What Happened Next

Sold to Align Capital Partners, which announced the acquisition in December 2024 with both searchers staying on; one backer dates its own exit to 2025, a year later than the acquirer's release.

The searchers held it 4 years, from 2020 to 2024.

The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.
