News Release
Guernsey, 22 November 2013
Princess reports October NAV - Positive net cash flow
è Princess' net asset value (NAV) fell slightly by 0.1% to EUR 8.31 per share
è Stable development of the portfolio (+0.1%) has been offset by a negative FX impact (-0.1%)
è Positive net cash flow of EUR 3.1 million in October
During the month, distributions from Princess' mature portfolio amounted to EUR 4.1 million and have been received from several different investments. Amongst others, the distributions came from the Company's commitments to OCM Mezzanine Fund II and ICG European Fund 2006. New investments in October totalled EUR 1.0 million.
After the review period, Princess' Board of Directors announced that on 18 December 2013 a second interim dividend of EUR 0.27 will be paid on each Ordinary Share. The relevant date for the entitlement to the dividend (record date) will be 22 November 2013 and the corresponding ex-dividend date was 20 November 2013.
The total dividend due to shareholders is therefore EUR 0.53 per share for the year, including the first interim dividend of EUR 0.26 per share distributed in June. This translates into a dividend yield of 6.4% on NAV per share (as of 31 October 2013) and a yield of 7.9% on Princess' share price, based on the 31 October 2013 closing price on the London Stock Exchange. Princess has a dividend policy to distribute 5-8% p.a. of opening NAV via two interim dividends following the publication of the quarterly reports as of 31 March and 30 September.
