News Release
Guernsey, 22 May 2015
Interim dividend of EUR 0.27 declared
è Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value ("NAV") down by -1.5% to EUR 8.99 per share
è Overall portfolio developments (-0.2%) and currency movements (-1.2%) were negative for the month
è Princess received distributions of EUR 4.7 million and capital calls of EUR 0.3 million
Distributions for the month came predominately from Princess' legacy third party fund portfolio (EUR 3.3 million).
The largest contributor to distributions in terms of direct investments was Princess' mezzanine portfolio (EUR 0.9 million), which distributed returns from recent realizations including a pharmaceutical firm, which refinanced its debt with an all-senior debt structure and repaid the mezzanine loan that was previously outstanding. The return on the mezzanine investment was enhanced due to the payment of the agreed prepayment penalty.
After month-end, Princess declared an interim dividend of EUR 0.27 per share for 2015. Including the final dividend from 2014 (EUR 0.27 per share), this translated into a dividend yield of 6.0% on the NAV per share as of 30 April 2015, consistent with the Company's commitment to pay semi-annual payments of 5-8% p.a. on opening NAV. The dividend will be paid on 19 June 2015, with the relevant date for the entitlement to the dividend and the corresponding ex-dividend date falling on 29 May 2015 and 28 May 2015 respectively.
