NB Private Equity Partners Limited - Corporate Update
13 February 2017
NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or the "Company"), a closed-end private equity investment company, announces the appointment of Jefferies International Limited to act as sponsor and financial adviser to the Company as it evaluates a range of strategic initiatives relating to its corporate governance structure and listing arrangements.
These initiatives include the potential for increasing the voting rights of the Company's class A ordinary shares ("A Shares") and a transfer of listing of the A Shares from the Specialist Fund Segment to the Premium Segment of the London Stock Exchange. The listing of the A Shares on Euronext Amsterdam would not be affected.
The Board is working with the Company's advisers to evaluate a number of technical matters in this regard before determining the most appropriate course of action for the Company. The Board is committed to optimising the Company's structure in a way that maximises value for, and protects the interests of, all NBPE shareholders.
The Company intends to make a further announcement in the near future.
