GUERNSEY, 22 MARCH 2018
The Board of Directors of JPEL Private Equity Limited ("JPEL" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce JPEL's fourth capital
distribution in respect of the Company's US$ Equity Share class
("Mandatory Redemption").
JPEL has benefitted from a strong level of realisations from its
underlying portfolio and the Company has resolved to return a total
of $25 million to JPEL US$ Equity Shareholders.
The $25 million capital return (the equivalent of approximately
14.7 million US$ Equity Shares, or 6.7% of US$ Equity Shareholder
NAV) will be by way of a compulsory redemption of US$ Equity Shares
at a price equal to the prevailing NAV per US$ Equity Share of
$1.70 as at 31 January 2018 (being the most recent NAV per US$
Equity Share available as of the date of this announcement) for US$
Equity Shareholders on the register of members as at close of
business on 9 April 2018. Unless circumstances require otherwise,
this NAV will form the NAV per US$ Equity Share as of the date of
redemption.
Payments of redemption proceeds are expected to be effected
either through CREST (in the case of shares held in uncertificated
form) or by cheque (in the case of shares held in certificated
form) on or around 18 April 2018. Any share certificates for the
balance of holdings of shares will also be despatched to
shareholders on or around 18 April 2018.
The Company currently has 218,433,139 US$ Equity Shares in
issue. All of the US$ Equity Shares redeemed on the redemption date
will be cancelled and any fractions of shares will be rounded down
to the nearest whole share.
The US$ Equity Shares will be disabled in CREST on the record
date and the existing ISIN number GG00BD25J512 (the "Old ISIN")
will expire. A new ISIN number GG00BF1F1F02 (the "New ISIN") in
respect of the remaining US$ Equity Shares which have not been
redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions on 10 April
2018. For the period up to and including the record date, US$
Equity Shares will be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a
purchaser of such shares may have a market claim for the redemption
proceeds following the activation of the New ISIN. CREST will
automatically transfer any open transactions as at the redemption
date to the New ISIN.
Inclusive of this Mandatory Redemption, JPEL will have returned
$209.2 million to US$ Equity Shareholders, or approximately 44% of
the Company's 31 October 2016 NAV, the prevailing NAV at the time
of the Company's initial Mandatory Redemption.
DIRECTOR'S INTERESTS
As of 31 January 2018, Sean Hurst, Christopher Spencer and Tony
Dalwood, Directors of the Company, owned 5,387, 19,434 and 82,566
shares, respectively. As a result of the mandatory redemption
described above, Sean Hurst, Chris Spencer and Tony Dalwood will,
immediately following the redemption date, hold approximately
5,025, 18,126 and 77,008 shares, respectively.
