The acquisition marks a significant milestone for Jamf as it transitions from a publicly traded company to private ownership under Francisco Partners. The $13.05 per share cash consideration reflects strong confidence in Jamf’s strategic direction and market position. With stockholder approval secured at the Special Meeting on January 8, 2026, Jamf’s common stock has ceased trading on NASDAQ, and the company now operates as a privately held entity.
“Francisco Partners’ investment in Jamf represents an exciting milestone in our journey,” said John Strosahl, CEO at Jamf. “We have built a trusted platform that helps organizations of all sizes manage and secure their Apple ecosystem with exceptional reliability and simplicity. With FP's support and resources, we are well-positioned to accelerate our innovation roadmap, expand our suite of offerings, and deepen value for our customers and partners around the world.”
“Jamf has built a leading position in the Apple management and security market, and we see significant opportunity to accelerate the company’s growth strategy,” said Brian Decker, Partner and Co-CIO at Francisco Partners. “We are pleased to partner with Jamf’s talented team to broaden its product offerings and deliver even greater value to its customers as the company continues to scale globally.”
The partnership aims to leverage Francisco Partners’ deep technology sector expertise and operational resources to fuel Jamf’s expansion, particularly in enhancing its comprehensive Apple-first management and security solutions for enterprise environments.
