· PPET received £27.9 million of distributions and paid £14.2 million of drawdowns during the month of February

· PPET completed two new direct investments and one new primary fund investment in the month of February

Estimated NAV

At 28 February 2026, PPET's estimated NAV was 868.0 pence per share (estimated net assets £1,278.4 million)[1], representing a 4.7% increase from the estimated NAV at 31 January 2026 of 829.2 pence per share (estimated net assets £1,228.5 million). The 38.8 pence increase in NAV per share reflected gains partially arising from a 3.5% constant currency uplift in the valuation of investments revalued as at 31 December 2025. This valuation uplift was further supported by an appreciation of 0.9% in the euro versus sterling and 1.9% appreciation in the US dollar versus sterling during February. 

The 3.5% constant currency uplift in valuations was due to a broad increase across the portfolio. PPET's primary fund, secondary and direct investment portfolios have so far increased 3.5%, 4.0% and 3.1% in constant currency, respectively, over the quarter.

Investment activity

PPET made a €5 million direct investment alongside Triton Partners into Bluu Unit, a German heating, ventilation and air conditioning ('HVAC') business which installs, maintains commercial HVAC systems with a focus on being more environmentally friendly.

In the month of February, PPET also made a €25 million primary investment into Triton Smaller Mid-Cap III, a Pan-European lower mid-market fund focused on majority buyouts in Business Services, Industrial Tech, and Healthcare sectors.

During the month, PPET committed €42 million to Patria Co‑Investment Partnership Fund I ('PCPF'), a fund focused on European mid‑market co‑investments. Managed by Patria, PCPF is expected to enhance PPET's access to co‑investment opportunities and support more consistent capital deployment, while also enabling PPET to benefit from the broader opportunity set sourced by its Manager. Going forward, PPET will pursue co‑investments both directly and through PCPF.

As PCPF is managed by Patria, commitments to the fund are excluded from the calculation of PPET's 95 basis point management fee, thereby avoiding double charging. In addition, as a cornerstone investor in PCPF, PPET has secured a favourable underlying fee arrangement. As a result, co‑investments made via PCPF will incur lower total fees than co-investments made directly by PPET.

Portfolio cashflows

PPET paid £14.2 million of drawdowns during the month of February, of which £11.8 million related to primary funds, £0.6 million related to secondary investments and £1.8 million related to direct investments.

Notable drawdowns in the primary fund portfolio during the month include:

· Arbor VI: to fund a new investment into Furlani Foods, a leading North American manufacturer of frozen food and related baked goods; and

· Latour Capital IV: to fund a follow-on investment into Sulo, a manufacturer and distributor of waste management solutions across Western Europe, headquartered in Paris, France.

PPET received £27.9 million of distributions during the month of February, of which £8.2 million related to primary funds, £2.4 million related to secondary investments and £17.3 million related to direct investments. 

Notable realisations during the month included:

· IK IX: proceeds from the full exit of Innovad, a UK headquartered company specialising in animal nutrition and health solutions; and 

· PAI Mid-Market Fund & Uvesco Co-invest: proceeds from full exit of Uvesco, a leading food distribution company based in Gipuzkoa, Spain.

Commitments

The Company had £820.2 million of outstanding commitments at 28 February 2026. The Manager believes that around £93.0 million of the Company's existing outstanding commitments are unlikely to be drawn.

Credit facility and cash balances

The Company has a £400.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility. The facility is provided by The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited, Societe Generale, State Street Bank International GmbH, State Street Bank & Trust Company and Banco Santander, S.A. The facility is due to expire in February 2028. 

The Company made no repayments to or drawdowns from the facility during the month of February, with a total of £163.9 million drawn at 28 February 2026. The remaining undrawn balance of the facility at 28 February 2026 was therefore £236.1 million.

In addition, the Company had cash balances of £28.6 million at 28 February 2026. Accordingly, short term resources, calculated as the total of cash balances and the undrawn balance of the credit facility, were £264.7 million as at 28 February 2026.

Share Buybacks

Pursuant to the Company's share buyback programme, the Company bought back 869,000 ordinary shares into treasury during February at a total cost of £5.3 million. The positive effect of the buyback programme is reflected in the movement in NAV for the month.

Change to Quarterly Reporting

Following engagement with PPET's company broker and the investment trust analyst community, the Board has decided to change PPET's reporting frequency from monthly estimated NAV announcements to quarterly NAV announcements. Accordingly, the estimated NAV announcement for the month ending 31 March 2026 will be PPET's final monthly NAV announcement before the transition to quarterly reporting.

The Board and the Manager believe that this will allow PPET to report in a more relevant and detailed way, with updates better aligned to the valuation cycle of the portfolio. To ensure shareholders continue to receive timely updates on key developments, the Company also intends to provide announcements during the quarter where appropriate, including in relation to material new investments and significant realisations.
