NEWS RELEASE Zug, February 8, 2024 Net Asset Value as of January 31, 2024 As of January 31, 2024, the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share of Private Equity Holding AG (PEH) stood at EUR 153.60 (CHF 143.26), representing a change of +0.9% in EUR (+1.1% in CHF) since December 31, 2023. PEH's portfolio performance was positive in January. While there were positive valuation adjustments recorded for several portfolio funds, such as the Europe-based Blossom I and US-based Pelion VI, both of which focus on making early-stage venture investments in the technology sector, the positive portfolio performance was mainly driven by favourable FX movements. The portfolio was cash-flow negative in January with total distributions amounting to EUR 1.7m vs. EUR 2.8m paid into the portfolio. PEH received noteworthy distributions from Avista IV, distributing proceeds from the sale of United BioSource (UBC), a biopharmaceutical services provider, as well as from Clarus IV, distributing proceeds from two transactions, namely SFJ Pharmaceuticals and Talaris Therapeutics, both bio-pharmaceutical development companies. The biggest drawdown came from Sycamore III to fund two transactions, namely an add-on investment in Pure Fishing, a multi-brand global provider of fishing tackle, lures and rods, and Chicos FAS, a leading retailer in women’s apparel. *** Private Equity Holding AG (SIX: PEHN) is a listed investment company for private equity investments.
