NAV increases by 3.0% in May

25th Jun 2020 07:00

RNS Number : 9811Q
Princess Private Equity Holding Ltd
25 June 2020
 

News Release

Guernsey, 25 June 2020

 

NAV increases by 3.0% in May

 

· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's (Princess) net asset value increased by 3.0% to EUR 11.65 per share

· Portfolio developments were positive (+3.6%) and currency movements were negative (-0.4%)

· Princess invested EUR 3.4 million during the month and received distributions of EUR 3.0 million

 

In May, Princess' NAV continued its recovery and increased in value by 3.0%.

Amongst the largest contributors to the positive performance was AMMEGA, the global leader in mission critical industrial power transmission, lightweight process and conveyor belting. It benefitted from its exposure to diversified end markets with an important share in food and pharma which helped as governments classified its products as "essential" during the lockdowns.

 

EUR 2.5 million was invested in Fermaca, a leading operator of gas infrastructure in Mexico. The capital was used to repay a bridge loan which Fermaca had obtained during the fourth quarter of 2019 to finance the completion of its construction of natural gas pipelines as well as certain interconnections. The company reached a significant milestone in December 2019 as the La Laguna - Aguascalientes project, a pipeline that transports 1'189 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, commenced commercial operation.

 

Princess received distributions of EUR 3.0 million during the month, predominantly from the mature legacy fund portfolio.

 

Post-period end, Princess announced that the sale of its stake in Action had closed. The Company received initial proceeds of EUR 80.9 million following the closing of the transaction.

 

On 23 June the Board of Directors declared a first interim dividend of EUR 0.145 per share for FY 2020. The dividend will be paid on 24 July 2020. The relevant date for the entitlement to the dividend (record date) will be 3 July 2020 and the corresponding ex-dividend date will be 2 July 2020. The Company intends to pay a second interim dividend in December such that the total dividend for the year is not less than EUR 0.29 per share, representing a prospective yield of 3.1% on the closing share price of EUR 9.46 on 23 June 2020.

 

Further information is available in the monthly report, which can be accessed via: http://www.princess-privateequity.net/financialreports.

 

Ends.
