Based on the information set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Altair Engineering, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2017, there were 26,394,996 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) outstanding as of November 27, 2017. As of December 31, 2017 (the “Event Date”), Mark E. Kistner (the “Reporting Person”) may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 2,661,524 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock reported above includes 2,661,524 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of the Company. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B Common Stock is immediately convertible, at the option of the Reporting Person, into one share of Class A Common Stock and shall automatically convert into Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events. Please see the Company’s Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1 (File No. 333-220710) for a description of the conversion rights. Thus, as of the Event Date, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 9.2% of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. Percentages obtained by dividing (a) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in Row 9 by (b) the sum of (i) 26,394,996 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of November 27, 2017 and (ii) the 2,661,524 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person that are convertible into Class A Common Stock.
