Portfolio Commentary

During July, NBPE funded one new equity co-investment in Melissa & Doug, a branded specialty toy company. The manager continues to see strong deal flow and NBPE has a robust pipeline of investments which we believe are attractive opportunities and well suited to NBPE's  investment strategy, that are expected to close in the coming months.

In terms of distributions, NBPE received $18.5 million during July, of which $14.1 million was received as a result of the closing of the previously announced sale of Capsugel. In addition, $1.9 million was received from income investments, consisting of principal and interest proceeds. Fund investments distributed $2.5 million during the month.

On 20 July 2017, NBPE declared its second 2017 semi-annual dividend of $0.25 per Share, which brings the total dividend for 2017 to $0.50 per Share.
