Two successful exits for Princess

News Release

Guernsey, 23 March 2010

Two successful exits for Princess realizing a money multiple of over 3x each

After first signs of a re-opening of the private equity exit window in the past six months, Princess experienced another good month for realizations in March with two portfolio companies representing almost one percent of NAV closing sale agreements at high money multiples. Tommy Hilfiger, one of the world's best known designer apparel groups and one of the 20 largest portfolio companies in the Princess portfolio in terms of NAV, is expected to be sold to Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation for EUR 2.2 billion. During its ownership of the firm, Princess partnership Apax US VII actively supported Tommy Hilfiger in regaining its status as a high-end clothing brand by improving product quality and introducing a global marketing campaign. The exit is expected to generate a return of between 4.5x and 5x the original investment. Furthermore, Princess partnership Newbridge Asia III sold Parkway Holdings, a Singapore-based provider of healthcare services, to the Indian healthcare provider Fortis, realizing a return of three times its original investment.

Dr. Stephan Schäli, Partner and Head Private Equity at Princess' investment advisor Partners Group, comments: "The highly successful exits of Tommy Hilfiger and Parkway Holdings underline the high quality of the portfolio companies in the Princess portfolio. In addition to the very attractive returns, these two exits alone are expected to generate distributions of almost one percent of the Princess NAV. With its high number of mature portfolio companies, Princess should be well positioned to capitalize on a further normalization of the exit environment."
