2 As the Company's ordinary shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market, the share price may be higher or lower than the NAV. The difference is known as a discount or premium. The Company's discount or premium to NAV is calculated by expressing the difference between the period end Euro and Sterling Share price (bid price) and the period end NAV per share as a percentage of the respective NAV per share.

3 As a result of the Company amending the frequency of its dividend payments to a quarterly basis rather than a semi-annual basis during 2016, shareholders received an additional €0.0125 and £0.0125 dividend per Euro and Sterling Share respectively.

4 During 2017, the Company increased its target annual dividend to 5.5 cents per Euro Share and 5.5 pence per Sterling Share.

chairman's statement

Introduction

I am pleased to be able to report to you on the six month period to 30 June 2019. The EUR and GBP class NAV total return (inclusive of dividends reinvested) increased by 1.43% and 2.13% respectively over the period.

Performance in context

The Company's investment policy has been, for many years, to focus on the senior secured floating rate sector of the (predominantly) European high yield markets. 80% of the Investment Vehicle's holdings at the period end were either first lien loans (65%) or senior secured bonds (15%). Further, 85% of assets held derived their income from floating, as opposed to fixed, interest rates, and more than 80% of assets derived from European issuers. I restate this because investors will have noted that European high yield fixed income markets have, over the six-month period under review, performed exceptionally strongly, and a great deal better than the Company's net asset value per share performance. However, it has never been the Company's policy to seek to take material duration or interest rate risk, or to overweight the portfolio to unsecured assets. As a result, the Company will inevitably underperform by comparison to positive fixed income market performance, but will outperform in periods of negative performance, with the objective of preserving capital. Indeed, it is worth noting that the exceptional year to date performance of fixed rate instruments reflects a consensus on the part of market participants that broadly-based increases in the risk-free rate across developed markets are off the table for the near to medium term, as global growth prospects decline in the face of a cyclical slowdown, exacerbated by President Trump's relentless use of trade tariff threats as a means of implementing US foreign policy. It would not be surprising to see quantitative easing be brought meaningfully into play once again by both the US Fed and the ECB if reported economic performance continues to deteriorate. These sorts of market conditions enable high yield markets to thrive through low gross interest expense for borrowers, and low default rates as a consequence, thus preserving the relatively derisked nature of the Company's investment strategy.

As many of the Company's shareholders are based in the UK, or otherwise exposed to UK assets, it is incumbent of me to express the board's view of risks attaching to the Company from the UK's continuing process of intended detachment from the European Union. Our current assessment is that the economic impact of the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the precise timing and shape of departure, and the long term political consequences of the departure itself, present a relatively low risk to the Company's near term performance and net asset value. We do not see the potential impacts on cross border intra-European trade as being inconsequential to the European bloc as a whole, particularly in certain industry sectors such as, for example, automotive and industrial equipment, and impacts are likely to be more acute for UK issuers. However, these risks are mitigated partly through the relatively low exposure to UK issuers within the portfolio as a whole, at around 20% at the period end, and more generally the large scale and multi-national nature of portfolio issuers, thus making them better able to withstand any Brexit-related consequences on their performance than would be the case with issuers with smaller capital structures.

Corporate activities

The Company has continued capital management operations in the ordinary course during the period under review, having both issued capital through the ongoing tap programme and redeemed capital through the quarterly tender process.

Dividend yield

The Company's dividend yield has remained stable during the period, and the Board does not foresee any changes in the near term, given current market conditions and portfolio performance.

Other matters

As always, I would like to thank my fellow Directors, the portfolio management team at CVC Credit Partners Investment Management Limited, our advisors and investment bankers for their support and wise counsel, and would also like to extend thanks to all of our shareholders for your continuing commitment to the Company.

Richard Boléat

Purpose, Investment Objective and Policy

Company purpose and investment objective

The Company's purpose and investment objective is to provide shareholders with regular income returns and capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio of predominantly sub-investment grade debt instruments.

Company asset allocation

The Company's investment policy is to invest predominantly in companies domiciled, or with material operations in, Western Europe across various industries. The Company's investments are focused on senior secured obligations of such companies but investments are also made across the capital structure of such borrowers.

The investment policy of the Investment Vehicle is subject to the following limits (the "investment limits"):

·; A minimum of 50 per cent. of the Investment Vehicle's gross assets will be invested in senior secured obligations (which, for the purposes of this investment limit will include cash and cash equivalents).

·; A minimum of 60 per cent. of the Investment Vehicle's gross assets will be invested in obligations of companies/borrowers domiciled, or with material operations, in Western Europe.

·; A maximum of 7.5 per cent. of the Investment Vehicle's gross assets will be invested at any given time in obligations of a single borrower subject to a single exception at any one time permitting investment of up to 15 per cent. in order to participate in a loan to a single borrower, provided the exposure is sold down to a maximum of 7.5 per cent. within 12 months of acquisition.

·; A maximum of 7.5 per cent. of the Investment Vehicle's gross assets will be invested in credit loan obligation securities.

·; A maximum of 25 per cent. of the Investment Vehicle's gross assets will be invested in CVC Capital Portfolio Company debt obligations calculated as invested cost as a percentage of the Investment Vehicle's gross assets.

The Investment Vehicle is permitted to borrow up to an amount equal to 100 per cent. of the NAV of the Investment Vehicle at the time of borrowing (the "borrowing limit"). The Investment Vehicle's borrowings as a percentage of the Company's NAV1 as at 31 December 2018 stood at 22.29% (31 December 2017: 24.52%).

General

The investment objective and investment policy of the Investment Vehicle are consistent with the investment objective and investment policy of the Company. In the event that changes are made to the investment objective or investment policy of the Company or of the Investment Vehicle (including the investment limits and/or the borrowing limit), the Directors will seek Shareholder approval for changes which are either (a) material in their own right or, (b) when viewed as a whole, together with previous non-material changes, constitute a material change from the published investment objective or policy of the Company.

Company borrowing limit

The Company may borrow up to 15 per cent. of the NAV of the Company for the sole purpose of purchasing or redeeming its own shares otherwise than pursuant to Contractual Quarterly Tenders. As at 30 June 2019, the Company did not have any borrowings (31 December 2018: no borrowings).

Investment strategy and approach

The Company has given effect to its investment policy by subscribing for Preferred Equity Certificates, (the "PEC's"), Series 4 and 5, issued by the Investment Vehicle. Series 4 and 5 PECs are denominated in Euro and Sterling respectively and are income distributing.

The Investment Vehicle Manager's investment strategy for the Investment Vehicle is to make investments across approximately 40 to 60 companies based on detailed fundamental analysis of the operations and market position of each company and its capital structure.

The Investment Vehicle Manager invests in the debt of larger companies and invests in companies with a minimum EBITDA of €50 million or currency equivalent at the time of investment. The Investment Vehicle Manager believes that the debt of larger companies offers a number of differentiating characteristics relative to the broader market:

(i) larger, more defensive market positions;

(ii) access to broader management talent;

(iii) multinational operations which may reduce individual customer, sector or geographic risk and provide diverse cashflow;

(iv) levers such as working capital and capital expenditure which can be managed in the event of a slowdown in economic growth; and

(v) wider access to both debt and equity capital markets.

Based on the market opportunity, the Investment Vehicle Manager invests in a range of different credit instruments across the capital structure of target companies (including, but not limited to, senior secured, second lien and mezzanine loans and senior secured, unsecured and subordinated bonds). Assets are sourced in both the new issue and secondary markets, using the sourcing networks of the Investment Vehicle Manager and in certain circumstances the CVC Group2 more broadly. The Investment Vehicle Manager's access to deals is supported by the network of contacts and relationships of its leadership team and investment professionals, as well as the strong positioning of the CVC Group in the European leveraged finance markets. CVC Capital Portfolio Companies are one of the largest sponsor led issuers of leveraged loan deals in Europe3.

Each investment considered by the Investment Vehicle Manager is built around an investment thesis and generally falls into one of two categories:

1. Performing Credit4; and

2. Credit Opportunities5.

The Investment Vehicle Manager analyses the risk of credit loss for each investment on the basis it will be held to maturity but takes an active approach to the sale of investments once the investment thesis has been realised.

Further information in respect of the Investment Vehicle portfolio and performance as at 30 June 2019 can be found in the Investment Vehicle Manager's report below.

Director interests

Information on each Director is shown below.

As at the date of approval of the half yearly financial report, Mark Tucker held 10,000 Sterling Shares in the Company.

No Director has any other interest in any contract to which the Company is a party.

Principal risks and uncertainties

When considering the total return of the Company, the Directors take account of the risk which has been taken in order to achieve that return. The Directors have carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company including those which would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity. The following risk factors have been identified and are listed below:

·; Supply and demand

·; Investment portfolio concentration

·; Liquidity

·; Foreign exchange risk

·; Macro-economic factors

·; Capital management risks

Information on these risks and how they are managed is given in the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2018. In the view of the Board these principal risks and uncertainties are as applicable to the remaining six months of the current financial year as they were in the six months under review.

The Company may be exposed to certain risks that are not disclosed within the Annual Financial Report. The Company is not necessarily free from any such risks.

Events after the reporting date

The Directors are not aware of any developments that might have a significant effect on the operations of the Company in subsequent financial periods not already disclosed in this report or the attached condensed financial statements.

Going concern

Under the AIC Code of Corporate Governance ("AIC Code") and applicable regulations, the Directors are required to satisfy themselves that it is reasonable to assume that the Company is a going concern from the date of approval of this Half Yearly Financial Report.

After reviewing the Company's budget and cash flow forecast for the next twelve months, the Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving these condensed financial statements, no material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt concerning the Company's ability to continue for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the condensed financial statements. The Directors consider it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this Half Yearly Financial Report.

Climate-related financial disclosures

In the Company's 2018 Annual Financial Report the Company recorded its support for the Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommended by the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on the subject. The Company has reviewed the Task Force's recommendations and intends to comply with them to the extent that it reasonably can recognising the feeder-type structure of the Company. During the first half of the year the Audit Committee engaged with the Investment Vehicle Manager which agreed to commence an exercise to enhance its existing ESG screening processes to specifically provide information to the Company to allow the Company to further progress toward the Task Force's voluntary disclosure recommendations. This exercise is in its initial stages and further information will be provided in the 2019 Annual Financial Statements.

Future strategy

The Board continues to believe that the investment strategy and policy adopted by the Investment Vehicle is appropriate for and is capable of meeting the Company's objectives. The overall strategy remains unchanged and it is the Directors' assessment that the Investment Vehicle Manager's resources are appropriate to properly manage the Investment Vehicle's portfolio in the current and anticipated investment environment.

Please refer to the Investment Vehicle Manager's report for detail regarding performance to date of the Investment Vehicle's investments and the main trends and factors likely to affect the future development, performance and position of those investments.

4 "Performing Credit" generally refers to senior secured loans and senior secured high yield bonds sourced in both the primary and secondary markets. The investment decision is primarily driven by a portfolio decision around liquidity, cash yield and volatility.

5 "Credit Opportunities" refers to investments where the Investment Vehicle Manager anticipates an event in a specific credit situation is likely to have a positive impact on the value of its investment. This may include events such as a repayment event before maturity, a deleveraging event, a change to the economics of the instrument such as increased margin and/or fees or fundamental or sentiment driven change in the value. The Investment Vehicle Manager seeks relative value opportunities which involve situations where market technicals have diverged from credit fundamentals often driven by selling by mandate constrained investors, CLO managers or hedge funds rebalancing their portfolios, macro views affecting different credit instrument types or sales by banks. The Investment Vehicle Manager has additional flexibility compared to mandate constrained capital and believes these assets have potential for capital gains and early cash flow generation based on the acquisition prices.

investment vehicle manager's report

SUMMARY

The gross attribution delivered by each strategy for the year to date has been consistent with the Investment Vehicle Manager's expectations. Despite the mark-to-market movements experienced in the credit opportunities strategy, where the gross return has been flat, the Investment Vehicle Manager feels that this segment of the portfolio is positioned well to deliver favourable future exit events and limited downside at the existing levels.

PORTFOLIO

As at 30 June 2019 the Investment Vehicle portfolio was invested in-line with investment policy, was diversified with 86 issuers1 (of which a range of 40 - 60 typically represent the core drivers of performance) (31 December 2018: 86) across 31 (31 December 2018: 28) different industries and 12 (31 December 2018: 17) different countries, and had exposure of no more than 2.7% (31 December 2018: 2.8%) to any single issuer.

PORTFOLIO STATISTICS2

1 Excludes 20 (31 December 2018: 12) structured finance positions.

2 Note: all metrics exclude cash unless otherwise stated.

3 Average market price of the portfolio weighted against the size of each position.

PERFORMANCE

The Investment Vehicle Manager was pleased with the performance through H1 2019. The portfolio's total return (net of fees, including dividends reinvested) was 1.4% to Euro investors and 2.1% to Sterling investors.

By strategy: (i) The Core Income segment of the portfolio delivered 2.1% to gross (excluding fund expenses, management and performance fees) portfolio performance; and (ii) the Credit Opportunities segment of the portfolio delivered a gross 0.2% return, which equates to a 0.4% gross portfolio performance contribution based on a 40% average allocation of the portfolio.

The Credit Suisse Western European HY Index hedged to Euro was up 7.65% for the year to date and the Credit Suisse European Leveraged Loan Index hedged to Euro was up 3.11% for the year to date.

MARKET REVIEW

Through H1 2019 there continued to be lower volumes seen versus the prior year across both the European High Yield ("HY") and Loans spaces, despite the strong inflows and market support. Combined Leveraged Credit (being Loans and HY) came in at €68bn versus €104bn in 2018 for the same period. Institutional loan volumes for H1 2019 were at €38bn versus €62bn in the previous year, and HY came in at €30bn versus €42bn in H1 2018.4

2019 loan volumes continued with the theme of 2018, being heavily weighted towards acquisition, at 66% and refinancing at 25%, with the balance being recaps. This M&A theme continued to add to the size of the European loan market, breaking records in approaching close to €200bn by 30 June 2019. Cross border transactions also continued as corporates sought to access global capital pools as well as diversify balance sheet financing. On the demand side, including interest in the asset class from global insurance and pension allocators, with CLO arbitrage remaining attractive in Europe the expansion of the institutional CLO market has continued in 2019 where the volume through H1 2019 came in at €14.3 billion from 34 deals, versus €14 billion from 34 deals in H2 2018, and €13.3 billion from 32 deals in H1 2018.4 From a pricing perspective, and as has been indicated as part of our 2019 outlook at the start of the year, new issues have been wide on the back of the CLO buyer driving 4% plus spreads to deliver on equity returns for transactions pricing through the period.

In HY, not unexpectedly as the market tightened up through the last quarter, most issuance was focused on refinancing at 68% for H1 2019 and 10% mergers and acquisitions, with the being balance general corporate purposes. Single B debt issued in the last 3 months priced at a 4.65% yield, which compares with 6.24% for Q2 2018. For the BB space however the YTM on a rolling 3-month basis was 3.55%, c.40bps tighter than the new issue for Q4 2018, indicating a skew by market participants to higher quality rated credit.4

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

As discussed throughout the year, across performing credit new issue volumes and pricing have remained attractive and drove portfolio positioning throughout H1 2019. As of June close, performing credit positions (including cash of 9%) represented 54.7% of the portfolio trading at a weighted average price of 100.0 and at a YTM of 4.5%, delivering 4.4% cash yield to the portfolio.

The credit opportunities portfolio has been extremely active throughout H1 2019 and likely the most active throughout the last two years. Work flows have included a number of restructurings and refinancings to position the portfolio to generate strong capital gains through the next 18-24 months. In addition, the portfolio has increased its exposure to secondary CLO equity where an attractive arbitrage has presented itself and also into new issue CLO debt that has priced at the widest levels per historic averages in contrast with the broad market where tightening is anticipated. As at June close, credit opportunities positions represented 45.3% of the portfolio, trading at a weighted average price of 86.0 and at a YTM of 10.6%, whilst delivering 7.2% cash yield to the portfolio.

At the end of H1 2019, the weighted average EBITDA remained above $500m, 80%+ in senior secured positions with floating rate instruments being the core at 85.1% of the portfolio trading at a market adjusted leverage multiple of 5.0x maintaining strong LTVs. The current yield has increased in the year to 6.1% from 5.8% as at December 2018, trading at a weighted average market price of the blended portfolio of 92.7.

With a core focus on Senior Secured Loans, the strategy has underperformed the broader liquid HY indices. Despite concerns around global growth and geopolitics, Central Bank policy (rates and QE) has supported the on-going positive technical flows into liquid risk assets including high yield globally whilst the technical flows across global loans has been mixed, where outflows continue in the USA whilst CLO creation supports the lower volumes of new issue demand.

CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK

We believe, the themes of weaker global growth and trade tension remain and central banks will be a significant driver of market sentiment and performance.

The Investment Vehicle Manager's focus will remain to continue to actively manage the performing portfolio in seeking relative value and actively trading the new issue market in an effort to deliver stable core income to the portfolio. In credit opportunities, as discussed, there continues to be a significant flow of opportunities to benchmark existing exposures and the work done in the last 9 months we anticipate will underwrite future performance.

The indices referred to herein (including the Credit Suisse Western European HY Index hedged to Euro and the Credit Suisse Western ELLI hedged to Euro) are widely recognised, unmanaged indices of market activity and have been included as general indicators of market performance. The Credit Suisse Western European HY Index is a market cap weighted benchmark index designed as an objective proxy for the investable universe of the Western European high yield debt market. The Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan indices are designed to mirror the investable universe of the Western European leveraged loan market. There are significant differences between the types of investments made or expected to be made by the Investment Vehicle and the investments covered by the indices, and the methodology for calculating returns. For example, the Credit Suisse Western European HY Index does not take transaction costs (bid-offer spreads) into account and for the month during which a coupon is paid, the cash flow is reinvested at a fixed money-market rate until the end of the month. Additionally, the Credit Suisse Western ELLI assumes that coupon payments are reinvested into an index at the beginning of each period. In contrast, the Investment Vehicle Manager may have discretion whether to reinvest such payments during any relevant investment period. It should not be assumed that the Investment Vehicle will invest in any specific equity or debt investments, such as those that comprise the indices, nor should it be understood that there will be a correlation between the Investment Vehicle's returns and those of the indices. It should not be assumed that correlations to the indices based on historical returns will persist in the future. No representation is made that the Investment Vehicle will replicate the performance of any of the indices. The indices are included for general, background informational purposes only and recipients should use their own judgment to appropriately weight or discount their relevance to the Investment Vehicle.

Directors' Statement of Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Half Yearly Financial Report in accordance with applicable Jersey law and regulations.

The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:

·; the unaudited condensed financial statements within the Half Yearly Financial Report have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union ("EU") and gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company as at 30 June 2019, as required by the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA") Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule ("DTR") 4.2.4R; and

·; the Chairman's Statement, the Investment Vehicle Manager's Report, the Executive Summary and the notes to the condensed financial statements include a fair review of the information required by:

a) DTR 4.2.7R, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the six months ended 30 June 2019 and their impact on the unaudited condensed financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

b) DTR 4.2.8R, being related party transactions that have taken place during the six months ended 30 June 2019 and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the Company during that period.

Introduction

We have been engaged by the CVC Credit Partners European Opportunities Limited (the 'Company') to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2019 which comprises the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Statement of Changes in Net Assets, the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows, and the related notes 1 to 16 to the Condensed Financial Statements. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (ISRE) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (ISRE), "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2019 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

The Company was incorporated on 20 March 2013 and is registered in Jersey as a closed-ended Investment Company. Euro Shares and Sterling Shares were admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority ("UKLA") and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 25 June 2013.

The Company's registered address is IFC1, The Esplanade, St Helier, Jersey, JE1 4BP.

2. Accounting policies

The Annual Financial Report is prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union which comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board, and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards and Standing Interpretations Committee as approved by the International Accounting Standards Committee which remain in effect. The Half Yearly Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as adopted by the European Union. They have also been prepared using the same accounting policies applied for the year ended 31 December 2018 Annual Financial Report, which was prepared in accordance with IFRS, except for new standards and interpretations adopted by the Company as set out below. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The Company applies for the first time IFRS 16 - Leases and IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, which became effective on 1 January 2019. As the Company does not participate in leasing arrangements and the Directors have determined that, as at 30 June 2019, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that would be disclosed under IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. Therefore, the application of IFRS 16 - Leases and IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, respectively, do not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but these do not have an impact on the condensed financial statements.

2.1. Going concern

After reviewing the Company's budget and cash flow forecast for the next financial period, the Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the Half Yearly Financial Report, no material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt concerning the Company's ability to continue for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the condensed financial statements. The Directors consider it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements.

2.2. Segmental reporting

The Directors view the operations of the Company as one operating segment, being the investment business. All significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company's investments as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial results of the Company as a whole, which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (the Board with insight from the Investment Vehicle Manager).

2.3. Seasonality of Operations

The Company's operations are not cyclical or seasonal in nature. As such, its performance is not subject to seasonal fluctuations.

3. Investment income

Tender fee income

The tender price pursuant to the Contractual Quarterly Tender facility is calculated based on the NAV per share (calculated as at the final business day in each quarter or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion may determine from time to time) less £0.01 or €0.01 per share respectively (being 1% of the original placing price of £1.00 and €1.00 per share (the "Original Placing Price")), which is retained by the Company. In addition, a €1,000 administration fee is withheld from the redemption proceeds of each tendering Shareholder. The Company recognises retained redemption proceeds of 1% and the administration fee as tender fee income.

During the period, 1,575,007 Euro Shares and 6,005,534 Sterling Shares have been tendered by shareholders which generated tender fee income of €87,567.

During the period, 551.32 (31 December 2018: 1,409,686.65) Euro PECs were converted into 454.88 Sterling PECs (31 December 2018: 1,216,563.83) and 996,657.64 Sterling PECs (31 December 2018: 137,895.02) were converted into 1,200,783.61 Euro PECs (31 December 2018: 159,820.35) as part of the monthly share conversion process. 1,566,376.00 Euro PECs (31 December 2018: 3,905,410.00) and 5,985,443.00 (31 December 2018: 38,854.97) Sterling PECs, were redeemed as part of the Quarterly Contractual Tender.

Compartment A

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' ("IFRS 13") requires an analysis of investments valued at fair value based on the reliability and significance of information used to measure their fair value.

The Company categorises its financial assets and financial liabilities according to the following fair value hierarchy detailed in IFRS 13, that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining their fair values:

Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.

Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable variable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

1 Please note for disclosure purposes only, ordinary shares have been disclosed at fair value using the quoted price in accordance with IFRS 13. As disclosed in note 2.4 the 2018 Annual Financial Report, the Company classifies its ordinary shares as financial liabilities held at amortised cost.

Level 3 reconciliation - Compartment A PECs

The following table shows a reconciliation of all movements in the fair value of financial instruments categorised within Level 3 between the beginning and the end of the reporting period.

During the six months ended 30 June 2019, there were no reclassifications between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

During the year ended 31 December 2018, there were no reclassifications between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs - Level 3 - PECs

The Board believes that it is appropriate to measure the PECs at the NAV of the investments held at the Investment Vehicle, adjusted for percentage holding of PECs in the Investment Vehicle.

The net asset value of the Investment Vehicle attributable to each PEC unit is 1.1564 (31 December 2018: 1.1610).

Sensitivity analysis to significant changes in unobservable inputs within Level 3 hierarchy - Level 3 - PECs

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at 30 June 2019 and comparative are as shown below:

As at 30 June 2019 (Unaudited)

As at 31 December 2018 (Audited)

The sensitivity applied in the analysis above reflects the possible impact of the worst case scenario in the 0-3% (2018: 0-3%) range that is applicable to the discount for lack of liquidity. Please refer to note 2.4 of the 2018 Annual Financial Report for valuation methodology of PECs.

8. Payables

9. Contingent liabilities

As at 30 June 2019, the Company had no contingent liabilities (31 December 2018: €nil).

10. Stated capital

Management Shares

Management Shares are non-redeemable, have no par value and no voting rights, and also no profit allocated to them for the earnings per share calculation.

11. Ordinary shares

1 Excludes 4,703,590 (30 June 2018: 10,000,000) Euro Shares and 20,961,433 (30 June 2018: 56,926,490) Sterling Shares held as treasury shares.

Ordinary shares

The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, being Euro Shares and Sterling Shares.

Each Euro Share holds 1 voting right, and each Sterling Share holds 1.17 voting rights.

As at 30 June 2019, the Company had 132,898,738 (inclusive of 4,703,590 treasury shares) (31 December 2018: 131,008,721 (inclusive of 5,178,583 treasury shares)) Euro Shares and 380,196,948 Sterling Shares (inclusive of 20,961,433 treasury shares) (31 December 2018: 359,187,965 (inclusive of 18,555,899 treasury shares)).

Sale of treasury shares

The Company completed the sale of 2,050,000 Euro and 3,600,000 Sterling treasury shares during the period ended 30 June 2019.

Share issuance

On 7 June 2019, the Company issued 21,945,963 new Sterling Shares as a price of £1.0795 per Sterling Share.

Voluntary conversion

The Company offers a monthly conversion facility pursuant to which holders of ordinary shares of one class may convert such shares into ordinary shares of any other class, subject to regulatory considerations.

Such conversion will be effected on the basis of the ratio of the NAV per class to be converted (calculated in Euro less the costs of effecting such conversion and adjusting any currency hedging arrangements and taking account of dividends resolved to be paid), to the NAV per class of the shares into which they will be converted (also calculated in Euro), in each case on the relevant conversion calculation date being the first business day of the month. During the period, 542 (30 June 2018: 464,105) Euro Shares were converted into 446 (30 June 2018: 398,583) Sterling Shares and 1,001,995 (30 June 2018: 138,868) Sterling Shares were converted into 1,209,969 (30 June 2018: 161,168) Euro Shares.

Treasury share convertor mechanism

At the 2016 Annual General Meeting the Company requested, and received, shareholder approval to create a mechanism whereby treasury shares held by the Company be converted from one currency denomination to another in accordance with the procedure set out in the Articles. As the conversion cannot take place while the treasury shares are held by the Company, it was proposed that a facility be created so that some or all of the treasury shares be sold to a related party, who would be willing to facilitate the conversion of the treasury shares from one currency denomination to another. The treasury share convertor mechanism was put in place to provide the Company with a means of converting one class into another to meet demand in the market from time to time.

Accordingly, on the 11 September 2017, the Company established the CCPEOL Purpose Trust (the "Trust"), a business purpose trust established under Jersey law. The purpose of the Trust is the facilitation of the conversion of the treasury shares by the incorporation of a company, the Conversion Vehicle, who would purchase treasury shares from the Company, convert them into shares of the other currency denomination and sell those converted shares back to the Company. The Chairman of the Company was appointed as the enforcer of the Trust.

On 21 June 2018, the Company announced the sale of 41,564,426 Euro treasury shares to the Conversion Vehicle, which completed on 22 June 2018. Subsequently, the Company issued a facilitation request pursuant to the Share Subscription, Conversion and Repurchase Agreement to the Conversion Vehicle requiring the Conversion Vehicle to convert those 41,564,426 Euro Shares held by it into Sterling Shares. The 41,564,426 Euro Shares were converted into 35,477,357 Sterling Shares at a ratio of 0.853551, calculated in accordance with the share conversion provisions appearing in the Company's Articles.

On 28 June 2018 the conversion process was completed, with the Company purchasing 35,477,357 Sterling Shares from the Conversion Vehicle and holding them in treasury. The transactions had no material impact on the Company's liquidity or NAV.

The treasury share convertor mechanism was not utilised during the period ended 30 June 2019.

Contractual Quarterly Tender facility

As the Company has been established as a closed-ended vehicle, there is no right or entitlement attaching to the ordinary shares that allows them to be redeemed or repurchased by the Company at the option of the shareholder.

The Company has, however, established a Contractual Quarterly Tender facility that enables shareholders to tender their shares in the Company in accordance with a stated contracted mechanism.

The Directors believe that the Company's Contractual Quarterly Tender facility provides shareholders with additional liquidity when compared with other listed closed-ended investment companies.

The offer of Contractual Quarterly Tenders is subject to annual shareholder approval and subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions as set out in the prospectus. The Company is subject to annual shareholder approval to tender each quarter for up to 24.99 per cent. of the shares of such class in issue at the relevant quarter record date, (being the date on which the number of shares then in issue will be recorded for the purposes of determining the restrictions), subject to a maximum annual limit of 50 per cent. of the shares of such class in issue.

However, it is important to note that Contractual Quarterly Tenders, if made, are contingent upon certain factors including, but not limited to, the Company's ability to finance tender purchases through submitting redemption requests to the Investment Vehicle to redeem a pro rata amount of Company Investment Vehicle Interests.

Factors, including restrictions at the Investment Vehicle level on the amount of PECs which can be redeemed, may mean that sufficient Company Investment Vehicle Interests cannot be redeemed and, consequently, tender purchases in any given quarter may be scaled back on a pro rata basis.

Shareholders should therefore have no expectation of being able to tender their shares to the Company successfully on a quarterly basis.

In addition to the Contractual Quarterly Tender facility, the Directors seek annual shareholder approval to grant them the power to make ad hoc market purchases of shares. If such authority is subsequently granted, the Directors will have complete discretion as to the timing, price and volume of shares to be purchased. Shareholders should not place any reliance on the willingness or ability of the Directors so to act.

In the absence of the availability of the Contractual Quarterly Tender facility shareholders wishing to realise their investment in the Company will be required to dispose of their shares on the stock market.

Accordingly, shareholders' ability to realise their investment at any particular price and/or time may be dependent on the existence of a liquid market in the shares.

Liquidity risks associated with the Contractual Quarterly Tender facility are set out in note 8.2 of the 2018 Annual Financial Report.

During the period 1,575,007 (30 June 2018: 3,933,091) Euro Shares and 6,005,534 (30 June 2018: 39,093) Sterling Shares were redeemed as part of the Contractual Quarterly Tender facility and held by the Company in the form of treasury shares. Refer above for details. Treasury shares do not carry any right to attend or vote at any general meeting of the Company. In addition, the Contractual Quarterly Tenders and the voluntary conversion facility are not available in respect of Treasury shares.

Dividends

The ordinary shares of each class carry the right to receive all income of the Company attributable to such class of ordinary share, and to participate in any distribution of such income made by the Company and within each such class such income shall be divided pari passu among the shareholders in proportion to the shareholdings of that class.

The Company issued 680,590 Euro Shares (30 June 2018: 382,576) and 64,569 Sterling Shares (30 June 2018: 126,222) during the period ended 30 June 2019 under its scrip dividend scheme.

Please refer below for amounts recognised as dividend distributions to ordinary shareholders in the periods ended 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019.

1 Recognised in the year ended 31 December 2018

2 Recognised in the period ended 30 June 2019

Please refer to note 15 for further information subsequent to the reporting period.

Basic and diluted earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share has been calculated on a weighted average basis. The weighted average number of ordinary shares held during the period ended 30 June 2019 was 469,343,995 (30 June 2018: 423,542,201), comprising 126,946,894 (30 June 2018: 123,996,264) Euro Shares and 342,397,101 (30 June 2018: 299,545,937) Sterling Shares.

There have been no transactions involving the Company's Euro or Sterling Shares between 30 June 2019 and 26 September 2019.

12. Net asset value per share

NAV per share has been calculated based on the share capital in issue as at period end, excluding shares held in treasury, which as at 30 June 2019 comprised of 128,195,148 Euro Shares (31 December 2018: 125,830,138) and 359,235,515 Sterling Shares (31 December 2018: 340,632,066).

14. Related party disclosure

The Directors are entitled to remuneration for their services. Please refer to note 6 for further detail.

Transactions between the Company and the Trust and Conversion Vehicle are disclosed in note 4 and 11.

Richard Boleat acts as the enforcer of the Trust, a business purpose trust established under Jersey law and settled by the Company. The role has arisen as a result of the implementation of the resolution passed at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 4 April 2016 which authorised the Company to make arrangements to enable the conversion of treasury shares held by the Company from time to time from one currency denomination to another. The position is unremunerated and represents an alignment of interests with those of the Company.
