STG Partners has also signed an agreement to acquire Visma Retail from The Visma Group, and will merge Extenda and Visma Retail to form Extenda Retail.

Håkan Valberg, CEO of Extenda commented: “This merger is a perfect match in terms of complementary solutions, geographic coverage, delivery capabilities and organisational culture, all backed by one of the most respected investors in the market. We can push ahead with our growth plans for the new organisation with great confidence. GP Bullhound has been a great advisory partner and their global reach, software industry expertise and execution capabilities proved invaluable in delivering this transaction for us.”
