Initial Public Offering of InnovAge

 

 

The Apax X Fund ("Apax X"), in which AGA is a limited partner, is an indirect shareholder in InnovAge, a leading provider of value-based senior care in the U.S. Following InnovAge's announcement on 3 March 2021 of the pricing of its initial public offering of common stock ("IPO"), shares of InnovAge started trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on 4 March 2021. The closing price per share of common stock on 4 March was $24.20 ("Closing Price").

 

At the Closing Price, and based on closing exchange rates1, AGA's look through position in InnovAge is valued at c.€41m. This represents an uplift of 108% or c.€21m to InnovAge's fair value at 31 December 2020 and an uplift of c.1.8% of AGA's Adjusted NAV (or €0.04 per share) at 31 December 2020.

 

Note that these figures relate to AGA's look through position of Apax X's overall investment in InnovAge and are stated before taking into account any fees, costs, and carried interest.

 

AGA, whose shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange, provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of private equity funds advised by Apax Partners as well as a focused portfolio of debt and equity investments ("Derived Investments"). In July 2019, AGA made a commitment of c.$450m2 to Apax X.
