News Release

Guernsey, 25 August 2016

Stable performance in July

· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value ("NAV") stands at EUR 9.78 per share

· Overall portfolio developments (+0.3%) were positive while currency movements (-0.1%) were slightly negative

· Princess received distributions of EUR 5.0 million from exited investments and invested EUR 13.2 million

Distributions during the month came predominantly from Princess' legacy third party fund portfolio (EUR 2.5 million). Princess also received proceeds of EUR 1.3 million following the realization of US-based semiconductor manufacturer Freescale Semiconductor. Partners Group first invested in Freescale as part of a consortium in 2006, but the company experienced a significant decline in orders during the financial crisis which required it to reduce its cost base. Freescale subsequently held its IPO in 2011, raising the necessary capital to restructure its debt and held a secondary offering in 2014. The company was acquired by Dutch competitor NXP Semiconductors in a cash-and-stock transaction in December 2015, which valued the combined enterprise at over USD 40 billion. Princess received the cash proceeds from the transaction in April this year and subsequently sold the stock component in July.

Princess invested a total of EUR 13.2 million during the month, of which EUR 11.6 million was allocated to PCI Pharma Services (PCI). Partners Group acquired the global pharmaceutical services provider from selling private equity firm Frazier Healthcare Partners. Headquartered in Philadelphia, USA, PCI offers outsourced services across the entire pharmaceutical supply chain, including drug development and manufacturing, clinical trials and packaging services. The company has a diverse customer base of more than 350 companies, including the world's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. PCI employs more than 2'800 people across the US and Europe, and generated sales of over USD 475 million in 2015. Following the acquisition, Partners Group plans to work closely with PCI's management team to add more specialized offerings to the product range and expand the company, both organically and through complementary add-on acquisitions.

On 18 August Princess held a conference call to update investors on the company's performance and the development of its portfolio during the second quarter of 2016. The presentation and replay facility are now available on the company's website:
