Stockholm, May 7, 2025

FSN Capital IV* has sold its remaining shares in Kjell & Company, a leader in consumer electronics accessories in the Nordics. Under FSN Capital IV’s ownership, Kjell & Company has transformed into a leading omnichannel player with operations in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

FSN Capital IV* has agreed to sell its remaining shares of 13,534,368 in Kjell Group AB (publ) (“Kjell & Company” or the “Company”), corresponding to approximately 23% of the total number of shares in the Company, to Jofam AB, Cervantes Capital, Nordea Fonder and SIBA Invest together with a number of other Nordic institutional and qualified investors (the “Transaction”). The shares were sold at a price of SEK 7.10 per share, equal to a discount of 9% compared to yesterday’s closing price. The Transaction realized gross proceeds of approximately SEK 96 million. Following the Transaction, FSN Capital IV no longer owns any shares in Kjell & Company.

Kjell & Company was acquired by FSN Capital IV in 2014 and listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on September 16, 2021, when FSN Capital IV sold a majority of its stake. FSN Capital IV remained the largest shareholder in the Company until the Transaction.

Under FSN Capital IV’s ownership, Kjell & Company has grown significantly, acquiring AV-Cables, expanding its product offering, and increasing its geographical footprint. Today, the company is a leading Nordic omnichannel player serving customers across Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Net sales have grown from SEK 1 billion in 2014 to SEK 2.6 billion in the last 12 months as of March 2025.

Simon Larsson, Principal at FSN Capital Partners (acting in the capacity as investment advisor to FSN Capital IV), said: “FSN Capital IV is proud to have supported Kjell & Company through its strong transformational growth phase, becoming a listed company in 2021, and through the more challenging markets in recent years. We believe Kjell & Company is now well positioned to deliver on its strategy for long-term growth and further value creation as a leading omnichannel player in the Nordics.”

Andreas Rylander, CEO at Kjell & Company, said: “FSN Capital IV has been a longtime partner in building Kjell & Company into a leading consumer electronics accessories player in the Nordics.
