COMPLETION OF SEVENTH MANDATORY REDEMPTION

GUERNSEY, 01 APRIL 2020

 

 

The Board of Directors of JPEL Private Equity Limited ("JPEL" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the partial mandatory redemption of the Company's US$ Equity Share class announced on 25 March 2020 has been completed with the redemption of 22,346,190 US$ Equity Shares ("Mandatory Redemption").

 

On 01 April 2020, JPEL redeemed 22,346,190 US$ Equity Shares, on a pro rata basis, at the prevailing NAV per US$ Equity Share of $1.79 as at 31 December 2019. Such shares were cancelled automatically following their redemption.

 

Fractions of shares produced by the applicable redemption ratios have not been redeemed and so the number of shares redeemed in respect of each shareholder has been rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

 

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 9 April 2020. Any share certificates for the balance of holdings of shares will also be despatched to shareholders on or around 9 April 2020.

 

The US$ Equity Shares were disabled in CREST on the record date (31 March 2020) and the existing ISIN number GG00BKTRF395 (the "Old ISIN") has expired. The new ISIN number GG00BMDQPC56 (the "New ISIN") in respect of the remaining 129,101,529 US$ Equity Shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and will be available for transactions on 01 April 2020.

 

Inclusive of this Mandatory Redemption, JPEL will have returned $339.2 million to US$ Equity Shareholders, or approximately 71% of the Company's NAV and 89% of market capitalization at 31 October 2016 (being the date of the Company's first mandatory redemption).

 

DIRECTORS' INTERESTS

 

As a result of the Mandatory Redemption described above, Sean Hurst, Christopher Spencer and Tony Dalwood are expected, immediately following the redemption date, to hold approximately 13,988, 16,876 and 71,696 US$ Equity Shares, respectively.
