Princess Private Equity Holding Ltd

23 June 2015

News Release

Guernsey, 23 June 2015

Princess' NAV up by 1.4%

è Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess") net asset value ("NAV") up by 1.4% to EUR 8.84 per share, adjusted for the interim

dividend of EUR 0.27 per share

è Overall portfolio developments (+1.1%) and currency movements (+0.5%) were positive for the month

è Princess received distributions of EUR 3.8 million and had no capital calls in May

The largest single contributor to Princess' favorable performance over the reporting period was the direct private equity investment in a US based financial services company which provides mortgage and consumer loan processing services, mortgage settlement services, default solutions and loan performance analytics. As of June 2014, the company was restructured into two separate companies and on 20 May 2015 one part went public. This part of the investment is now valued based on its share price, resulting in a write-up.

Distributions for the month came predominately from Princess' legacy third party fund portfolio (EUR 3.6 million).  

Also in May, Verisk Analytics, an American data analytics and risk assessment firm, completed the acquisition of Wood Mackenzie, a provider of commercial intelligence for the energy, metals and mining industries. Princess provided debt capital to Wood Mackenzie in 2012 to support the acquisition of the company by Hellman & Friedman. The change of ownership triggered the repayment of EUR 0.8 million debt financing which will be received shortly.
