Portfolio Commentary

During December, NBPE completed one new investment in Velocidi, a marketing intelligence company, and one follow-on investment in a financial services company.

Distribution activity was strong during the month, with NBPE receiving total distributions of $41.5 million. This was driven by $30.6 million in distributions from income investments, of which $27.4 million was received as a result of five exits. The remaining distributions consisted of interest and principal payments. NBPE received $6.7 million from direct equity investments during the month, consisting primarily of proceeds received from the sale of Revspring. NBPE also received final exit proceeds from secondary sales of public shares of Commscope and partial exit proceeds from the sale of public shares of Fairmount Minerals and Univar. Fund investments distributed $4.2 million to NBPE during December. Two notable portfolio events that are not included in December's distribution activity are the equity proceeds from the previously announced sale of Deltek, and the announced sale of Capsugel to Lonza, which is expected to close in the coming months. As a result, NBPE increased its carrying value of the investment during the month.
