Bridgepoint has agreed to acquire a significant controlling stake in Stockholm-based Safe Life, a global leader in the distribution of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), partnering with the founders and existing institutional investors Byggmästaren, Bonnier Capital and Swedbank Robur, who are reinvesting alongside Bridgepoint. The transaction values Safe Life at approximately EUR 500 million, and separate deal analytics indicate an enterprise value of about SEK 5.5 billion, reflecting the company’s position as a market leader in a fragmented and fast-growing AED sector across North America and Europe. Safe Life’s core business is life-saving equipment and related training, with numerous acquisitions completed across Europe and North America since its founding in 2019.

Vinge acts as legal advisor to Bridgepoint on the acquisition, while Baker McKenzie serves as legal advisor to the owners of Safe Life.
