News Release
Guernsey, 25 November 2014
NAV slightly up in October
è Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value ("NAV") increased slightly by 0.04% to EUR 8.69 per share, year-to-date NAV growth stands at +11.0%
è Portfolio developments were flat and currency movements were slightly positive (+0.1%) for the month
è Princess received distributions of EUR 1.2 million
During the month, distributions (EUR 1.2 million) came predominately from Princess' mature funds portfolio. Following an active investment period over the first nine months of 2014, there were no new direct investments closed in October. Year to date, Princess has deployed EUR 75.6 million to thirteen new direct investments.
After the review period, Princess' Board of Directors announced that on 17 December 2014 a second dividend of EUR 0.27 will be paid on each Ordinary Share. The total dividend due to shareholders for the calendar year is therefore EUR 0.54 per share, including the interim dividend of EUR 0.27 per share distributed in June. This translates into a dividend yield of 6.2% on NAV per share (as of 31 October 2014) and a yield of 7.7% on Princess' share price, based on the 31 October 2014 closing price on the London Stock Exchange. Princess has a dividend policy to distribute 5-8% p.a. of opening NAV via two interim dividends following the publication of the quarterly reports as of 31 March and 30 September.
