Notice of AGM

8th Apr 2011 16:21

RNS Number : 6149E
Princess Private Equity Holding Ltd
08 April 2011
 



Guernsey, 8 April 2011

PRINCESS PRIVATE EQUITY HOLDING LIMITED

(the "Company")

Notice of Annual General Meeting:

Revisions to Investment Policy

Amendments to Articles

 

The Board has today published notice of the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held on 12 May 2011.

 

As announced on 20 October 2010, the Board has mandated the Investment Advisor, Partners Group, to implement a gradual portfolio repositioning with the aim of addressing the discount to net asset value and creating shareholder value. The discount has since narrowed from 38.3% as of 20 October 2010 to 26.5% as of 7 April 2011. The repositioning measures agreed upon by the Board include steps to resume dividend payments over the short-term and a gradual redirection of the investment focus of the Company towards direct investments. These measures have been facilitated by a secondary sale of the Company's interests in nine buyout funds (as announced on 10 January 2011), generating cash proceeds of approximately EUR 50.1 million and releasing the Company from EUR 24.4 million in unfunded commitments as of 30 November 2010.

 

The Board considers that it is now appropriate to ask shareholders to approve revisions to the Investment Policy (as required by the Listing Rules) to change the main focus to direct investments rather than fund investments. Accordingly a resolution to approve the Revised Investment Policy is proposed for adoption at the Company's Annual General Meeting.

 

The Board will also be taking the opportunity to ask shareholders to approve amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation primarily to reflect revisions to the Listing Rules in April last year which apply to overseas companies that, like the Company, have a premium listing.
