News Release

Guernsey, 27 August 2020

NAV increases by 2.3% in July

-- Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's (Princess) net asset value increased by 2.3% to EUR 12.12 per share net of the first interim dividend of EUR 0.145 per share

   --    Portfolio developments were positive (+3.4%) and currency movements were negative (-0.8%) 

-- Princess invested EUR 1.1 million during the month and received distributions of EUR 0.6 million

In July, Princess' NAV increased in value by 2.3%. The largest contributor to the favorable performance was CPA Global. The Jersey based company is the global leader in patent renewals services as well as intellectual property software and tech-enabled services. CPA Global was written up after signing a definitive agreement to combine with Clarivate Analytics, an information services and analytics company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in an all-stock transaction. CPA shareholders will receive shares in Clarivate following the closing of the transaction which is expected to take place in Q4 2020. The transaction results in an uplift of 37% compared to CPA Global's June carrying value.

In addition, GlobalLogic, a U.S. based provider of outsourced software product engineering services contributed positively to this month's performance. The Company reported a year-over-year increase in EBITDA of over 20% due to continued growth with both current and new customers. In addition to organic growth, GlobalLogic continues to pursue its M&A strategy to strengthen its position in high-growth verticals. In Q2, GlobalLogic acquired Meelogic Consulting, a German-based software engineering services firm with expertise in healthcare, automotive and other key industries. The acquisition also bolsters GlobalLogic's delivery footprint in strategic European geographies.

Ends.
