Guernsey, 22 December 2010

Princess NAV increases by 4.6% in November

The net asset value (NAV) of Princess showed a strong positive performance in November, closing the month at EUR 8.68 per share. This is an increase of 4.58% compared to the October NAV and leads to a NAV development of +18.34% since the end of 2009. The companies in the Princess portfolio continued to show improvements in operating performance during the month and contributed +1.33% to the NAV. Due to the rebound of the US dollar against the euro, foreign exchange movements also had a positive effect on the NAV of +3.44%. During the past month, Princess partially reset the USD put option hedging contract with a new strike of USD 1.36 and maturity in November 2011, generating net cash proceeds of EUR 12 million.

Princess has also made further progress with regards to the announced repositioning and recently signed purchase and sale agreements (the Agreements) for four buyout funds. This first tranche of the secondary sales program will generate cash proceeds of approximately EUR 27 million and release Princess of EUR 12 million in unfunded commitments. Settlement of the transactions is expected within the coming weeks. The second tranche of the secondary sales program, with expected cash proceeds of EUR 20-25 million, is currently expected to close in the next four to six weeks. The Company intends to release further details on the secondary sales program in its monthly report as of 31 December 2010.

Urs Wietlisbach, member of Princess' Board of Directors and Executive Vice Chairman of Partners Group, the Investment Advisor, comments: "After the launch of the share buyback program last week, the signing of the Agreements for the first tranche of the secondary sales program further demonstrates the strong progress in terms of the strategic repositioning of Princess. The secondary sales program should help implement the announced share buyback program and also provide investment capacity for new attractive direct investments in the future, thus enabling the Company to continue to build on its strong NAV development of the current year."

Further information is available in the monthly report which can be accessed via http://www.princess-privateequity.net/en/investor_relations/reports.php?ml.
