ZenMate acquired by Kape Technologies

Berlin/London (ots) - ZenMate (www.zenmate.com), the leading VPN
service provider owned by the internet security company ZenGuard
GmbH, announced a major change in its ownership structure as a result
of a 100% share acquisition by Kape Technologies Plc. Kape
Technologies develop and distribute a variety of digital products in
the online security space.

ZenMate joins a strong portfolio of internet security brands and
businesses owned by Kape Technologies. With existing brands such as
CyberGhost and Intego, the acquisition of ZenMate will allow Kape to
significantly expand their ability to deliver top privacy and
security solutions to millions of users around the world. From 2013
to 2017 ZenMate has steadily grown its user base and revenue to
become one of the largest VPN providers. Located in the heart of
Berlin, ZenMate is now a truly international brand with an
established footprint in the US, Western and Eastern Europe, Middle
East and APAC. Kape Technologies is excited to tap into Berlin's
talent and energy.

"We are extremely happy to join the Kape Family and begin
collaborating with different teams to deliver the best online
protection and user experience. I think that there are natural
synergies between our companies which will help us grow the business
as a whole in all possible areas, not limited to the VPN or to
anti-malware protection" - says Andrei Mochola, the CEO of ZenMate.

Close collaboration between all of the companies under Kape's
umbrella will ensure faster delivery of new ZenMate products to the
market, better UX, and more functions without compromising the user's
privacy and security. The acquisition will additionally enhance
technological infrastructure and resources available to ZenMate. Kape
Technologies assure that ZenMate is and will remain fully committed
to its core principles in terms of protecting user anonymity.

"We are delighted to add ZenMate to our existing portfolio. We
look forward to sharing our technology and extensive infrastructure
to improve ZenMate's service to its users. This acquisition will help
us grow our presence in Europe, particularly in Germany. The
provision of privacy and data protection is a key focus for us and we
are excited to have ZenMate's team in Berlin join our mission." says
Ido Erlichman, the CEO of Kape Technologies.
