The company has outstanding commitments totalling up to $\epsilon$ 185m as follows: a range of €48m to €128m to the Apax France VIII fund, and €45m to the Apax VIII LP fund. Additionally, Altamir has an outstanding commitment (estimated at €10m) to co-invest alongside Apax France VII in the fund's existing holdings, and various other commitments that total €2m (liability guarantees and others).
For the period from 1 February to 31 July 2014, the decision has been made to maintain Altamir's share of new investments made by Apax France VIII at the upper end of its commitment range (€280m), i.e. 40 % of any new commitment made by Apax France VIII.
In keeping with Altamir's dividend policy of distributing 2% to 3% of its NAV annually to holders of ordinary shares, the company's Supervisory Board will propose, at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 24th April 2014, a dividend per share of €0.45, equivalent to 3% of NAV. The proposed dividend is 10% higher than the dividend per share paid in 2013. Shares will trade ex-dividend on 19 May, and the dividend will be paid on 22 May 2014.
