asset value ("NAV") per share at 31st July 2014 of 1,373.1p, an increase of

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 31st July 2014, the majority of reported
valuations (accounting for circa 93% by value) are dated 31st March 2014 or
later.
At 31st July 2014, PIP's private equity assets stood at £835m, whilst cash
balances were £71m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £196m at 31st
July 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 £16.9m during the month, with
distributions of £19.0m relative to £2.1m of calls from existing commitments to
private equity funds.
During the month, PIP completed five new investments comprising two
secondaries, two primaries and one co-investment. The secondaries comprise a £
20.1m investment in a European buyout fund that was 88% funded and a £11.5m
investment in three European buyout funds that were on average 90% funded. PIP
made two primary commitments to European buyout funds: £9.3m to Altor Fund IV
and £7.5m to ECI 10. PIP also completed a £4.2m co-investment alongside
Wasserstein & Co., LP in ALM Media, a global leader in specialised business
news and information.

1,144.0p per share (16% discount to NAV per share at 30th June 2014), and
