capitalization structure for Asys, installing CAPZA as the lead minority institutional shareholder while ensuring that CEO Anne-Sophie Kieffer maintains majority equity control alongside an expanded group of key senior managers who are accessing equity ownership for the first time. The transaction occurs at a strategic inflection point as the business seeks to fully migrate its legacy software installation base into a modern, high-margin multi-tenant subscription framework to maximize net revenue retention

Roper Technologies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Procare Solutions from Warburg Pincus and TA Associates. The transaction marks a successful exit for Warburg Pincus, which held the majority stake for over five years, during which time Procare transitioned into a next-generation SaaS leader through aggressive product innovation and strategic acquisitions. The strategic rationale for Roper is to add a high-quality, vertically-focused software asset with a massive installed base in the resilient early childhood education sector

CVC Capital Partners entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire a majority stake in Sogelink from Keensight Capital. Keensight, which had led the previous LBO in 2019, will reinvest alongside CVC to retain a significant minority stake.

The transaction is supported by a robust debt package provided by Sixth Street, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs. The roadmap focuses on accelerating organic growth and pursuing further M&A in Europe

Private equity sponsor Hg has agreed to a further investment to cement its majority ownership position in cloud software provider Visma. This equity syndication broadens the shareholder base through a secondary sale, welcoming approximately 20 new institutional backers, including Altaroc, Jane Street, and the NYC Retirement System.

Devolver Digital has completed the 100% acquisition of System Era Softworks, Inc. The transaction involves a multi-part consideration structure including upfront cash and shares, along with deferred and performance-based earn-out components, reflecting the firm's focus on long-term alignment with the target's management team. The acquisition serves as a strategic pivot for Devolver to extend its footprint beyond the traditional premium indie market. By integrating System Era, Devolver gains access to proven "Expandable Game" expertise and proprietary live-operations technology

Keysight Technologies acquired 100% of ESI Group through a two-stage process. First, it purchased a 50.6% controlling block from the founding Rouvray family and historical shareholders at EUR155 per share. This was followed by a mandatory tender offer for the remaining shares at the same price. By early 2024, Keysight completed the squeeze-out and delisted ESI Group from Euronext Paris. The acquisition accelerates Keysight's strategy to shift its focus "left" into the design phase of the product lifecycle by integrating advanced predictive simulation and virtual prototyping into its design and test portfolio

OptimizeRx agreed to acquire 100% of Medicx Health. The operation will be funded through a combination of existing cash, short-term investments, and proceeds from a new $40 million credit facility provided by Blue Torch Capital. Certain members of Medicx's management, including founder and CEO, committed to reinvesting approximately $10.5 million of their transaction proceeds into OptimizeRx common stock, aligning their interests with the combined entity's success. The strategic rationale centres on creating the most comprehensive healthcare marketing platform in the US by combining OptimizeRx's HCP-focused DAAP platform with Medicx's consumer-focused Micro-Neighborhood® Targeting Platform — thereby addressing both key stakeholders in pharmaceutical marketing (doctors and patients) through a single integrated technology ecosystem

ARCHIMED has successfully completed the take-private acquisition of Instem, delisting the company from the London Stock Exchange (AIM). The transaction was driven by the need to liberate Instem from the short-term pressures of public reporting, allowing for more aggressive investment in long-term R&D. The strategic roadmap focuses on accelerating the adoption of "in silico" methods—using data and AI to model drug effects—which reduces the industry's reliance on animal testing and speeds up time-to-market
