Princess Priv E Regulatory News (PEY)

News Release

Guernsey, 25 July 2016

Princess NAV increases by 1.3% in June

· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value ("NAV") increased by 1.3% to EUR 9.78 per share

· Overall portfolio developments (+1.8%) were positive while currency movements (-0.1%) were slightly negative

· Princess received distributions of EUR 66.4 million from exited investments and invested EUR 14.0 million

Portfolio companies Action, VAT Group AG (VAT) and KinderCare Education were amongst the largest value drivers in June. Action, one of Western Europe's largest non-food discount retailers based in the Netherlands, was written up due to continued strong earnings growth, as the company continued its program of new store openings. Another material contributor to Princess' performance was VAT which recorded a positive share price development during June (+12.4% in CHF), following its over-subscribed IPO in April. KinderCare Education, a leading provider of early childhood education and care services for children aged six weeks to twelve years old, reported higher than forecasted center occupancy rates and an increase in EBITDA for the second quarter 2016.

Distributions during the month had a positive impact on Princess' net liquidity position. Princess received gross proceeds of EUR 57.7 million following the realization of MultiPlan, Inc., control of which was acquired by Hellman & Friedman. As part of the transaction, Princess retained a minority investment in the company, reinvesting a portion of its proceeds (EUR 9.9 million) alongside Hellman & Friedman to participate in further value creation opportunities, such as the continued development of MultiPlan's fraud, waste and abuse product offering.

Princess also received EUR 4.3 million from the sale of Strategic Partners, a leading US supplier of healthcare apparel. Since investment in August 2012, Strategic Partners has embarked on numerous value creation initiatives, including the development and launch of innovative new products and clothing lines, the optimization of the company's supply chain, and the further broadening of its client base.

During June, Princess invested a total of EUR 14.0 million, of which EUR 9.9 million was allocated to the roll-over investment in MultiPlan, Inc. referred to above. Princess made two new private debt investments during the month, investing EUR 2.1 million in the second lien senior debt of a distributor of radio frequency, microwave and millimeter wave products (company name is subject to confidentiality agreement) and EUR 1.1 million in the first lien debt of Netsmart, a provider of software and technology solutions to the healthcare industry.

Princess will hold an investor conference call on 18 August 2016, at 10:00 BST to update interested parties on the recent developments of the Princess portfolio. The information announced will refer to unaudited figures as of 30 June 2016.
