Altamir maintains its commitment of 30% in the Apax France IX fund, which has just closed at EUR 1bn


Paris, 16 March 2017 – Apax Partners MidMarket today announced the closing of the Apax France IX fund at one billion euros. The fund is expected to be invested over the next 3-4 years.

Altamir committed to invest in this fund in 2016, when it was being raised, via the Apax France IX-B vehicle specifically dedicated to it. Altamir's commitment was between €220m and €300m, with the option of adjusting the level of its commitment to available cash every six months.

In order to take into account the final size of the Apax France IX fund without changing Altamir's share of the investments already made through this fund (Marlink, InfoVista, Sandaya), Altamir's commitment is now between €226m and €306m, with the option of adjusting the level of its commitment to available cash every six months.

The published 2016 financial statements were based on the assumption that the share of Apax France IX-B in the fund would be 30%.
