It also met with PCI, the Company performing internal control on behalf of Apax Partners SAS and Amboise Partners SA. The Audit Committee examined two subjects more closely at its 4 September and 7 November meetings: (i) investment valuation methods, and (ii) calculation of the ratio the Company must adhere to as a private equity Company ( société de capital risque , or SCR).
