What Happened Next
Acquired by Questel in March 2021, with both co-chief executives speaking for the company at the handover. The company's own timeline books the sale to 2020, a year before the buyer announced it, and this record follows the acquirer's own account of its own purchase.
The searchers held it 4 years, from 2017 to 2021.
Bought at exit by Questel, whose page carries that firm's own announcement of it.
