In October 2024, Keywords Studios was acquired by an investor group led by EQT alongside Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) and Temasek in a transaction that delisted the company from the London Stock Exchange's AIM market, enabling accelerated growth through additional capital for value-accretive acquisitions, expansion into adjacent markets, and investment in innovative technologies; the company has pursued a disciplined acquisition strategy with three deals agreed year-to-date as of mid-2024 and anticipates improved second-half performance amid sector recovery.
