Guernsey, 25 November 2021
NAV increases by 0.8% in October
· Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's (Princess or the Company) net asset value increased by 0.8% to EUR 15.77 per share
· Portfolio developments were positive (+1.1%) while currency movements were flat
· Princess invested EUR 71.6 million and received distributions of EUR 19.8 million
In October, Princess invested EUR 71.6 million, of which EUR 9.4 million was invested in BluSky Restoration Contractors ("BluSky"), a leading US provider of restoration services for commercial, industrial, healthcare, and multifamily real estate. BluSky has more than 900 employees serving 5,000-plus customers across the country. BluSky provides essential services for customers that experience water, fire, wind, environmental damages, or biological contamination at their buildings. Key value creation initiatives will include branch expansion into new markets, growing national accounts, expanding service capabilities, partnering with customers on ESG and workplace safety initiatives, and pursuing acquisitions.
Following an active period for realizations, EUR 60 million was invested in senior loans for liquidity management purposes. Partners Group's thematic sourcing approach continues to generate a broad near-term pipeline of investment opportunities to redeploy liquidity into.
Princess received distributions of EUR 19.8 million during the month, of which EUR 16.3 million stemmed from the sale of Straive, a leading global provider of technology-driven content and data solutions. Partners Group acquired a majority stake in Straive, then known as SPi Global, in August 2017, on behalf of its clients. Under Partners Group's ownership, Straive was transformed from a provider of primarily content services into a technology-driven content, data, and EdTech solutions company. Straive's organic growth was supplemented with three strategic bolt-on acquisitions. Other major initiatives included the development of proprietary technology and software products, as well as the deepening of strategic customer relationships.
EUR 2.7 million was received from Trimco, a leading global supplier of brand identity products for international fashion and sports brands, which paid a dividend to shareholders. The remaining balance of EUR 0.8 million was received from Princess' mature legacy fund portfolio.
