Altamir announces the sale of ECi Software Solutions, which was held via the Apax IX LP fund


Paris, 20 November 2020 – Apax Partners LLP announces the sale of the investment held alongside Carlyle in ECi Software Solutions to Leonard Green and Partners, a US private equity company. Apax Partners LLP will reinvest a minority stake in the company via the Apax IX LP fund.

The transaction, which is expected to close in December 2020, will give Altamir a MOIC of around 4.2x. This represents an uplift of 18% to ECi's fair value as of 30 June 2020.

ECi Software Solutions is a leading provider of ERP software solutions to small-to-medium-sized businesses, with more than 22,000 customers worldwide.

Under Apax Partners LLP and Carlyle ownership, ECi enjoyed rapid growth, both organically and through strategic M&A. The 15 acquisitions completed since 2017 helped the company gain significant market share and scale internationally, notably in Europe and Australia.
