Altin AG -- Elimination of the discount thanks to strong share price growth in 2003 -- Discount management measures to be maintained in 2004 The spectacular growth in ALTIN's share price (Bloomberg AIA LI; Reuters ALTIwq.L) recorded in 2003 (+25.06% as of 16.12.2003 on the Swiss Stock Exchange, +29.34% as of 16.12.2003 on the London Stock Exchange), has led to the elimination of the discount of the share price relative to its net asset value per share (NAV per share). This good result confirms ALTIN's investment attractiveness and the effectiveness of the discount reduction measures, which the Board of Directors has decided to keep in place in 2004. Effectiveness of the discount management measures The measures proposed by the Board of Directors and adopted by the 2001 Annual General Meeting have proved their effectiveness. The discount of the share price to NAV has been reduced from over -25% at the start of 2001 to -0.91% as of 16.12.2003 on the Swiss Stock Exchange and +0.59% (premium) on the London Stock Exchange as of 16.12.2003. A premium has been recorded from time to time in recent days and the objective is to align the share price with its NAV as closely as possible. At the same time as this evident convergence was taking place, the measures adopted to increase ALTIN's attractiveness have led to a strong increase in the number of ALTIN shares traded, which has nearly quadrupled since the beginning of 2002. There has also been increasing interest in ALTIN from UK investors. Current discount management measures to be maintained in 2004 On the strength of this success, the Board of Directors at its meeting of 11 December 2003 agreed to maintain the discount management measures already in place, namely the reduction in the nominal value of the shares or the purchase by ALTIN of its own shares at 95% of NAV, if the discount were to be above 10% at the time of the 2004 Annual General Meeting. The terms remain the same as for 2003, i.e. that the discount figure to be used will be the daily average discount during the three months preceding the AGM, which is scheduled to be held on 23 June 2004. Investment Strategy ALTIN's NAV is up +7.72% this year (estimated NAV as of 16.12.2003), with a low annualised volatility of 6.60%. The portfolio is currently overweight in arbitrage and relative value strategies with an allocation to these of 49.4%. This compares to an allocation of 22.4% to Long/Short strategies and of 25.8% to Macro/CTA strategies.
