Princess publishes August NAV

News Release

Guernsey, 22 September2011

Princess publishes August NAV

The net asset value (NAV) of Princess Private Equity Holding Limited (Princess) fell 0.4% in August, to close the month at EUR 8.92 per share. However, the strong NAV growth experienced by Princess over recent quarters means that year to date, NAV growth still stands at a respectable 5.2%. Though value creation initiatives by Princess' portfolio companies continued to support positive revaluations in August, this contribution was offset by downwards adjustments in the value of listed portfolio companies, resulting from the sharp correction of global stock markets over the month. Currency effects had a slight negative impact on Princess' NAV (-0.1%), as the US dollar continued to underperform the euro.

The Princess portfolio remained cash flow positive over the month as distributions continued to outpace investments. Thanks to its mature portfolio, Princess has experienced a high level of realization activity over recent quarters. Total distributions over the month were EUR 12.9 million, whereas investments totalled EUR 5.5 million. In August for instance, Princess received a EUR 7.0 million distribution from the previously announced Jack Wolfskin exit, and another EUR 1.6 million from Providence Equity Partners' sale of its remaining shareholding in German cable operator Kabel Deutschland.

During the month of August, Princess repaid its old credit facility, refinancing it with a new three-year EUR 80 million credit facility on more attractive terms. Overall, Princess' balance sheet remains in a healthy position, with net liquidity of EUR 37.4 million or 6.0% of NAV and no money drawn from the new credit facility. During September this strong liquidity position enabled Princess to make a direct mezzanine investment into Securitas Direct, the Swedish headquartered provider of monitored alarm solutions for residential and small business customers.
