   Manager Commentary 
 
   During September, NBPE funded $4.6 million to new investments, of which 
$4.5 million was to income investments and $0.1 million was a follow on 
to an existing equity co-investment. In terms of realisations, NBPE 
received $9.8 million from direct equity investments consisting of $6.3 
million from an undisclosed business services company, $2.0 million from 
Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) as a result of a partial sales of public stock, and 
$1.2 million from West Marine. NBPE also received $0.4 million from 
income investments, consisting of interest and principal receipts, and 
$0.1 million from fund investments. 
 
   Another notable portfolio development during September was the IPO of 
Vitru, a Brazilian distance learning education company (formerly known 
as Uniasselvi), on the NASDAQ stock exchange which now trades under the 
ticker symbol "VTRU". 
 
   Approximately 85% of the valuation information contained in this monthly 
NAV update is based on 30 June 2020 private company valuations. These 
valuations will be updated in coming weeks as Q3 valuation information 
is received from underlying sponsors.
