Extension to Share Buy-Back Programme
28 February 2013
NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or "the Company"), a closed-end
private equity fund of funds investment company, today announces the extension
of the share buy-back programme (the "Programme") that was implemented with
effect from 22 October 2010. The Programme, which was due to expire on 28
February 2013, was designed with the objective of implementing the capital
return policy announced by the Company on 15 October 2010. The Board believe
that it is in the interests of shareholders in the Company to extend the term of
the Programme to 31 May 2013. The other terms and conditions of the Programme
will not be amended in any way.
NBPE has appointed Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies") to manage the
Programme and authorised Jefferies to effect on-market repurchases of class A
ordinary shares ("Shares") on behalf of the Company on Euronext Amsterdam and/or
the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (each an
"Exchange").
Pursuant to and during the term of the Programme, Jefferies may independently
of, and without influence by NBPE, purchase Shares from time to time at its
absolute discretion provided that:
i. the maximum price payable for a Share on an Exchange may not exceed the
higher of (i) the price of the last independent trade; and (ii) the highest
current independent bid, in each case with respect to the Shares on the
relevant Exchange; and
ii. the aggregate number of Shares which may be acquired on behalf of the
Company in connection with the Programme (inclusive of any Shares
repurchased by the Company prior to the date of this announcement) shall
not exceed 6,776,250 (representing 13% of the Company's issued share
capital as at the date of this announcement).
As at the date of this announcement, 2,269,028 Shares have been bought back by
the Company pursuant to the Programme. As such, the Company is permitted to
purchase up to 4,507,222 more Shares under the terms of the Programme.
Share buy-backs under the Programme will be made pursuant to the shareholder
authority granted to the Company at the Annual General Meeting held on 15 May
2012, as detailed in the announcement made by the Company on 16 May 2012.
Due to the limited liquidity in the Shares, a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the
Programme on any trading day is likely to represent a significant proportion of
the daily trading volume in the Shares on the relevant Exchange (and is likely
to materially exceed the 25% and 50% limits of the average daily trading volume
during September 2010 as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No.
2273/2003 on buy-back programmes).
NBPE will continue to make a public announcement of any market repurchase of
Shares no later than 7:30a.m. (London time)/8:30a.m. (Amsterdam time) on the
business day following the calendar day on which the repurchase occurred.
Shares bought back under the Programme will be cancelled.
