Performance update at 28th February 2014
Pantheon International Participations PLC ("PIP") announces an unaudited net
asset value ("NAV") per share at 28th February 2014 of 1,331.2p, an increase of
25.3p (1.9%) from the NAV per share at 31st January 2014. Valuation gains in
the month accounted for 43.9p (3.4%) of the increase in NAV per share but were

PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest

valuations (accounting for circa 76% by value) are dated 31st December 2013.
At 28th February 2014, PIP's private equity assets stood at £803m, with cash
balances of £88m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £183m at 28th
February 2014, 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 net cash of £12.4m during the month, with
distributions of £14.7m relative to £2.3m of calls from existing commitments to
private equity funds.
PIP finalised one new investment during the month, a £1.7m co-investment
alongside ABRY Partners in Aegis Sciences Corporation, a specialty toxicology
laboratory providing a range of testing services. PIP has committed a total of
£102m to new investments in the financial year to date.
