Silvercloud (Le Chameau) revaluation
The Company holds all its investments through Marwyn Value Investors L.P. (the "Master Fund"). For the estimated NAV as at 31 December 2021, the Master Fund's investment in Silvercloud Holdings Limited (through which the investment in Le Chameau is held) attributable to the ordinary shares has been revalued to £18.90m from a previous carrying value of £13.08m. This reflects the continued strong performance of Le Chameau through 2021, delivering double-digit % revenue growth, in both its retailer and direct e-commerce channels, along with an increase in gross margin and underlying profitability. The new value of the investment represents 18.54% of the NAV of the ordinary shares as at 31 December 2021.
Potential settlement of VAT reclaim
The estimated net asset value per ordinary share as at 31 December 2021 does not include any amounts relating to the settlement of VAT reclaims arising from a historic investment in Praesepe plc, which operates in the gaming industry (as announced by the Company on 7 September 2021) due to the significant uncertainty of the amount and timing of any such settlement.
Prepared on the following basis:
* The inception to date movement is based on the combined weighted average NAV of Marwyn Value Investors I, II and B shares prior to their amalgamation, using the conversion ratio published on 17 April 2008.
** The total return inception to date movement is based on the reinvestment of dividends paid to shareholders into the Company and is calculated on a cum-income basis.
