Tech company Jamf, which specializes in managing and securing Apple at work, has been acquired by Francisco Partners (FP).
Jamf will become a privately held company and shares of Jamf common stock will no longer be listed on any public market.
Under the terms of the agreement, the American investment firm FP will purchase all the outstanding shares of Jamf common stock for $13.05 per share in an all-cash transaction, valued at approximately $2.2 billion. The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 50% over Jamf’s volume weighted average closing share price for the 90 days prior to September 11, 2025.
“Since Jamf’s founding more than 20 years ago, we have made significant strides in advancing our mission to help organizations succeed with Apple,” said John Strosahl, Jamf CEO. “We believe transitioning to a private company will provide greater financial flexibility and strategic alignment to accelerate growth, expand through innovation and M&A, and strengthen our market leadership.
“We have long admired Jamf and its commitment to providing customers with best-in-class products that are absolutely beloved in the Apple community,” said Brian Decker, Partner and Co-CIO, and Karl Shum, Partner, at Francisco Partners.
“We continue to see tremendous opportunity for Jamf given its enviable position in the market, and we look forward to working with the leadership team to support Jamf’s next phase of growth and deliver an even broader suite of secure and effective products to its customers,” added Cherry Zou, Vice President at Francisco Partners.
“Jamf has become the trusted platform for managing and securing Apple devices across businesses, educational institutions, and governments worldwide,” said Michael Fosnaugh, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Vista Equity Partners’ Flagship Fund, and Chairman of Jamf’s Board of Directors. “This milestone reflects the strength of the Jamf team and the distinctiveness of its platform. We’re proud to have partnered with Jamf through a transformative period that has solidified its leadership within the Apple ecosystem.”
The transaction is subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. After completion, Jamf will continue to be led by its current management team.
