Finnish technology and security company Loihde completed its acquisition of BLC Turva on 1 October, according to a LinkedIn post citing Loihde Plc's inside information announcement. The purchase price was not disclosed in the sources.
On the same day, Loihde withdrew its financial guidance for 2026. According to the post, the company said its previous position as a competitor of BLC Turva, together with lengthy competition-authority proceedings, had limited its access to the target's financial and operational information. The approval also required certain business operations to be divested.
Loihde said that although the acquisition had been completed, it did not yet have a sufficient basis to issue accurate financial guidance for the enlarged business. The company continued to expect a positive financial impact from the acquisition and said the outlook for its existing business remained unchanged.
The post's author observed that the announcement illustrates how access to information can remain constrained before completion, leaving uncertainty to be resolved afterwards, and that completing a transaction does not necessarily mean the organisation has finished learning what it has bought.
