News Release

Guernsey, 24 February 2016

Princess publishes January NAV

· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value ("NAV") down by 1.1% to EUR 9.40 per share

· Overall portfolio developments (-0.9%) and currency movements (-0.1%) were negative

· Princess received distributions of EUR 2.8 million and invested EUR 0.2 million

During January, Princess received a total of EUR 1.4 million in distributions from its legacy fund portfolio. The largest distribution from the direct portfolio stemmed from Food Company 1 (EUR 0.9 million), a leading US-based distributor of food, serving restaurants, hospitals and governmental institutions.

Furthermore, Partners Group agreed to acquire a significant minority stake in Hortifruti from Bozano Investimentos, on behalf of its clients. Princess will invest a total of approximately EUR 2.4 million. The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, subject to antitrust approval. Founded in 1989, the Brazilian whole foods retailer has 40 stores across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Espírito Santo, offering fresh products including fruit and vegetables, dairy products, groceries and meat. Recognized for high-quality products, Hortifruti employs over 6'600 people with about 2 million monthly customers and is well-placed to capture the growing consumption trend towards healthier food products. Post-acquisition, Partners Group intends to work with Hortifruti on various value creation initiatives, including opening new stores and expanding its private labels and distribution network.
