News Release

Guernsey, 31 January 2014

Three new direct investments

è Princess' unaudited net asset value (NAV) increased by 1.1% to EUR 8.09 per share

è Princess deployed EUR 14.0 million to new direct investments and received EUR 9.4 million in distributions

è Growth due to positive portfolio developments (+1.8%) has been partially offset by adverse currency movements (-0.4%)

In line with Princess' strategy to transition its portfolio to a pure direct investment vehicle, Partners Group completed new direct investments in a Swiss based pharmaceutical company and a US based financial services provider in December.

The US financial services company provides mortgage and consumer loan processing services, mortgage settlement services, default solutions and loan performance analytics. Going forward, Partners Group is to support the company in making strategic add-on investments, strengthening its relationships with banks and mortgage originators and optimizing its product offering.

In addition Princess provided mezzanine financing in the acquisition of Well Intervention Services by EQT VI.

Deal flow remains strong with a number of investments agreed and expected to fund during the first quarter of 2014. In addition to the previously announced investments in an industrial company and Hofmann Menü Manufaktur, Princess also participated in the mezzanine debt refinancing of London headquartered European coffee house chain, Caffè Nero. Adjusting for all investments in closing as of Month end brings the pro-forma investment level to 80.8% while the pro-forma allocation to direct investments will increase to 44.0%.

Additionally, during December, Princess received distributions via a dividend recapitalization from its recent direct investment in an education publisher.

Princess will hold an investor conference call today on 31 January 2014, at 9:30 am GMT to update interested parties on the recent developments of the Princess portfolio. The information announced will refer to unaudited figures as of 31 December 2013.
