News Release

Guernsey, 28 January 2019

Princess publishes December NAV

· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's (Princess) net asset value decreased by 1.6% to EUR 10.90 per share

· Portfolio developments (-1.3%) were negative as well as currency movements (-0.2%)

· Princess received distributions of EUR 19.7 million and invested EUR 5.0 million over the month

Princess received distributions of EUR 19.7 million during the month, including proceeds of EUR 3.8 million from a shareholder loan repayment from Vermaat, a leading Dutch outsourced hospitality and premium catering services provider. The proceeds allow Partners Group to partially de-risk its investment in Vermaat and return a substantial portion of cost to investors. The proceeds stemmed from a refinancing of the 2015 acquisition debt for Vermaat. The refinancing lowers the company's total annual interest expenses, while increasing the size of the company's revolving capital facility to cover working capital and to fund potential acquisitions. Since Partners Group's acquisition in December 2015, Vermaat has performed above initial expectations, with revenue and EBITDA above the base-case. EUR 2.9 million was received from Princess' mature legacy fund portfolio. Princess also received EUR 11.2 million from the sale of first lien loans.

Princess invested a total of EUR 5.0 million during the month, of which EUR 4.0 million was provided as additional capital to Permotio International Learning, an investment vehicle formed to create a leading international schools group through a 'buy and build' strategy. The capital will be used to fund future acquisition opportunities. The group is currently in exclusivity over two transactions and has a healthy pipeline of acquisitions. Permotio recently acquired US-based Baton Rouge International School in October 2018, adding 475 students to the group's portfolio. As of November 2018, Permotio had built a of portfolio of 33 schools in 7 countries, educating over 27'000 students. In addition to growth from acquisitions, Permotio also achieved like-for-like revenue growth from increases in fees and student enrolments.
