INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

 

Investments during the period

On 31 May 2018, the Company made a further growth capital investment of £1.15 million into MyTutor, a digital marketplace connecting school pupils seeking private one-to-one tutoring with university students.

 

On 15 June 2018, £0.09 million was invested into Proactive Investors, an existing portfolio company, and provider of media services and investor conferences. This further investment was previously agreed as part of the original investment in January 2018.

 

 

Investments following the period end

On 13 August 2018, the Company made a new investment of £0.63 million into Rotageek, a provider of workforce management software using data-driven technologies to schedule staff effectively and fairly.

 

Realisations following the period end

On 28 August 2018, the Company realised its investment in Fullfield, receiving cash proceeds of £0.86 million. This realisation contributed to a return of 1.2 times the original investment cost and an IRR of 5.0% in the seven years that this investment was held.

 

On 7 September 2018, £0.30 million cash proceeds was received from the sale of Hemmels Limited, a restorer of classic cars. The sale represented a realised loss of £0.37 million on the original investment cost over the six months this investment was held.

 

The impact of both the above realisations is immaterial to the Net Asset Value per share reported above as at 30 June 2018. Accordingly, both will be reflected in the Company's results for the financial year ending 30 September 2018.

 

 

LOAN STOCK AND PREFERENCE SHARE REPAYMENTS

 

On 30 April 2018, The Plastic Surgeon Holdings Limited (formerly TPSFF Holdings Limited) repaid its remaining loan stock of £0.08 million.

 

On 25 May 2018, MPB Group Limited repaid its C loan stock of £0.15 million.

 

Following the period end, on 31 July 2018, The Plastic Surgeon Holdings Limited bought back £0.05 million of A preference shares owned by the Company.
