STANDARD LIFE PRIVATE EQUITY TRUST PLC ("SLPET" OR "THE
COMPANY") ANNOUNCES ITS ESTIMATED NET ASSET VALUE ("NAV") AT 31
AUGUST 2019
-- ESTIMATED NAV AT 31 AUGUST 2019 WAS 454.7 PENCE PER SHARE
(ACTUAL NAV AT 30 JUNE 2019 WAS 452.8 PENCE PER SHARE)
-- SLPET RECEIVED GBP15.2 MILLION OF DISTRIBUTIONS AND PAID
GBP1.9 MILLION OF DRAWDOWNS DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST
-- OUTSTANDING COMMITMENTS OF GBP492.6 MILLION AT 31 AUGUST 2019
SLPET's valuation policy for private equity funds and
co-investments is based on the latest valuations reported by the
managers of the funds and co-investment in which the Company has
interests. In the case of SLPET's valuation at 31 August 2019,
100.0% by value of the portfolio valuations were dated 30 June
2019.
Estimated NAV
At 31 August 2019, SLPET's estimated NAV was 454.7 pence per
share (estimated net assets GBP699.0 million), representing a 0.4%
per share increase from the actual NAV at 30 June 2019 of 452.8
pence per share (actual net assets GBP696.2 million). The 1.9 pence
increase in NAV per share reflected unrealised foreign exchange
gains arising primarily from a 1.0% appreciation in the euro versus
sterling during July and August, offset by the dividend paid in
July.
Draw downs and distributions
SLPET received GBP15.2 million of distributions and paid GBP1.9
million of drawdowns during the month of August. The distributions
received generated realised gains and income of GBP7.2 million.
Commitments
A new commitment of EUR21.5 million was made to Vitruvian I CF
in August. The Company had GBP492.6 million of outstanding
commitments at 31 August 2019, of which the Manager believes that
around GBP85.0 million is unlikely to be drawn.
Following the portfolio sale of 18 fund commitments, of older
vintages and/or managed by General Partners which are no longer
core Company relationships, in early September, the Company had
total outstanding commitments of GBP465.4 million at 13 September.
The Manager believes that around GBP60 million of the Company's
outstanding commitments at that time are unlikely to be drawn.
Balance sheet and credit facility
The Company had resources available for investment of GBP80.1
million at 31 August 2019. At 13 September, following the portfolio
sale of 18 fund commitments outlined above, the Company had
resources available for investment of GBP78.3 million. In addition,
the Company has an undrawn GBP80 million syndicated revolving
credit facility, provided by Citibank and Societe Generale that
expires in December 2020.
Future announcements
The Company is expecting to announce its estimated NAV at 30
September 2019 on 14 October 2019.

Valuation Methodology
Unquoted investments are stated at the directors' estimate of
fair value and follow the recommendations of EVCA and BVCA. The
estimate of fair value is normally the latest valuation placed on a
fund or co-investment by its manager at the balance sheet date. The
valuation policies used by the manager in undertaking that
valuation will generally be in line with the joint publication from
EVCA and BVCA, 'International Private Equity and Venture Capital
Valuation guidelines'. Where formal valuations are not completed at
the balance sheet date the last available valuation from the fund
manager or co-investment lead is adjusted for any subsequent
cashflows occurring between the valuation date and the balance
sheet date. The Company's Manager may further adjust such
valuations to reflect any changes in circumstances from the last
manager's formal valuation date to arrive at the estimate of fair
value, for example, where sales proceeds are available. Quoted
investments are valued based on quoted prices as of the last day of
the relevant period.
The Company intends to release regular estimated NAV updates
around ten business days after each month end, while continuing to
issue quarterly trading statements. A breakdown of SLPET's
portfolio can be obtained in the latest monthly factsheet, which is
published on SLPET's website at:
