Our notes
Re-read: the release by Comitis, a party to the deal, dated 12 Jan 2026, says it 'entered into an agreement to acquire Threema Holding AG' from Afinum and the founders, with closing expected that month. It states no stake. The register shows the deal closed. SHAB 11 Feb 2026: the chair and one board member left, and Comitis partners Nikolaus Bethlen (chair) and Philipp Siebeneick, both of Frankfurt am Main, joined the board. SHAB 8 Jul 2026: the merger with Threema GmbH, the rename to Threema AG and the move to Freienbach. The latest SHAB entry (7 Oct 2026) only adds a signatory, and we found no later sale. The PE owner is in the EU (Germany); the operating company is Swiss. The previous owner, from 2020, was Afinum (German PE). GLEIF full-text search for 'Threema' returns nothing.
