Net Asset Value • Nov 14, 2014

• €15.66 NAV per share at 30 September 2014
• Up 8.3% over 9 months, dividend included
• 4 new international investments

Paris, 14 November 2014 – Net Asset Value ¹ per share was €15.66 at 30 September 2014, after payment of a €0.45² per share dividend in May 2014, up 5.3% compared to 31 December 2013 (€14.87) and down 0.5% compared to 30 June 2014 (€15.74). Pre-dividend, NAV per share increased 8.3% compared to 31 December 2013.

The increase in NAV over 9 months is attributable to the operating performance of the underlying portfolio companies (average EBITDA grew 6.6%³ over the first half of 2014). This increase was slightly offset by a decrease in the overall valuation of the publicly listed portion of Altamir's portfolio at the end of Q3 as compared to the end of Q2 2014.

Investors are reminded that only listed companies are re-valued at 30 September based on their share price (unlisted companies are re-valued twice a year on 30 June and 31 December).

Net Asset Value on an IFRS basis (shareholder's equity) at 30 September 2014 totalled €571.6m⁴ (as compared to €542.8m at 31/12/2013, and €574.6m at 30/6/2014).

€31.8m invested and committed in four new portfolio companies

During the third quarter of 2014, Altamir invested and committed €31.8m in four new portfolio companies outside France:

Via the Apax France VIII Fund:

€27.5m in SK FireSafety Group, a leading fire safety specialist in Northern Europe; the acquisition closed in July 2014.

Via the Apax VIII LP Fund:

• €0.9m in Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company Limited ("Chola"), a leading listed Indian Non-banking Financial Company offering commercial vehicle finance, loans against property and SME loans ; the transaction closed in September 2014;
• €0.4m in China Huarong Asset Management Company Ltd, one of the largest state-owned non-performing-loan asset management companies in China; the transaction closed in September 2014;

a €3m commitment in Answers Corporation, a US group operating both B2C and B2B activities through a leading online Q&A site (Answers.com) and cloud-based solutions on content management for e-commerce websites (Answers Cloud Services), respectively; the acquisition closed in October 2014.

€21.6m received in Q3 2014 – DBV Technologies exited

During the third quarter of 2014, Altamir received:

• a €16.1m distribution, equivalent to 40% of its initial investment in THOM Europe (jewellery retailers Histoire d'Or, Marc Orian and Trésor), following the refinancing of that company's debt via a high yield placement;
• €5.5m in proceeds from the sale of its remaining shares of DBV Technologies, a listed company and Altamir's only remaining venture capital holding. In total, this investment returned 4.6x the initial investment to funds managed by Apax Partners France.

Events after 30 September 2014

In October 2014, funds advised by Apax Partners LLP reached a conditional agreement on a recommended public offer for listed company Exact Holding NV, a market leader in the Netherlands in business software for SMEs, offering a cloud-based accounting and ERP software product, Exact Online. The transaction should close in early 2015 and represent an investment of approximately €3m for Altamir.
