Estimated Adjusted NAV as at 30 June 2023

Apax Global Alpha Limited (LON: APAX), the closed-ended investment company providing access to the Apax Private Equity Funds, today announced estimated Adjusted NAV as at 30 June 2023, having received the Apax Funds' valuations for Q2 2023. The performance of the individual funds is shown below (net of relevant fees and carried interest estimates)(1) .

AGA estimates its Adjusted NAV(2) as at 30 June 2023 to be EUR1,298m or EUR2.64 cents per share / GBP2.27 pence per share.

Details on the composition and valuation of the AGA portfolio as at 30 June 2023 (which may differ to those shown in the table below due to the various holding structures through which AGA invests) will be included in AGA's 2023 Half Year Results, being released on 6 September 2023.

Commenting on the performance, Ralf Gruss, Partner at Apax and a member of the AGA Investment Committee, said: "The Private Equity portfolio continues to show resilience in the face of an uncertain economic environment. The Apax Funds' focus on narrow sectors and generating alpha through business improvement means that value creation is primarily driven by operational improvements in the portfolio companies."
