Net Asset Value as at 30 June 2017 and Investment Update

Ordinary Share update

SEQI's NAV increased to 101.34p per share from 101.22p per share on 31st May 2017 which arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.42p;

· A decrease of 0.04p in asset valuations;

· A decrease of 0.25p from FX movements;

During June, the Company had invested or committed to invest a total of £72.1m which resulted in the total invested portfolio representing approximately 77.9% of the Company's NAV as of the 30th June 2017. At month-end, the Company had gross leverage of £40m which has been drawn and partially deployed, and represents approximately 5.3% of NAV.

The portfolio held 29 private debt investments and 17 infrastructure bonds for a total of 46 investments that covered 8 sectors and 24 subsectors, and are collectively valued at £567.2m including accrued interest with an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 7.7% and a weighted average life across the acquired portfolio of approximately 4.8 years.

The weighted average purchase price of the Company's acquired investments was approximately 96.5% of par, and of those, only 14% had some form of construction risk.

During June, Sterling fell slightly against the Euro but rose sharply against the Dollar, ending the month at €1.1398 and $1.3025 respectively, and the Bloomberg USD High Yield Corporate Bond Index fell slightly to 178.4. As of the 30th June 2017, approximately 88% of NAV consisted of either Sterling assets or was hedged into Sterling.

The Company has adequate resources to cover the cash costs associated with its hedging activities. Each of its FX hedge providers has credit lines to the Company which means that the margin calls on the hedge portfolio have been modest.

Approximately 44% of the invested portfolio comprises floating rate assets, with only two LIBOR floors above current LIBOR levels (EUR). As such, the portfolio's yield is likely to rise over time as LIBOR increases. The Company expects the floating rate proportion to exceed 50% once the proceeds of the recent equity issue are deployed.

The Company's investment activities during June include:

· First drawdown of £8.3m for the construction of a student housing development in Glasgow;

· The primary participations in the Apollo Aviation 2017-1 C notes and the Heathrow 3.875% 2027 bonds, whose par values amount to $7.5m and £10m respectively;

· Incremental investments in the following assets:

o $3.6m of Apollo Aviation 2016-2 C notes;

o $12.5m of IO Data Centers loan;

o $5m of Global Ship Lease 10% 2019 bonds;

o $7m of Talen Energy's 6.5% 2025 bonds;

Lastly, the £30mm FC Beamish Bidco deal prepaid in June which was in-line with the Company's expectations.

Market Summary

A total of 17 project finance transactions closed in June throughout the Company's eligible jurisdictions, and worth, in aggregate, $4.05bn. Notable transactions include the South Western Rolling Stock project to purchase trains for South Western in the UK, which received £1,015m of financing of which £895m was debt, and the 365MW Vortex UK Solar PV Portfolio Refinancing, which received £355m in debt funding.

Eurozone growth was strong in June, with unemployment throughout the region at an eight year low and factory activity at a six year high. While inflation was still below the 2 per cent target, Mario Draghi signalled that the ECB may begin to tighten its economic policy.

The Federal Reserve raised rates in the middle of the month and signalled that they may increase rates once more during 2017. The unexpected outcome of the General Election led to more uncertainty about the direction the British economy will take.
