O3 Industries and Novum Capital have sold their stake in Gumtree.com Ltd to Asian private equity firm Ocean Link and its portfolio company 58.com. The deal, which went into effect in September 2024, was confirmed by Novum Capital but not publicly announced by Gumtree U.K.
O3 Industries and Novum Capital originally acquired Gumtree and Motors.co.uk from Adevinta in 2021.
