Princess invested EUR 2.4 million, of which EUR 1.9
million was provided as additional capital to EyeCare Partners, one
of the largest clinically integrated medical vision services
providers in the US, and International Schools Partnership, a
leading global K-12 schools group. The additional capital will be
used to support operations and acquisition pipelines. The remaining
EUR 0.5 million was deployed in additional investments across the
portfolio.
Princess received distributions of EUR 1.4 million,
of which EUR 1.0 million was received from its investment in Global
Blue, an NYSE-listed provider of VAT refund and foreign exchange
services for international travelers. This was the result of a USD
100 million strategic equity investment from internet and
technology company Tencent and a refinancing of the company's
debt, both occurring in November 2023.
In addition, the cash balance reduced as a result of
partially repaying the drawn amount on the revolving credit
facility in order to minimize the financing cost for the
Company.
