Princess publishes October NAV

News Release

 

Guernsey, 19 November 2010

 

Princess publishes October NAV

 

After a positive performance of +13.80% during the first three quarters of 2010, the net asset value (NAV) of Princess decreased slightly during the month of October by 0.56% to EUR 8.30 per share. The companies in Princess' portfolio continued the positive development of the past few quarters with a positive impact of +1.06% on the NAV. Investments in the mid-cap buyout and venture capital segments particularly contributed to this favorable development. However, foreign exchange movements had an adverse effect on the NAV due to the continued recovery of the euro against the US dollar during the past month. Additionally, Princess made further progress with regards to the announced repositioning of the portfolio and the first tranche of the current secondary sales program is expected to close in December 2010. Princess expects to announce valuation details on the secondary sales after the closing of the respective transactions.

 

In October, Princess received EUR 10.2 million in distributions from exited portfolio companies compared to EUR 5.8 million in drawdowns for new investments. Amongst others, Princess received a EUR 1.6 million distribution from the exit of the US restaurant chain Logan's Roadhouse, which generated a return of approximately 4.5x the original investment and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 50%.

 

Urs Wietlisbach, member of Princess' Board of Directors and Executive Vice Chairman of Partners Group, the Investment Advisor, comments: "The successful exit of Logan's Roadhouse underlines the high quality and maturity of Princess' portfolio, which is well positioned to generate further significant distributions to Princess in the future. These distributions from realized portfolio companies, coupled with the anticipated cash proceeds from the secondary sales, should facilitate the implementation of the announced repositioning measures and enable an earlier resumption of dividend payments, and possible share buy-backs, in the months to come."

 

Further information is available in the October monthly report which can be accessed via http://www.princess-privateequity.net/en/investor_relations/reports.php?ml.

 

Ends.
