19 June 2019

STANDARD LIFE PRIVATE EQUITY TRUST PLC ("SLPET" OR "THE COMPANY") ANNOUNCES ITS ESTIMATED NET ASSET VALUE ("NAV") AT 31 MAY 2019

-- ESTIMATED NAV AT 31 MAY 2019 WAS 430.8 PENCE PER SHARE (ACTUAL NAV AT 31 MARCH 2019 WAS 426.7 PENCE PER SHARE)

-- SLPET PAID GBP8.7 MILLION OF DRAWDOWNS AND RECEIVED GBP8.4 MILLION OF DISTRIBUTIONS DURING THE MONTH OF MAY

   --      OUTSTANDING COMMITMENTS OF GBP426.3 MILLION AT 31 MAY 2019 

SLPET's valuation policy for private equity funds and co-investments is based on the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which the Company has interests. In the case of SLPET's valuation at 31 May 2019, 84.5% by value of the portfolio valuations were dated 31 March 2019.

Estimated NAV

At 31 May 2019, SLPET's estimated NAV was 430.8 pence per share (estimated net assets GBP662.3 million), representing a 1.0% per share increase from the actual NAV at 31 March 2019 of 426.7 pence per share (actual net assets GBP656.1 million). The 4.1 pence increase in NAV per share reflected unrealised foreign exchange gains arising primarily from a 2.5% appreciation in the euro versus sterling during April and May, offset by the dividend payment of 3.2 pence per share on 26 April 2019.

Draw downs and distributions

SLPET paid GBP8.7 million of drawdowns and received GBP8.4 million of distributions during the month of May. The distributions received generated realised gains and income of GBP3.8 million.

Commitments

The Company had GBP426.3 million of outstanding commitments at 31 May 2019. The Manager continues to believe that around GBP60.0 million of the Company's existing outstanding commitments are unlikely to be drawn.

Balance sheet and credit facility

The Company had resources available for investment of GBP79.7 million at 31 May 2019. In addition, the Company has an undrawn GBP80 million syndicated revolving credit facility, provided by Citibank and Societe Generale that expires in December 2020.

Future announcements

The Company is expecting to announce its estimated NAV at 30 June 2019 on 12 July 2019.

Additional detail about SLPET's NAV and investment diversification can be found on SLPET's website. Neither the contents of the Company's website nor the contents of any website accessible from hyperlinks on the Company's website is incorporated into, or forms part of, this announcement.

Note:-

Standard Life Private Equity Trust PLC is an investment company managed by SL Capital Partners LLP, the ordinary shares of which are admitted to listing by the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Stock Exchange and which seeks to conduct its affairs so as to qualify as an investment trust under sections 1158-1165 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.

Valuation Methodology

Unquoted investments are stated at the directors' estimate of fair value and follow the recommendations of EVCA and BVCA. The estimate of fair value is normally the latest valuation placed on a fund or co-investment by its manager at the balance sheet date. The valuation policies used by the manager in undertaking that valuation will generally be in line with the joint publication from EVCA and BVCA, 'International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation guidelines'. Where formal valuations are not completed at the balance sheet date the last available valuation from the fund manager or co-investment lead is adjusted for any subsequent cashflows occurring between the valuation date and the balance sheet date. The Company's Manager may further adjust such valuations to reflect any changes in circumstances from the last manager's formal valuation date to arrive at the estimate of fair value. Quoted investments are valued based on quoted prices as of the last day of the relevant period.

The Company intends to release regular estimated NAV updates around ten business days after each month end, while continuing to issue quarterly trading statements. A breakdown of SLPET's portfolio can be obtained in the latest monthly factsheet, which is published on SLPET's website at:
