NB Private Equity Partners Announces its Second 2018 Dividend and Announces New Target Dividend Policy

19 July 2018

Second 2018 Dividend

NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or the "Company"), a closed-end private equity investment company, today declared the second 2018 semi-annual dividend payment on the Company's class A Ordinary Shares ("Shares") of $0.28 per Share, to be paid on 31 August 2018. This dividend is a $0.03 increase from the Company's prior dividend payment.¹ On an annualised basis, this dividend payment represents a dividend yield of 4.1% based on the London Stock Exchange closing price of £10.50 ($13.70 at GBP/USD exchange rate of $1.305) on 18 July 2018.

NBPE also announces a target dividend policy as a further enhancement of its ongoing policy of returning capital to shareholders. NBPE intends to target an annualised dividend yield of 3.0% or greater on NAV and plans to continue to make semi-annual payments to shareholders. This dividend yield is a target only, is subject to available capacity and is not guaranteed.

The dividend is payable from income and realisations and is approximately 4.8x covered based on 30 June 2018 YTD cash distributions to NBPE of approximately $131 million.² While the Company declares dividends in US Dollars, Shareholders will receive Sterling at the prevailing rate at the time of currency conversion, unless an election to receive dividends in US Dollars is made on forms which are available on NBPE's website prior to the currency election date listed below. If an investor has previously elected to receive US Dollars, that election will be used unless changed. Investors who seek capital gains rather than income also have the option of participating in a dividend re-investment plan, forms of which are available on NBPE's website.

Dividend Timetable

1. This dividend as well as future dividends shall be conditional on the passing of the solvency test under Guernsey law. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company's financial position, annual dividend amounts and the timing of future dividends. Future dividend payments will be announced by NBPE after the Board of Directors have completed such evaluation.
2. The above distribution guidance regarding investment portfolio performance is not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this distribution level will be sustained or that the Company will make any distributions whatsoever. The times and dates in this announcement are expected times and dates only and are subject to change. Any such changes will be notified to shareholders through a regulatory information service.
3. Anyone acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. person who elects to receive additional shares through the dividend re-investment plan would need to sign a Qualified Purchaser certification, which is available from the Company's Investor Relations upon request by contacting +1 214 647 9593 or IR_NBPE@nb.com.
