Princess NAV increases by 1.2% in February

Following the positive performance of the net asset value ("NAV") of Princess last month and in the second half of 2009, the NAV continued to develop well in February and increased by 1.16% to EUR 7.51 per share. Overall valuations, which were increasingly driven by improved operating results of the underlying portfolio companies, had a favorable impact on the NAV. With the US dollar further appreciating against the Euro during the course of the month, the foreign exchange movements also contributed positively to the NAV.

In February, Princess benefited from strong distributions from exited investments which amounted to EUR 8 million, compared to EUR 6 million in drawdowns for new investments. Amongst others, Princess received distributions from the previously announced sale of Marken, a company that specializes in providing clinical drug trial logistics services, and of Unitymedia, the second-largest cable operator in Germany.

Dr. Stephan Schäli, Partner and Head Private Equity at Princess' investment advisor Partners Group, comments: "We are pleased to see that proceeds from exited investments exceeded the capital called to fund new investments in February, highlighting again the maturity of Princess' portfolio. Driven by the pick-up in private equity deal activity, Princess can currently also capitalize on attractive investment opportunities in the market. Many of the new investments closed today feature relatively low entry valuations and thereby provide the portfolio with additional exposure to high-quality deals."
