CARRIED INTEREST Share of profit fromperformance returned to the fundmanagement company, calculated on the basis of a private equity fund’s income and capital gains (usually 20%). InAltamir’s case, carried interest is equal to 20%of net gains as per theArticles of Association, allocated as follows: 2% is allocated to the general partner, and 18% to the Class B shareholders, who are themembers of themanagement team. Since Altamir’s inception, carried interest has been calculated based on adjusted statutory net income. This result includes realised capital gains and unrealised capital losses (impairment of securities) but does not include unrealised capital gains, contrary to IFRS income, which is used to determine Net Asset Value (NAV). CLASS B SHARES Class B shares are preferred shares allocated to members of the Apax fund management team which entitle the holder to a share in the Company’s performance, called carried interest. CLOSING Final step of a transaction, with the signing by all participants (company officers and financial investors) of the legal documentation (including any shareholders’ agreements) and disbursement of funds.
