Chairman's Letter - First Half of the Financial Year 2025/2026

Dear Shareholders,

As of September 30, 2025, PEH reported a loss of EUR -23.1m for the six-month period and a net asset value per share (NAV) of EUR 152.88 (CHF 142.95), representing a change of -5.7% in EUR (-7.7% in CHF) since March 31, 2025 (including the distribution of CHF 1.00 per share to PEH's shareholders in July 2025).

Portfolio Development

The reporting period was characterised by a challenging macroeconomic environment, marked by volatile geopolitical developments, ongoing tariff discussions, and the resulting uncertainty affecting global financial markets. In private markets, subdued M&A and IPO activity, coupled with longer investment holding periods, led to lower-than-expected distributions and limited valuation gains. Despite these headwinds, the majority of PEH's investments delivered positive performance in their respective underlying currencies. However, as a significant portion of PEH's investments are denominated in USD, the approximately 8% depreciation of the USD against the Euro (PEH's functional currency) resulted in a negative reported portfolio performance for the first half of the financial year.

Several positive valuation adjustments from portfolio funds and direct co-investments confirmed the fundamental strength and solid operational performance of PEH's core holdings. Notable valuation uplifts during the reporting period were recorded for a number of portfolio funds including Left Lane Capital Partners II , a fund targeting early stage internet and consumer technology companies in North America, Europe and Israel, Highland Europe III, a fund specialising in expansion and growth-stage technology investments in Europe, and Procuritas Capital Investors VII, a lower mid-market buyout fund operating in the Nordic region.

During the 6-month period, the portfolio was cash-flow negative, with total distributions amounting to EUR 13.4m vs. EUR 20.8m paid into the portfolio. Noteworthy distributions were received from (i) Alpha CEE Opportunity IV, comprising proceeds from various transactions, including AAT, Poland's leading manufacturer of fire alarms, (ii) Eagletree Partners III, following the sale of ALM Media's Legal Division to Law Business Research, as well as (iii) from Mid Europa Fund V, which distributed proceeds from the sale of Mlinar, the largest bakery group in the Adria region.

Lower Investment Activity

PEH maintained a cautious approach toward new investments during the reporting period, taking into account the Company's liquidity position and the broader market environment. Two new fund investments were completed: one in a Canadian private equity fund focused on mid-market transactions, including buyouts, growth equity, and corporate carve-outs, and the second in a venture fund focused on life sciences companies that are primarily based in or originate from Europe. In addition, PEH made a further commitment to a US venture fund after the end of the reporting period.

Strategic Outlook

Building on a solid balance sheet, the board remains committed to pursuing PEH's threepronged strategy of selective investments, annual dividend payments, and accretive share buybacks in connection with PEH's market making activities. A key priority at present, however, is the reduction of the credit facility usage, which has increased as a consequence of the market dynamics and liquidity conditions described above.

We are confident that PEH's strong fundamentals, disciplined investment approach, and prudent financial management will enable the Company to successfully navigate the coming years and deliver sustained value for our shareholders.

For the entire Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for your continued support and interest in PEH.

Yours sincerely

Fidelis Götz

Chairman of the Board of Directors

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Reporting entity

Private Equity Holding AG (the "Company") is a stock company incorporated under Swiss law with registered address at Bahnhofstrasse 13, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland. The business activity of the Company is mainly conducted through investing the Company's assets directly and indirectly through its Luxembourg non-consolidated Subsidiary (together referred to as the "Group").

The Company controls 100% of the voting rights and ownership interests in Private Equity Finance S.A. SICAF-RAIF (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is incorporated in Luxembourg.

The business activity of the Company is the purchase, holding and disposal of investments held in private equity funds and directly in companies with above-average growth potential. Amundi Alpha Associates AG, Zurich, acts as "Investment Manager" of the Group and provides certain support services to the Company.

2. Basis of preparation

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

These condensed interim financial statements were authorised by the Board of Directors for issue on November 6, 2025 by the Board of Directors.

b) Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2025.

3. Material accounting policies

The accounting and valuation principles applied in these interim financial statements correspond to those of the financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2025, unless otherwise stated.

New standards and interpretations

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

Lack of Exchangeability (amendment to IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates) specifies how to assess the ability to obtain another currency at a measurement date and for a specified purpose (e.g., importation, dividend distribution, etc.). It should be within a normal administrative delay and through a market/exchange mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations. When exchangeability is lacking, spot exchange rate determination at the measurement date should reflect an orderly transaction between market participants at prevailing economic conditions. The Company can use the observable exchange rate without adjustment or other estimation technics. Also, to enable financial statements' users to understand the impact of the currency not being exchangeable, amendment requires disclosure of the nature and the financial effects, the spot, the estimation process, the risk, the affected transactions and carrying amount of the affected assets and/or liabilities. This amendment applies to the periods after January 1, 2025, with possible early adoption. No restatement of the comparative period is expected.

There are no other standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025 that have a material effect on the condensed interim financial statement of the Company.

New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective and might be relevant for the Company

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) replaces the previous standard IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. It aims to improve the presentation of the financial information and make financial statements more transparent and easier to compare. The application of IFRS 18 will be mandatory for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and for the respective comparative period 2026. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard, particularly with respect to the structure of the Company's statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the additional disclosures required for management-defined performance measures.

Of those standards and interpretations not yet effective, no others are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed interim financial statement in the period of initial application.

4. Treasury share transactions

The Company held 103,936 treasury shares as of September 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024: 82,300; March 31, 2025: 100,955). The Company has the right to sell the treasury shares at any time.

9. Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Interest bearing borrowings and credit facility/pledged assets

Effective on June 1, 2017, the Company (the borrower) increased the maximum loan amount with Private Equity Finance S.A. SICAF-RAIF (formerly Private Equity Fund Finance Ltd. (a Subsidiary, the lender)) to CHF 70.0 million in any freely convertible currency at the respective reference rate plus 200 basis points (SOFR for USD loans, EURIBOR for EUR loans). The lender may extend further loans to the borrower if and as required by the borrower to carry on its business by entering into a letter agreement which shall be governed by the same provisions as set forth in the existing loan agreement. The lender may not request the repayment of any amount outstanding without giving at least 12 months notice. There is no contractually agreed expiry date. The total amount of interest bearing loans as of September 30, 2025 stood at EUR 10.3m (March 31, 2025: interest bearing borrowings of EUR 3.3m).

Effective on November 4, 2024, the Company entered an amended agreement with UBS Switzerland AG (formerly Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG) for a EUR 30.0 million revolving credit facility (previously EUR 30.0 million expiring on December 31, 2024). The current agreement will expire on December 31, 2025, but is in the process of being extended. This facility allows the Company to bridge timing gaps between outflows and inflows, cover short-term liquidity squeezes and manage and hedge market risks. The credit facility, if and when drawn, is secured by the Company's ownership interest in Private Equity Finance S.A. SICAF-RAIF. The applicable interest rate on any USD amounts outstanding under the facility is SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate, floored at 0%) plus 185 basis points. In addition, a credit adjustment spread for fixed term advances denominated in USD is applied ranging from 0.1% to 0.2% p.a. depending on the tenor. The applicable interest rate on any EUR amounts outstanding under the facility is EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate, floored at 0%) plus 185 basis points. For fixed term advances denominated in currencies other than USD and EUR, the parties shall agree on another interest rate (fixed or other). The Company is obliged to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 22.5 basis points on the undrawn amount. It cannot be reliably estimated how much of the credit facility will be drawn over the financial year, however, the impact on the statement of comprehensive income is expected to be not material. Therefore, the commitment fee is fully recognised in expenses and is not deferred.

As of September 30, 2025, the credit facility drawn was EUR 24.3 million (March 31, 2025: EUR 11.3 million). During the first half of the financial year 2025/2026, interest expenses on short-term bank borrowings of EUR 365k were incurred (September 30, 2024: EUR 314k). Commitment fees amounted to EUR 80k for the first half of the business year 2025/2026 (September 30, 2024: EUR 108k) and are included in corporate expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

For changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, we refer to the statement of cash flows.

1Funds managed by C+E LP and advised by Amundi Alpha Associates AG. These funds are excluded from the NAV for the purpose of calculating the management fee.

Along with the unfunded commitments, distributions in the total amount of EUR 22.8 million (whereof Abry Advanced Securities Fund IV accounts for EUR 1.7 million, Abry Partners IX accounts for EUR 1.2 million and Investindustrial VII accounts for EUR 1.2 million) are recallable from these funds/direct investments as of September 30, 2025. As the investment period of most of these funds has already expired, recallable distributions can in general only be recycled for follow-on investments and therefore not expected to be drawn in full.

3 Remaining commitment was reduced by the fund manager.

4 As of September 30, 2025, the EMP portfolio (Emerging Managers Program) consists of ten underlying venture capital funds with vintage years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Six of these funds are denominated in USD (total original amount: USD 6.5 million; total amount paid-in as of September 30, 2025: USD 6.6 million), and the other four are denominated in GBP (total original amount: GBP 2.6 million; total amount paid-in as of September 30, 2025: GBP 2.6 million).

5 For the co-investments the Company is subject to strict confidentiality requirements and is therefore not allowed to disclose the names of the firms.

12. Segment information

Due to the nature of the business (all private equity investments) and in accordance with internal reporting, there are no separate reporting segments.

Fund Investments were held by Private Equity Finance S.A. (also refer to Note 10.1).

2 Direct Investments were held by Private Equity Finance S.A. (also refer to Note 10.1).

"Net gains/(losses) from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" includes all realised and unrealised fair value changes, dividends and interest income from investments held directly by the Company and foreign exchange differences.

13. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for the Company's financial instruments. These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:

  • Level I inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments that the Group can access at the measurement date;
  • Level II inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the instrument, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level III inputs are unobservable inputs for the instrument.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level III measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the instrument. The determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

The following table analyses the Company's investments measured at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 on a look-through basis by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised 1 :

1 The Company has not disclosed the fair values for financial instruments measured at amortised cost. For short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalent, receivables, payables and accrued expenses, the carrying amount is generally considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value for long-term financial liabilities such as interest-bearing borrowings, estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market interest rates is equivalent to the carrying amount.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the transfer has occurred. There were no transfers between the levels during the six months ended September 30, 2025.

The changes in investments measured at fair value for which the Company has used Level III inputs to determine fair value as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 are as follows:

1 Unrealised profit or loss refers to instruments held at the reporting date.

For Level III fund and direct investments, the sensitivity analysis below (as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025) represents the potential absolute change in fair value for each category. The fair values of such investments are valued by using an unobservable input factor and are directly affected by a change in that factor.

The Company utilises the adjusted NAV as single valuation technique across all fund investments. Thus, the main unobservable input factor would be adjusted NAV itself. For direct investments, the Company used mainly the following factors relevant to the fair value: a) Reported fair value by the lead investor, b) EBITDA multiple or other earning metric as appropriate and c) Recent financing transactions adjusted for possible changes between transaction date and reporting date.

In view of the continued uncertainty about the further development of global economic and geopolitical risks, the percentage used for the negative change of the unobservable input factor remains at 10% for the reporting period. This percentage currently represents the Investment Manager's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the inputs for purposes of this analysis. Hence, should the significant unobservable input increase by 5% or decrease by 10%, the value of each category of investments would follow respectively by the absolute positive or negative amount as shown in the table below.

No interrelationships between unobservable inputs used in the Company's valuation of its Level 3 funds and direct investments have been identified.

A sensitivity analysis has not been performed for direct investments that have been acquired within the last 9 months of the reporting period and where the recent transaction price is deemed to be the most appropriate fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 (shown as n/a in the table below).
