The current economic environment remains uncertain, and the underlying conditions such as the challenging debt markets are still limiting the facilitation of asset sales across the industry. As a reaction to the H1 currency movements, Princess has paused new investments since August 2022 in the short-term, to strengthen its liquidity position and enable cautious investment in the future.

 

All new investments that were committed to before the investment pause are now largely funded and therefore, no material investment outflows are expected imminently. Together with the decision to suspend the H2 dividend, the investment pause is allowing Princess to weather further potential significant negative FX movements and a continuing challenged exit environment. Liquidity i.e. cash and undrawn credit facility amounts to EUR 88 million as of 18 November 2022.

 

The Princess portfolio continues to provide exposure to thematic growth trends across investments in value creation mode, and mature investments which seek to crystallise value in the future.

 

The Board confirms that Princess' dividend objective to pay 5% of opening NAV remains in place. Absent of a further significant USD appreciation and assuming somewhat normalised exit markets, the Board of Princess expects to pay the next dividend in June 2023. However, the suspended second dividend for 2022 will not be paid.

 

Ends.
