2.3.1 ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. In accordance with the Articles of Association, the dividend to be distributed to the general partner and to Class B shareholders is nil for financial year 2018. B. At their General Meeting, shareholderswill be asked toapprove the distribution of a dividend of €24,098,119 to ordinary shareholders, i.e. a gross dividend of €0.66 per ordinary share. This dividend corresponds to 3% of net asset value, as presented in the consolidated financial statements. In proposing this dividend amount, the Supervisory Board intends to continue implementing the dividend policy Altamir announced in 2013. Approved by the Supervisory Board, this policy is in line with the investment strategy implemented by the Management Company and regularly presented to the Board. This investment strategy is part of an overall growth objective. These dividends are paid from the capital gains realised by the Company on equity investments held for more than two years. For individual shareholders resident in France, these distributed dividends do not qualify for the 40% exclusion provided for in article 158–3-2° of the French Tax Code. The ex-dividend date for ordinary shares will be 28 June 2019, and the dividend on ordinary shares will be paid to shareholders on 2 July 2019. In the event that theCompanyholds ordinary shares in treasury on the ex-dividend date, the amount corresponding to the dividends not paid in respect of these shares will be allocated to retained earnings. C. Net income for 2018 is insufficient to pay the annual dividend in full. Shareholders will therefore be asked at the General Meeting to pay the difference between net income and the total dividend amount from Company reserves. D. In accordance with the provisions of Article 243 bis of the French Tax Code, the following dividends and income were distributed in respect of the previous three financial years:
