Our objective is to offer our current and future shareholders the opportunity to invest in private equity through the funds managed by Apax Partners France and Apax Partners LLP, two private equity leaders in their respective markets. Our second objective is to attain a critical size of €1 Billion of assets under management to provide liquidity to our shares, and thereby reduce the discount to NAV at which they currently trade.».
