Net Asset Value(s)

24th July 2013 Pantheon International Participations PLC Net Asset Value at 30th June 2013 Pantheon International Participations PLC ("PIP") announces an unaudited net asset value ("NAV") per share at 30th June 2013 of 1,331.9p, a decrease of 0.5p from the NAV per share at 31st May 2013. PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of PIP's valuation at 30th June 2013, the majority of reported valuations (accounting for circa 94% by value) are dated 31st March 2013. At 30th June 2013, PIP's private equity assets stood at £826m, whilst cash balances were £78m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £195m at 30th June 2013, calculated using exchange rates at that date. In addition, the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement, comprising a US$82m facility and a €57m facility, remained completely undrawn. PIP's portfolio generated £15.5m of cash during the month, with distributions of £18.2m relative to £2.7m of calls from existing commitments to private equity funds. Amongst new investments in the month was a £10.2m secondary commitment to Providence Equity Partners VI, a global large buyout fund, which was approximately 87% funded. In addition, a £1.1m co-investment was made to acquire a fully integrated poultry company based in Australia. During the month, PIP invested £2.5m in share buybacks, acquiring 237,000 ordinary shares at an average price of 1,044.3p. This price represented a 22% discount to the NAV per share at 31st May 2013. The NAV per share at 30th June 2013 of 1,331.9p is an increase of 138.4p, or 11.6%, for the financial year since 30th June 2012. This increase was driven by portfolio gains of 83.2p (7.0%), positive foreign-exchange movements of 43.5p (3.6%) and the effect of share buybacks of 13.8p (1.2%). PIP's portfolio generated £149.8m of cash during the year, with distributions of £189.6m relative to £39.8m of calls from existing commitments to private equity funds. PIP made 20 new investments in the year with total commitments of £129m. This included 11 commitments totalling £113m to funds which on average were 63% funded at completion. PIP also made 9 co-investments, committing £16m. During the year PIP invested £27m in share buybacks, acquiring 1.6m ordinary shares, and 1.4m redeemable shares. The share buybacks were executed at an average discount of 27% to the latest announced NAV per share at the time of the buyback. A sample from the underlying companies in PIP's buyout portfolio shows revenue and EBITDA growth of +11.6% and +14.4% for the year to 31st December 2012. The sample includes all companies where PIP has been supplied the requisite data and covers 55-60% of PIP's buyout portfolio. This is a continuation of strong performance in PIP's buyout portfolio relative to the equivalent growth rates of the FTSE and MSCI World indices. This strong top-line performance and efficient cost control of companies within our portfolio is, we believe, a natural consequence of PIP's mid-market focus where opportunities provide scope for outperformance under the private equity model.
