9 October 2009

NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or "the Company"), a closed-end private equity fund of funds investment company, today announced an updated Net Asset Value ("NAV").

As of 30 September 2009, NBPE's unaudited NAV per share was \$8.64, representing an increase of 1.5% compared to the unaudited NAV per share of \$8.52 at 31 August 2009.

The value of NBPE's private equity portfolio as presented in the September 2009 monthly report was based on the following information:

• 20% of the private equity fair value was held in credit-related fund investments that were re-valued as of 30 September 2009
• 7% of the private equity fair value was held in publicly traded securities that were revalued as of 30 September 2009

• 16% of the private equity fair value was held in private co-investments using valuation information through 30 June 2009

During September, NBPE's portfolio value increased due to \$4.9 million of positive markto-market adjustments on credit-related fund investments, \$0.8 million of unrealized gains related to public equity securities and \$0.9 million of positive foreign exchange adjustments.

NBPE expects to issue an interim management report for the period ended 30 September 2009 during mid-November. The interim management report will include commentary on the Company's performance during the period and will provide substantially the same level of information to investors and research analysts as disclosed in previous reports. The Company is required to consider, and will consider, all known material information in preparing such management report, including information that may become known subsequent to the issuance of this monthly report. Accordingly, amounts included in the interim management report may differ from this monthly report.

NBPE also expects to continue to provide regular NAV updates within seven business days of each month's end.
