Net Asset Value at 28th February 2013
Pantheon International Participations PLC ("PIP") announces an unaudited net
asset value ("NAV") per share at 28th February 2013 of 1,303.7p, an increase of
5.0% from the NAV per share at 31st January 2013. Valuation gains in the month
accounted for 19.2p of the increase in NAV per share. In addition, PIP
benefited from foreign exchange movements, which accounted for 41.3p of the
increase in NAV per share.
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 28th February 2013, the majority of reported
valuations (accounting for circa 61% by value) are dated 31st December 2012.
At 28th February 2013, PIP's private equity assets stood at £816m, whilst cash
balances were £81m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £188m at 28th
February 2013, calculated using exchange rates at that date. In addition, the
Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement, comprising an
US$82m facility and a €57m facility, remained completely undrawn.
PIP's portfolio generated £4.2m of cash during the month, with distributions of
£5.6m relative to £1.4m of calls from existing commitments to private equity
funds.
PIP completed two new co-investments in the month. A £2.1m co-investment was
made to acquire a telecommunications equipment firm in the USA and a £2.0m
co-investment was made in a US-based domestic bank. Furthermore, PIP invested £
4.9m in share buybacks, acquiring 550,000 redeemable shares at a price of 890p.
This price represented a 28% discount to the NAV per share at 31st January
2013.
