* As the Company changed its year end in 2010, the ten-year figures are for the 121 month period to 30 April 2019.Emma Osborne, Head of Private Equity Fund Investments, ICG, commented: “We are pleased with the performance of the portfolio in what is typically a quarter in which managers tend not to revalue unrealised investments significantly. All parts of the portfolio contributed to growth, and the portfolio remains cash generative with several full and partial realisations in the three months. We remain highly selective in redeploying capital and have a strong pipeline of new opportunities, and the portfolio is well positioned to continue to generate shareholder value.” Enquiries Analyst / Investor enquiries: +44 (0) 20 3201 7700 Emma Osborne, Head of Private Equity Fund Investments, ICG Owen Jones, Investor Relations, ICG Media:Alicia Wyllie, Co-Head of Corporate Communications, ICG +44 (0) 20 3201 7994Vikki Kosmalska, Associate Partner, Maitland +44 (0) 20 7379 5151Disclaimer This report may contain forward looking statements.
