The company will use the funds to support the acquisition of one of the largest providers of engineered, tubular steel structures used in electricity transmission and distribution. The acquisition is envisaged to increase revenues through cross-selling opportunities, as well as provide cost synergies by streamlining manufacturing operations. Princess first invested in the company in 2012. Following the add-on investment, Princess' total exposure amounts to EUR 1.5 million. The investment is confidential due to contractual obligations.

Distributions over the reporting period amounted to EUR 4.2 million and came predominately from Princess' mature legacy fund portfolio.
