Princess Q4 2022 results presentation

Princess will hold a quarterly investor update today Tuesday, 28 February 2023, at 10:00 GMT / 11:00 CET. During the webcast, Partners Group, the Investment Manager to Princess, will give an update on the recent developments of the Princess portfolio based on unaudited figures as of 31 December 2022. Please find the registration details below or on the Company's webpage.

The results presentation is now available at: https://www.princess-privateequity.net/en/investor-relations/web-cast-live-events/.

Discontinuation of hedging

The foreign exchange ("FX") hedging strategy of the Investment Manager prioritized net asset value ("NAV") stability in times of more significant changes in exchange rates against the Euro. To align with the investment company universe, the board has agreed for Princess to discontinue with the hedging of currency exposures from 1 April 2023. The contracts which are currently in place are of a short duration and will be closed out as of 31 March. The Company will report the underlying investment currencies, to allow investors who prefer a hedged exposure to apply their own hedging overlay. Ceasing hedging will reduce the volatility of cash flows while increasing NAV volatility as a result of changing FX rates.

Extension and increase to the revolving credit facility

The Company has entered into an extension and a modest increase in the size of its senior revolving credit facility ("facility") with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc. The previous facility of EUR 110m was due to expire on 14 December 2024. The facility will be increased to EUR 140 million and the term extended to 13 December 2026. The terms of the extension and increase were made at substantially similar terms.

The Company takes a conservative approach to balance sheet management, while aiming to maintain a high investment level at approximately 95% - 100%. The facility supports these objectives as well as providing the Company with the flexibility to manage short-term funding requirements.

Dividend reconfirmed

The dividend objective to pay 5% of opening NAV through semi-annual payments is reconfirmed, with the first payment for FY23 expected to be EUR 0.36 payable in June 2023. The prospective dividend yield for FY23 is in excess of 7% at the current share price.

Changes to board composition

After serving as Chair since August 2018 and a Princess board member for 13 years, Richard Battey will be stepping down from the board and the role of Chair by not standing for re-election at the annual general meeting ("AGM") in June 2023. All other board members will stand for re-election. Subject to the members' re-election, Steve Le Page will assume the role of Chair from the date of the AGM, Merise Wheatley will become Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, Fionnuala Carvill will become Chair of the Management Engagement Committee, and Felix Haldner, as Advisory Partner for Partners Group will remain as the Investment Manager representative on the Princess board.

Ends.
