Reconstruction Capital II Limited
("RC2" or the "Company")
New Valuations of Private Equity Positions
As previously announced, due to a deterioration in the operating performance of East Point Holdings Limited ("EPH" or the "Group"), RC2's 63%-owned affiliate, over the first quarter of 2013, the Directors had requested a new independent valuation of this investment, which takes into account the recent trading performance in light of the overall financial condition of the Group. The new independent valuation has now been completed and results in a valuation of the Company's investment in EPH at €5.3m, and a valuation of €1.3m for the Company's direct equity investment in Klas d.o.o. ("Klas"), EPH's bakery business. Furthermore, as part of the annual audit process, RC2's auditors have requested revised valuations of the investments in Policolor S.A. ("Policolor") and Mamaia Resort Hotels Srl ("Mamaia").
