On 26 November 2025, ZI Zenith S.à r.l., a European indirect subsidiary of funds managed and/or advised by Advent International, L.P., completed the public tender offer for all publicly held shares of u-blox Holding AG, a global leader in positioning and wireless communication technologies. The offer price of CHF 135.00 per share in cash results in a valuation of u-blox’s equity, on a fully diluted basis, of approximately CHF 1,050 million. Based on the number of shares registered with the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich, Advent now holds more than 98% of the shares in u-blox. Accordingly, Advent will initiate a statutory squeeze-out proceeding, and the delisting of the u-blox shares will be conducted in due course in accordance with the applicable regulatory process.
