COMPANY OVERVIEW

NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or "the Company") is a closed-end investment company registered under the laws of Guernsey managed by NB Alternatives Advisers LLC (the "Investment Manager"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Neuberger Berman Group LLC. NBPE invests in private equity funds managed by leading sponsors, including funds of funds managed by the Investment Manager, and makes direct private equity investments alongside leading sponsors ("co-investments"). NBPE's investment objective is to produce attractive returns on its capital from its private equity investments while managing investment risk through portfolio diversification across asset class, vintage year, geography, industry, and sponsor.

INVESTMENT MANAGER COMMENTARY

During November, NBPE funded \$2.5 million to the previously announced co-investment in Boa Vista, a Brazilian credit information bureau. During 2012, including the aforementioned new commitment, NBPE has participated in thirteen direct yielding and direct co-investments.

Including new investment activity, NBPE invested \$4.3 million into private equity investments and received \$18.1 million of distributions, including \$4.6 million of aggregate proceeds from the realization of Suddenlink Communications and dividend proceeds from RAC Limited, during November. As a result of this investment activity, the Company's private equity investment level was 99% of NAV on a pro forma basis at 30 November 2012. Approximately 58% of the contributions were invested in buyout co-investments, 26% were invested in growth equity/venture funds, 10% were invested in buyout funds, and 6% were invested in special situations funds. The majority of the distributions during the month were from the aforementioned direct yielding investment in Suddenlink Communications and equity co-investment in RAC Limited, a fund investment in OCM Opportunities Fund VIIb, and returns of capital from the NB Alternatives Direct Coinvestment Program.

Pro forma for the closing of NBPE's amendment and extension of its credit facility, as of 30 November 2012, the unaudited, pro forma NAV per share was \$11.36 (see endnote 2 for actual performance), which represents a decrease of 0.4% compared to the unaudited restated NAV per share of \$11.41 at 31 October 2012. During November, NBPE's portfolio value decreased due to \$0.9 million of unrealized losses on public securities and less than \$0.1 million of negative foreign exchange adjustments. These losses were offset by \$0.8 million of unrealized gains on credit-related fund investments and \$0.7 million of unrealized gains attributable to the receipt of Q3 2012 valuation information. There were no shares repurchased during the month of November.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The Company carries its private equity investments on its books at fair value using the best information it has reasonably available to determine or estimate fair value. Publicly traded securities are valued based on quoted prices as of the last day of the relevant period less discounts to reflect legal restrictions, if any, that affect marketability. The Company determines such values for publicly traded securities held directly as well as known public positions held in the underlying private equity investments on a look-through basis. The Company estimates fair value for private interests based on a methodology that begins with the most recent information available from the general partner of the underlying fund or the lead investor of a direct coinvestment, and considers subsequent transactions, such as drawdowns or distributions, as well as other information judged to be reliable that reports or indicates valuation changes, including realizations and other portfolio company events. The Company proactively re-values its investments before it has received updated information from the fund manager or lead sponsor if it becomes aware of material events that justify a change in valuation. If the Company concludes that it is probable an investment will be sold, the Company will adjust the carrying value to the amount the Company expects to realize from the sale, exclusive of transaction costs.

TRADING VOLUME AND SHARE REPURCHASE ACTIVITY

During the month of November, NBPE's aggregate trading volume on Euronext Amsterdam, the London Stock Exchange, and over-the-counter trading platforms was 560,461 shares, which represents an average daily trading volume of approximately 25,476 shares. The trading volume in November included approximately 234,654 shares traded over-the-counter and not reported on Euronext Amsterdam or the London Stock Exchange.

On 22 October 2010, we launched a new Share Buy-Back Programme in order to begin implementing the Capital Return Policy. The Share Buy-Back Programme is the subject of periodic review by the Board. The Board of Directors has approved an extension of the share buyback program from 30 November 2012 to 28 February 2013. Under the terms of the Share Buy-back Programme, Jefferies International Limited ("JIL") has been appointed to effect on-market repurchases of Shares on behalf of NBPE on Euronext Amsterdam and/or the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange. Shares bought back under the Share Buy-Back Programme will be cancelled.

There were no shares repurchased during the month of November. As of 30 November 2012, there were 48,790,564 class A ordinary shares and 10,000 class B ordinary shares outstanding, with 3,150,408 class A ordinary shares held in treasury.

1. Figures provided are unaudited and subject to change. Certain numbers may not total due to rounding.

2. 1. Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Share as of 30 November 2012 are presented pro forma for the closing of NBPE's amended \$200 million credit facility which closed on 12 December 2012. Before this adjustment, Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Share would have been \$556.5 million and \$11.40, respectively, at 30 November 2012.
3. 1. 30 November 2012 figures are pro forma to reflect NBPE's conversion of its original \$200 million commitment to the NB Co-investment Program to a \$125 million commitment and the future option to invest alongside the NB Co-investment Program in up to \$75 million of future co-investment opportunities where there is excess availability. Before this adjustment, as of 30 November 2012, cash and cash equivalents would have been \$75.3 million, equity co-investments would have been \$119.8 million, total private equity investments would have been \$556.9 million, unfunded private equity commitments would have been \$318.5 million, and total private equity exposure would have been \$875.4 million.
4. 1. For the NB Alternatives Direct Co-investment Program and the NB Healthcare Credit Investment Program commitments, total exposure only reflects the funded investments to date. Unfunded amounts and unfunded percentages within each of these programs are excluded from the analysis, as capital deployment is opportunistic and cannot be accurately forecast at this time. The diversification analysis by asset class and investment type is based on the fair value of underlying fund investments and direct/co-investments (including unfunded commitments on a total private equity exposure basis). The diversification analysis by year of investment, geography and industry is based on the diversification of underlying portfolio company investments at fair value as estimated by the Investment Manager. The year of investment is calculated at the portfolio company level and is defined as the date of capital deployment into a particular underlying investment. For primary investments and direct/co-investments, the vintage year is defined as the date of the first portfolio investment or the date of the direct/co-investment. For secondary investments, the vintage year is defined as the date of the secondary acquisition. The diversification by year of investment also includes an allocation of net cash flows and valuation adjustments made since financial statements were last received from the investment sponsor. Determinations regarding asset class, investment type, geography and industry, as well as the allocation of unfunded commitments on a total private equity exposure basis, also represent the Investment Manager's estimates. Accordingly, the actual diversification of the Company's investment portfolio and the diversification of the Company's investment portfolio on an ongoing basis may vary from the foregoing information.

5. Direct yielding diversification includes equity commitments made alongside mezzanine financings.
