Princess Priv E Regulatory News (PEY)

News Release

Guernsey, 24 June 2014

+1.4% in May - Direct investment drives NAV growth

è Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value (NAV) increased by 1.4% to EUR 8.05 per share, adjusted for the interim dividend of EUR 0.27 per share

è Overall portfolio developments (1.2%) and currency movements (0.4%) have been positive

è Princess deployed EUR 2.4 million to new and existing direct investments and received EUR 2.8 million in distributions

In May, Princess' investment in Action, a Netherlands-based non-food discount retailer, had its carrying value written up due to Action's consistent year on year earnings growth and the inclusion of additional public comparables. The favourable revaluation was the main driver behind Princess' NAV growth during the period.

Also in May, Princess' investment in Permotio International Learning, an investment vehicle formed to give Partners Group clients access to the creation of a leading international schools group, completed its first acquisition. Colegios Laude operates several internationally-oriented schools across Spain, providing bilingual education to both local and expat communities. The schools are well regarded and to date have been resilient despite the tough economic environment in Spain. Permotio's management team now plans to focus on completing further acquisitions while implementing value-creation initiatives targeted at improving the learning experience, the managerial capabilities within the schools and their key marketing activities.

Distributions over the reporting period came predominately from Princess' legacy fund portfolio. The investment in Applus Group, a Spain-headquartered inspection, certification and technological services company in both the automotive and non-destructive testing and inspection markets was successfully realized by ICG European Fund 2006. The company went public on the Madrid stock exchange and repaid the mezzanine financing provided by the investment partner. Since the investment in the company in 2007, Applus Group had doubled its revenues to over EUR 1.5 billion in 2013, of which it generated 60% outside Europe. The strong development was driven by its international growth strategy and resulted in more than 20 overseas acquisitions since 2007.
