A LONG-TERM PLAYER

Right from the start the founders of AtriA Capital Partenaires wanted to establish a lasting presence in French private equity. True pioneers in France, our founders have built a team designed for the long haul, with a combination of veteran and younger professionals that offer a complementary range of skills and experience. AtriA's exclusive focus on French mid-cap firms, its total independence and its past and current performance all show that AtriA is here to stay.

A SHORT HISTORY

In 1999, three pioneers of French private equity, Dominique Oger, Patrick Lenté and Patrick Bertiaux founded AtriA Capital Partenaires, an independent investment management firm, launched AtriA Private Equity Fund, a 125-million euro fund, and formed the current 10-member team. AtriA Private Equity Fund was rapidly deployed, as it invested in 14 mid-cap growth companies in four years.

In 2004, the team launched AtriA Private Equity Fund II, a 196-million euro fund that also targeted growth companies with an enterprise value of 20 to 200 million euros and which invested in eleven mid-cap growth companies in three years.

In October 2006, AtriA Capital Partenaires raised its third LBO fund with commitments of €300 million. Due to its focus on French companies with an enterprise value of €30 to €200 million, a sector in which it is one of the market leaders, AtriA Capital Partenaires limited subscriptions to €300 million for the AtriA III fund, in order to invest this capital in 3 to 4 years.
