Princess made an additional commitment of EUR 40 million to Partners Group Direct Equity 2016 program (previously announced following approval by the Board in November 2016) which held a closing during the month. This follows Princess' initial commitment of EUR 40 million to the program. As part of the equalization process to ensure equal treatment of investors in the program, Princess was subject to net capital calls of EUR 8.5 million (being the net of the equalization adjustments for each of Princess' commitments to the program). To-date Princess has committed a total of EUR 80 million to the Direct 2016 program, of which EUR 54.9 million remained undrawn as of month-end.

Distributions during January amounted to EUR 1.3 million of which EUR 1.1 million stemmed from the legacy fund portfolio.

Furthermore, Partners Group agreed to acquire a stake in Cerba Healthcare (Cerba), a leading operator of clinical pathology laboratories with a number one position in France and strong market positions in Belgium and Luxembourg. The majority of Cerba's revenues are generated via routine lab tests. The company also focuses on specialty lab testing for more complex medical diagnoses and testing services for clinical trials. Cerba's clients include private patients, physicians, labs, private and public hospitals, retirement and nursing homes, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies. The company employs almost 4,300 people, including 350 biologists, and generated revenues of approximately EUR 630 million in 2016. Princess will participate in the transaction which is expected to close in the coming months.
