Vend Marketplaces ASA: Vend signs agreement to sell its skilled trades marketplace portfolio

10.12.2025 08:00:01 CET | Vend Marketplaces ASA | Non-regulatory press releases

Vend Marketplaces ASA ("Vend" or the "Company") has today signed a binding

agreement with Verdane Fund Manager AB ("Verdane") to sell its skilled trades

marketplace portfolio ("Mittanbud"): Mittanbud (Norway), Servicefinder (Sweden),

Remppatori (Finland), and 3byggetilbud.dk (Denmark). The transaction implies an

enterprise value of NOK 550 million.

Christian Printzell Halvorsen, CEO of Vend, comments:

"??This is a truly exciting new chapter for Mittanbud. Since its launch in 2009,

Mittanbud has delivered an impressive growth journey. What began as a small

Norwegian start-up within Schibsted has evolved into the leading marketplaces

for skilled trades in the Nordics, connecting millions of homeowners and

professionals every year. We are proud of what the team has achieved and look

forward to following Mittanbud's continued success under new ownership."

The sale of Mittanbud marks another important milestone in Vend's strategic

simplification journey. It reflects the Company's focus on sharpening its

marketplace portfolio and further streamlining the organisation.

"We're deeply grateful for everything we've achieved together with Schibsted and

Vend over the past 16 years. Mittanbud has grown from a small start-up into a

leading Nordic skilled trades marketplace, thanks to a dedicated team. With

Verdane as our new owner, we're excited to build on this strong foundation and

accelerate our growth," comments Håvard Bungum, CEO of Mittanbud.

Max Carlsén, Principal at Verdane, said: "We are excited to partner with the

Mittanbud marketplaces team to help drive the next phase of its growth across

the European home services market. Mittanbud has built a leading position in the

Nordics, grounded in strong customer trust and a clear value proposition for

both homeowners and skilled professionals in the large and under-digitalised

home improvement market. With Verdane's experience in scaling digital consumer

platforms and marketplaces, we look forward to supporting the team as they enter

the next chapter."

The parties have signed the final transaction agreements, with completion

expected at the beginning of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and

closing conditions.

Vend follows a disciplined capital allocation strategy. While maintaining a

conservative balance sheet, any surplus capital will be returned to shareholders

over time.

Macquarie Capital acted as the sell-side financial adviser, Advokatfirmaet BAHR

acted as legal adviser, and PwC acted as financial and tax adviser to the

seller.
