Jan 2011SecondaryGeneral Atlantic$200M$1BGeneral Atlantic acquired a 20 per cent stake in Kaspersky Lab in January 2011 for 200 million US dollars, according to the Financial Times, and became the Russian company's second-largest shareholder. The shares were bought as secondary shares from existing holders, and the parties did not formally disclose terms. The price implied a valuation of about 1 billion dollars. Co-founders Eugene and Natalya Kaspersky remained majority owners, and General Atlantic managing director John Bernstein joined the board. Eugene Kaspersky called the partnership a strategic step, and the company said it would keep expanding internationally and acquire smaller internet security companies. Kaspersky Lab, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Moscow, develops anti-virus and threat software and planned to move further into cloud computing and mobile technology. It was expected to pursue an initial public offering within three to five years.
