Business update - First three months of the 2012/2013 financial year

Corporate

As well as publishing annual and semi-annual results, Gimv has opted to provide quarterly business updates without publishing full results.

The figures given below cover the period from 1 April 2012 to 30 June 2012. All figures refer to the 'limited consolidation' of Gimv (non-audited figures).

Commentary
Managing Director Koen Dejonckheere, on the activities of the past quarter: "In the last quarter, operating results for our investments held up in the face of a tough macroeconomic environment. However, the international financial markets remained highly unstable, which had a negative effect on the valuation of the portfolio. Despite these tougher conditions, Gimv has managed to sell several investments (such as Accent Jobs and OGD) successfully in the last few months. These deals will be finalised at the beginning of July."
