Net Asset Value(s)

26th July 2012

           Pantheon International Participations PLC (the "Company")           

                       Net Asset Value at 30th June 2012                       

The Board of Pantheon International Participations PLC ("PIP"), the quoted
private equity fund-of-funds investment trust, today announces an unaudited net
asset value ("NAV") per share of 1,193.5p at 30th June 2012, an increase of
4.7% for the quarter and 8.1% for the financial year.

Net assets were £845m at 30th June 2012. Underlying net portfolio gains of £31m
in the quarter were driven by uplifts across all stages of the portfolio, with
strong performance in the large/mega buyout and special situations stages.
Performance was strong across all regions, particularly the US which benefitted
from the rise in public markets. Although distributions rose from the previous
quarter, they remained slightly lower than the levels seen in the first half of
2011, consistent with more subdued activity levels in the private equity market
in 2012. Despite this, the portfolio generated net cash flows of £18m.

Gains of £5m from movements in exchange rates and income of £3m were offset by
interest and expenses of £3m. For investment purposes the Company bought back
in the market £4m (at market value) of shares during the quarter. These
buybacks resulted in a total uplift to NAV per share of approximately 3.1p.

Valuation Policy

PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest accounts
produced by the managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of
the valuation as at 30th June 2012, the majority of valuations (accounting for
circa 94% by value) are dated 31st March 2012. Private equity funds may contain
a proportion of quoted shares from time to time, for example where the
underlying company investments have been taken public but the holdings have not
yet been sold. The quoted market holdings at the date of the latest fund
accounts are reviewed and compared with the value of those holdings at the
period end. If there has been a material movement in the value of these
holdings, the valuation is adjusted to reflect this.

New Commitments and Share Buybacks

During the quarter PIP made one new secondary commitment to a US-based buyout
fund interest, amounting to £8m. This investment included undrawn commitments
of £3m. In addition, the Company made a co-investment of £2m in a US-based oil
and gas exploration and production company.

Since the end of the quarter, the Company has completed a co-investment of £2m
in a company focused on the Chinese automobile sector.

For new investment commitments the Company will continue to emphasise
investments in secondary transactions and will also occasionally participate in
co-investments alongside leading private equity managers selected by Pantheon.

The Board will also continue to consider further share buybacks as a means of
enhancing NAV per share as an alternative to new investments whilst its shares
continue to trade at such historically high discounts. In the quarter, PIP
bought back for cancellation a total of 545,000 ordinary shares at an average
price of 754p per share and 30,000 redeemable shares at a price of 740p per
share. These transactions were executed at an overall discount of approximately
34% to the 31st March 2012 NAV, and resulted in a total uplift to NAV per share
of approximately 3.1p.

Since August 2011, the Company has deployed a total of £32m in implementing
share buybacks for investment purposes, acquiring 6.2% of PIP's total shares
outstanding prior to any share buybacks.

Realisation Activity

In the quarter, PIP received distributions from investments of £30m. Examples
of distributions in the quarter include (see note 1):

  * Brentwood Associates announced in June 2012 the sale of Array Marketing
    Group, a retail merchandising systems manufacturer, to TorQuest Partners
    ("TorQuest") in partnership with the company's management team. In addition
    to this, Brentwood Associates announced the sale of Filson Holdings, a
    premium outdoor apparel maker, to Bedrock Manufacturing. The distribution
    received by PIP in connection with both these sales was £3.8m.
   
  * In April 2012 CVC announced the sale of StarBev to Molson Coors Brewing
    Company for €2.65bn. StarBev operates nine breweries in Central and Eastern
    Europe and generated 2011 EBITDA of €241m. The distribution received by PIP
    relating to StarBev was £0.9m.
   
Cash proceeds are expected in the coming months from the realisations of
portfolio companies Carbolite and Global Blue, whose values represented 1.2%
and 0.5% respectively of PIP's portfolio at 31st December 2011.

Call Activity

PIP invested £12m through calls of commitments to private equity funds in the
quarter. Examples of calls in the quarter include:

  * Baring Vostok IV invested in European Medical Centre, and Avito. European
    Medical Centre is a multi-profile clinic in Moscow with 20 years of
    history. Avito is a website for online classified adverts in Russia. The
    call paid by PIP relating to European Medical Centre and Avito was £0.9m.
   
  * In May 2012 Eurofiber was acquired by Doughty Hanson Fund V. Founded in
    2000 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Eurofiber owns and operates a
    fiber network spanning over 12,000km and connecting over 4,500 unique
    locations. Doughty Hanson acquired the firm from Reggeborgh, an investment
    vehicle of the Wessels family who retain a significant minority stake. The
    call paid by PIP relating to Eurofiber was £0.8m.
   
Sample Underlying Company-Level Data (see note 2)

The Manager, Pantheon, undertook a review of underlying company data in PIP's
largest 50 buyout funds and direct investments. The sample weighted average
revenue growth and EBITDA growth for the year to 31st December 2011 was 16% and
15% respectively. Additionally, the sample weighted average EV/EBITDA and Net
Debt/EBITDA multiples as at 31st December 2011 were 9.4x and 3.6x respectively.

Undrawn Commitments

Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £191m at 30th June 2012, calculated
using exchange rates at that date.

33% of PIP's undrawn commitments are in fund vintages 2005 or older. Most of
the funds in these older vintages are outside their investment periods and, as
such, should have slower call rates. It is likely that a portion of these older
commitments will not be drawn.

Cash Balance and Bank Loan Facility

As at 30th June 2012, PIP had cash balances equivalent to a total of
approximately £51m.

In addition, the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement
("the Bank Loan Facility"), comprising an US$82m facility and a €57m facility,
was completely undrawn. The Bank Loan Facility expires in June 2015.

Based on exchange rates at 30th June 2012, PIP's total available liquid
financing capacity, comprising its cash and bank facility, stood at £150m.

Foreign Exchange Exposure

At 30th June 2012, the value of the private equity investment assets stood at £
800m. Of the private equity investment assets at PIP's holding level, 70% were
represented by funds reporting values denominated in US dollars, 23%
denominated in euros, 6% denominated in sterling and 1% denominated in other
currencies. Of the 70% of investment assets denominated in US dollars,
approximately 5% (expressed as a proportion of PIP's total portfolio) are
invested in funds investing mainly in Europe and approximately 9% (expressed as
a proportion of PIP's total portfolio) in funds investing mainly in Asia. In
addition to the funds reporting values denominated in sterling, many of the
euro-denominated funds have investments in the UK.

Intention to release monthly Net Asset Values

Commencing in August 2012 for the month ending 31st July 2012, the Company
intends to release net asset values monthly to provide investors with the most
up to date information as it becomes available. Timetable requirements under
the Company's Articles of Association in relation to issues or redemptions of
shares may, exceptionally, from time to time cause the Company to suspend a NAV
announcement in a particular month. A monthly reporting regime will increase
the frequency of closed dealing periods imposed by the Company during the
preparation of its monthly NAV. However, the total period in which the Company
operates in closed dealing periods is not expected to increase as a result of
this change in reporting frequency.

Note 1
The distribution or call amounts above may include small amounts relating to
other companies or items.

Note 2
The sample buyout figures were calculated from the companies, where information
was available, within the largest 50 buyout funds and direct investments in
PIP's portfolio at 30th June 2011. This sample provided coverage of
approximately 50% of PIP's buyout funds and direct investment exposure. The
revenue and EBITDA figures were based upon the year to 31st December 2011, or
where not available, the closest annual period disclosed. The net debt and
enterprise value figures were based upon 31st December 2011 underlying
valuations, or the closest period end disclosed. The underlying company data
was weighted by NAV to calculate an average. Individual company revenue and
EBITDA growth figures were capped at +1000% and -1000% to avoid distortions
from excessive outliers.
