ALAIN RAUSCHER, Chairman and CEO, declared:

"Antin posted a solid performance in the third quarter, with continued growth in AUM and exit activity resuming with the sale of Grandi Stazioni Retail at good returns. Following closing of the transaction, Fund II will be fully realised with a Gross Multiple of 2.6x, which is a great outcome for our fund investors and testament to our commitment to performance.

I am also pleased about the progress made in fundraising with commitments for Fund V reaching €9.8bn. We are working on the conversion of our remaining prospects and expect the fund’s final closing before year-end. I am confident in our ability to achieve or pass the fund’s target size of €10bn and meet our outlook for the year."
