REPURCHASE OF CLASS B SHARES

To permanently switch to the France VII configuration which is now required for all future distributions, a similar repurchase transaction of 991 Class B shares at €10 par valuewas carried out on 28 December 2015, bringing the total number of outstanding Class B shares to 6,418. Following these share repurchases, all Apax partners held the same proportion of carried interest on co-investments made by Altamir and theApax FranceVII fund as they held on investments made by the Apax France VII fund. This rebalancing is in the best interest of Altamir’s shareholders to the extent that it allows the alignment of the economic interests of theApax partnerswhomanageAltamir’s co-investment portfolio with the objective of creating value. Since the Company did not intend to retain these Class B shares in the short term, shareholderswere asked at theGeneral Meeting of 15 April 2016 to approve the cancellation of the shares and the corresponding reduction of share capital. This resolutionwas not adopted, and the class B shares were retained. When all investments made alongside the Apax France VII fund have been divested, a new allocation of Class B shares will be divided among the investment team. The class B shares held by Altamir will then be resold to various beneficiaries. The reduction in the number of Class B shares in no way changes the share of earnings paid to holders of ordinary shares.

Class B shares entitle their holders to carried interest, which is remuneration intended to align the interests of shareholders and the investment team (80/20 division of adjusted statutory net income). Theallocationof this carried interest among thevarious individuals entitled to it will fluctuate over time because of departures, new arrivals or changes in individual Class B shareholder contributions. A new allocation is determined for each new private equity fund. For example, the Apax France VII fund has a different allocation than theFranceVI fund, though these two allocations can co-exist since the funds are two separate entities. In Altamir’s case, investments made alongside Apax France VI and Apax France VII are held in the same legal entity. When the carried interest allocationwas determined for theApax FranceVI andApaxFranceVII funds, theManagement Company committed to allocating the carried interest paid by Altamir on the same bases as those used for the France VI and France VII funds. In practice, the method established to carry out this commitment was to use the carried interest configuration for France VI until the rights under France VI were satisfied, and then to switch to the France VII configuration. Altamir’s plan for adhering to theseproportionswas to repurchase at par (€10 per share), in May 2015 and before payment of dividends, 11,173 of the existing 18,582 Class B shares in various proportions fromeach of the Class B shareholders so as to obtain the aforementioned outcome.
