Princess Private Equity Holding Limited

NAV increases by 0.8% in January

·    Net asset value increased by 0.8% to EUR 14.27 per share; total NAV at EUR 986.7 million

·    Currency movements contributed 0.9%, while value creation added 0.2%

·    Princess invested EUR 2.4 million and received distributions of EUR 1.4 million

·    Partial repayment of credit facility to minimize financing cost on drawn down balance

Princess invested EUR 2.4 million, of which EUR 1.9 million was provided as additional capital to EyeCare Partners, one of the largest clinically integrated medical vision services providers in the US, and International Schools Partnership, a leading global K-12 schools group. The additional capital will be used to support operations and acquisition pipelines. The remaining EUR 0.5 million was deployed in additional investments across the portfolio.

Princess received distributions of EUR 1.4 million, of which EUR 1.0 million was received from its investment in Global Blue, an NYSE-listed provider of VAT refund and foreign exchange services for international travelers. This was the result of a USD 100 million strategic equity investment from internet and technology company Tencent and a refinancing of the company's debt, both occurring in November 2023. 

In addition, the cash balance reduced as a result of partially repaying the drawn amount on the revolving credit facility in order to minimize the financing cost for the Company.
