Better Capital PCC Limited
Update on 2012 Cell
Better Capital PCC Limited (the "Company") is a limited liability, closed-ended investment company. The Company has established two protected cells; the 2009 Cell, the limited partner of BECAP Fund LP ("Fund I"); and the 2012 Cell, the limited partner of BECAP12 Fund LP ("Fund II"). The 2009 Cell and 2012 Cell have the investment objective of generating attractive total returns from investing (through Funds I and II respectively) in portfolios of businesses which have significant operating issues and may have associated financial distress, with a primary focus on businesses which have significant activities within the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Fund II is 66.5 per cent committed having successfully acquired its third platform investment shortly following the close of the Company's financial year and the Board is confident that the Better Capital brand is attracting sufficient opportunities for the profitable deployment of the remainder of Fund II in the near term. With the Consultant's confidence in ongoing deal flow, the Board has decided, in line with the intent stated in the Company's prospectus dated 19 December 2011, to pursue a further fundraising in the coming months by way of an issue of new shares in the 2012 Cell at a premium to NAV.
