PEH received noteworthy distributions from Capvis III, distributing proceeds from three transactions, namely the sale of arena, one of the world's reference brands in aquatic sports, hessnatur, a pioneer in natural clothing in German-speaking Europe, and Kaffee Partner, a distributor of coffee and water dispensing machines. Furthermore, Highland Europe II distributed proceeds from the sale of Condeco, a leading provider of integrated workspace booking solutions, and Abry Heritage from the sale of Lighthouse, a health technology provider that specialises on services for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

In the reporting period, PEH committed USD 1.5m Program to Blossom Capital III, a London-based European early-stage venture fund, and USD 2.0m to Left Lane Capital Partners Co-Invest, an early-stage Co-Investment venture fund, both focusing on high-growth internet and consumer technology businesses.

The basis of the Net Asset Value Calculation and Disclaimer

The number of outstanding shares used for calculation of the Net Asset Value per share amounted to 2,532,585 as of August 31, 2021 (July 31, 2021: 2,532,482). The calculations are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and pursuant to the guidelines of Invest Europe (formerly known as the European Venture Capital Association). The valuations of the fund investments are based on the most recent reported net asset values (NAVs) of the funds. In estimating the fair value of unquoted direct investments, Private Equity Holding AG considers the most appropriate market valuation techniques. The fair value of listed direct investments is the market value. The NAV of Private Equity Holding AG is calculated at the end of each month under a going concern assumption and usually published within six trading days after the cut-off date. The different reporting cut-off dates of the individual companies and funds in which participations are held can lead to short-term distortions and cause discrepancies between the published NAV and the actual total value of Private Equity Holding AG's net assets.
