("SEQI" or the "Company")

Portfolio update

As of 29 October 2021, the Company had cash of £96.6m and had drawn £90.2m on its revolving credit facility. The Company also had undrawn commitments on existing investments collectively valued at £45.9m. The Company's invested portfolio consisted of 65 private debt investments and 11 infrastructure bonds across 8 sectors and 30 sub-sectors. It had an annualised yieldtomaturity (or yieldtoworst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.8% and a cash yield of 5.9%. The weighted average portfolio life is approximately 4.3 years. Private debt investments represented 95% of the total portfolio and 50% of the portfolio comprised floating rate assets. Investments which are preoperational represented 10% of total assets.

 

The Company's invested portfolio remains geographically diverse with 47% located across the US, 18% in the UK, 30% in Europe, and 5% in Australia/New Zealand. Currently the Company is not investing in Portugal or Italy but has selectively invested in opportunities in Spain. The Company's pipeline of economic infrastructure debt investments remains strong and is diversified by sector, subsector, and jurisdiction. At month end, approximately 100% of the Company's NAV consisted of either Sterling assets or was hedged into Sterling. The Company has adequate resources to cover margin calls on its hedging book.

 

Overall, the portfolio continues to perform solidly. As economies re-open, a number of underperforming assets in the transport sector especially have seen significant improvements in their revenues. For example, the Talen 10.5% 2026 bonds, which fell sharply in August, are up just over 20% over the course of September and October. The decrease in asset valuations is mainly attributable to the decline in the valuation of the Salt Lake Potash investment.

 

As recently communicated, Salt Lake Potash, (1.8% of NAV) announced a Voluntary Administration of the company on 20 October 2021. The lender group has appointed KordaMentha, a leading Australian restructuring and advisory firm, as receivers for the lender group. Under Australian restructuring processes, receivers act for the benefit of lenders and can take a variety of measures including trade sales of the company, debt sales or other restructuring activities to preserve lender value and maximise recovery. This work is currently ongoing. The Investment Adviser notes that the cost base of the project and equity invested to date materially exceeds the total debt quantum and that a similar potash project utilising evaporative production processes for sulphate of potash production has recently achieved first production, albeit with reportedly similar ramp-up issues as SO4. Whilst it is too early to comment on the eventual recovery percentage of our investment, our senior secured position should position us strongly in the restructuring process.

 

The Investment Adviser is highly focused on this position, as well as two other underperforming assets which include a loan to a UK energy supply company and a US property operated a private school. We will continue to update investors when appropriate.

 

The Company's settled investment activities during October include:

• A €55m loan to Project Nimble, a data centre based in the Netherlands;

• An additional $720,000 disbursement to Lanthanum, a leading developer of hyperscale data centres in Virginia;

• An additional $5.3 loan to Sunrun Radcliffe, a US-based manufacturer of solar energy equipment;

• An additional £1.1m loan to Clyde Street Facility B, a development Glasglow.

The following assets sold or prepaid in October:

• A partial sale of £4.2m of Voyage Care 2023 bonds, a care home provider for people with disabilities;

• A partial sale of €1.3m of Ziton Senior Secured 2023 bonds, a specialised operations and maintenance service provider for offshore wind farms.
