Axon announces definitive agreement to acquire Carbyne

Axon (AXON) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Carbyne, an innovative emergency communications and response platform serving hundreds of agencies protecting more than 250M people worldwide. This acquisition represents the next step in Axon’s strategy to modernize every stage of public safety – starting at the first call for help. Carbyne’s cloud-native call-handling platform powers how emergency communications centers receive, route, and manage incoming calls, enabling uninterrupted service, built-in resilience, and faster access to critical data. The transaction, which values Carbyne at $625M, is subject to customary closing conditions and expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius served as legal counsel to Axon, and Herzog, Fox & Neeman and Greenberg Traurig served as legal counsel to Carbyne.
