INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

QUARTER ENDED 30 APRIL 2016

ICG Enterprise Trust plc ("ICG Enterprise" or "the Company") presents its Interim Management Statement for the quarter ended 30 April 2016.

Performance overview1

In the three months to 30 April, the net asset value per share increased by 1.9% to 745.2p. In the same period the share price fell 0.6% against a 3.9% increase in the FTSE All-Share Index.

In the last twelve months the net asset value per share increased by 9.9%, while the share price fell 3.0% against a 5.7% fall in the FTSE All-Share Index.

In the three months to 30 April, the value of the portfolio in local currencies increased by 1.8%. The impact of currency movements on non-sterling investments and cash balances increased the net asset value by a net 0.6%, with expenses and other items reducing it by 0.5%. Overall, the net asset value increased by 1.9%.

The long term performance of the Company remains strong, with both the net asset value and the share price comfortably outperforming the Index over one, three, five and ten years.

Performance and activity in the quarter

Valuation of the portfolio

Approximately two-thirds of the 1.8% increase in the local currency valuation of the portfolio was driven by full exits or refinancings.

Proceeds

The portfolio generated 29.3 million of proceeds in the three months to 30 April.

Ten full realisations were completed, accounting for 18.3 million of the proceeds received for an average return of 1.6 times cost. Eight post-crisis investments generated an average uplift on realisation of 21% for a return of 2.7 times cost. Two pre-crisis investments dragged the average return down to 1.6 times cost.

The remaining 11.0 million of total proceeds was generated by a combination of refinancings, sell-downs of listed holdings by third party managers and other partial realisations.

Additions and new commitments

New investment activity in the quarter totalled 17.1 million, with fund drawdowns of 8.3 million and secondary purchases and co-investments of 8.8 million.

New commitment activity was led by a commitment of $15 million to the ICG Strategic Secondary Fund II and a $15 million co-investment in a new secondary transaction alongside that fund. This investment increases the exposure of the Company to private equity investments in the US and should be a good source of future co-investment opportunities.

We also committed 20 million to the Sixth Cinven Fund and 15 million to Advent GPE Fund VIII. Both are existing manager relationships for ICG Enterprise.

Cash and liquid assets2

The portfolio generated a net 10.0 million of cash in the three months to 30 April. Expenses and positive currency movements reduced cash by a net 0.1 million. Overall, cash and liquid assets increased by 9.9million to 113.7 million.
