14 June 2017

STANDARD LIFE PRIVATE EQUITY TRUST PLC ("SLPET" OR "THE COMPANY") ANNOUNCES ITS ESTIMATED NET ASSET VALUE ("NAV") AT 31 MAY 2017

-- ESTIMATED NAV AT 31 MAY 2017 WAS 373.7 PENCE PER SHARE (ACTUAL NAV AT 31 MARCH 2017 WAS 368.9 PENCE PER SHARE)

-- SLPET RECEIVED GBP6.5 MILLION OF DISTRIBUTIONS AND PAID GBP5.2 MILLION OF DRAWDOWNS DURING THE MONTH OF MAY

   --      OUTSTANDING COMMITMENTS OF GBP308.0 MILLION AT 31 MAY 2017 

SLPET's valuation policy for private equity funds 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 2017, 97.9% by value of the portfolio valuations were dated 31 March 2017.

Estimated NAV

At 31 May 2017, SLPET's estimated NAV was 373.7 pence per share (estimated net assets GBP574.6 million), representing a 1.3% per share increase from the actual NAV at 31 March 2017 of 368.9 pence per share (actual net assets GBP567.2 million). The 4.8 pence increase in NAV reflected unrealised foreign exchange gains arising primarily from a 1.8% appreciation in the euro versus sterling during April and May.

Draw downs and distributions

SLPET received GBP6.5 million of distributions and paid GBP5.2 million of drawdowns during the month of May. The distributions received generated realised gains and income of GBP3.1 million.

Commitments

The Company had GBP308.0 million of outstanding commitments at 31 May 2017. After undertaking a detailed review, the Manager continues to believe that around GBP55.0 million of the Company's existing outstanding commitments are unlikely to be drawn.

Balance sheet and credit facility

The Company had liquid resources of GBP107.4 million at 31 May 2017. 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 2017 on 14 July 2017.

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 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 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 the Manager's website at
