Princess NAV increases by 1.1% in January

The net asset value ("NAV") of Princess continued to develop positively in January, closing the month at EUR 7.43 per share, which corresponds to an increase of 1.08% compared to the unaudited December 2009 NAV. This follows a strong 5.1% rise in the NAV during the fourth quarter of 2009, with portfolio companies continuing to actively grow their businesses and create additional value. In particular, the appreciation of the US dollar against the Euro during the course of the month also contributed positively to the NAV development.

In January, Kerasotes Showplace Theatres was sold to AMC Entertainment. The portfolio company owns 96 theaters and 973 screens, primarily in the Midwest region of the United States. Princess' investment partner Providence Equity Partners IV first invested in the company seven years ago and has successfully grown it by completing strategic acquisitions and expanding to additional locations. Under Providence's guidance, Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, which enjoyed record revenues in 2009, has become the sixth-largest motion picture exhibition company in North America.

Dr. Stephan Schäli, Partner and Head Private Equity at Princess' investment advisor Partners Group, comments: "The exit of Kerasotes Showplace Theatres is an example of the maturity of Princess' portfolio as almost 40% of Princess' current investments were made before 2006. These portfolio companies have been developed by their private equity owners during the past years in preparation for a future exit. With its existing portfolio companies, Princess is well positioned to benefit from a re-opening of the exit window."
