Dunedin Enterprise realisation of Alpha FMC

Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC is pleased to announce the successful realisation of its investment in Alpha FMC, the leading global asset and wealth management consulting firm. This follows today's listing of Alpha on the AIM market. Dunedin Enterprise, via its interest in Dunedin Buyout Fund III LP, realised 100% of its holding in Alpha on listing.

The investment in Alpha was valued at GBP9.0m as at 30 June 2017, the last published valuation. Total proceeds from the sale amounted to GBP16.7m (an uplift of GBP7.7m, or 37.5p per share), consisting of capital of GBP15.6m and income of GBP1.1m. The original cost of the investment in February 2016 was GBP8.1m and, over its life, a total of GBP16.7m will have been received by Dunedin Enterprise representing a 2.1 times return and an IRR of 55%.

Following the realisation of Alpha, the Company will have cash balances of GBP33.2m with outstanding commitments to limited partnership funds of GBP38.3m. It is estimated that only some GBP22m of this total outstanding commitment will be drawn over the remaining life of the limited partnership funds. Following a Board Meeting to be held on 16 November 2017, the Board intends to announce a distribution to shareholders along with the quarterly trading update.
