Paris, 14 May 2019 – Net Asset Value per share was €22.02 as of 31 March 2019, up 1.4% from 31 December 2018 (€21.72).
We remind investors that, barring exceptions, only the listed companies in the portfolio are revalued as of 31 March and 30 September.
Net Asset Value (shareholders equity, IFRS basis) stood at €803.8m (vs €792.9m as of 31 December 2018). The change in Net Asset Value during the quarter resulted from the following factors:

Value creation of €19.3m principally reflected the following factors:
A sharp rise in Altran's share price (39.5%);
An increase in the valuations of investments in INSEEC U, Exact Software and Assured Partners, to align them with their divestment values;
leading suppliers of filtration products, in particular to winemakers and brewers;
Altamir's net cash position as of 31 March 2019 on a statutory basis was €27.7m (vs €- 13.6m as of 31 December 2018).
As of 31 March 2019, Altamir had maximum outstanding commitments of €258.8m (including €122.3m committed but not yet called), which will be invested over the next 2- 3 years, as follows:
As a reminder, Altamir benefits from an opt-out clause, under which it can adjust the level of its commitment to the Apax France IX fund to its available cash every six months. Its initial commitment of €306m can thus be reduced down to €226m.
The Company has decided to maintain its commitment for 2019, corresponding to investments made during 2018, at the maximum level of €306m.
To handle potential timing imbalances between investments and divestments, Altamir is currently negotiating a new €60m line of credit.
In addition, capital calls are made 12 months after the transaction closing for investments made through the Apax France IX and Apax IX LP funds. This gives Altamir 12 months' visibility on its cash needs.
The acquisition of New Zealand company Trade me via the Apax IX LP fund was finalised on 8 May 2019.
Apax Partners LLP signed an agreement to acquire Baltic Classifieds Group via the Apax IX LP fund. Baltic operates a portfolio of online classified advertising platforms in the Baltic countries. Announced on 9 May, the transaction is expected to be finalised in July 2019. This transaction would represent an investment of around €2.9m for Altamir.
At their General Meeting of 29 April 2019, Altamir's shareholders approved a dividend of €0.66 per share, or 3% of NAV as of 31 December 2018, a very slight increase over the dividend paid in 2018. It will be paid on 2 July 2019 (ex-dividend date: 28 June).
At the General Meeting of 29 April 2019, shareholders approved all of the proposed resolutions by a very wide majority (between 83.0% and 99.99%).
In particular, they approved the co-optation of Anne Landon as a member of the Supervisory Board, replacing Sophie Etchandy-Stabile, and renewed the term of Marleen Groen as a member of the Supervisory Board for a period of two years. Altamir's shareholders also approved the appointment of Gérard Hascoët and Philippe Santini as non-voting members for a period of two years.
As a result of these appointments, the Supervisory Board is now composed of four members, all independent, with equal representation of men and women. With Ms Landon replacing Ms Etchandy-Stabile on the Audit Committee, this committee will also be composed of two independent members.
