Performance Update at 31 October 2025

 

Distribution Pool and Share Buybacks

During the month, PIN invested £9.8m in share buybacks, repurchasing
2,787,446 shares at a weighted average price of 352.7p per share. This price
reflected an average discount of 31.0% to the prevailing net asset value (NAV)
per share at the time of the transactions.

Following the announcement of its revised capital allocation policy in
September, PIN has established a Distribution Pool with an opening balance of
£60.0m. In the financial year to date, a further £31.1m has been allocated
to the Distribution Pool, which is equivalent to 20% of the gross
distributions received during the period.

Share buybacks completed in the five months to 31 October 2025 were £38.4m,
resulting in a +0.9% uplift to the May 2025 NAV per share. The Distribution
Pool balance as at 31 October 2025 was £52.7m, providing a substantial source
of liquidity to support PIN's active capital management and allocation
policies.

Month to 31 October 2025

PIN announced an unaudited net asset value ("NAV") per share of 519.3p as at
31 October 2025, an increase of +8.6p (+1.7%) from the NAV per share as at 30
September 2025.

In the month to 31 October 2025, valuation movements** were -1.9p (-0.4%),
investment income** added +0.5p (+0.1%), foreign exchange movements** were
+10.0p (+2.0%), share buybacks added +1.0p (+0.2%) and expenses and taxes****
were -1.0p (-0.2%).

PIN's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest
valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which PIN has holdings. In
the case of PIN's valuation as at 31 October 2025, 6% of reported valuations
are dated 31 October 2025 or later, 6% are dated 30 September 2025, 84% are
dated 30 June 2025, 4% are dated 31 March 2025. Of the 6% of valuations dated
31 October 2025 or later, 4.9% reflect the mark-to-market fair value
adjustment for listed company holdings.

At 31 October 2025, PIN's private equity assets stood at £2,496m, whilst net
available cash balances^ were £18m. The Asset Linked Note^^ ("ALN")
outstanding as at 31 October 2025 amounted to £22m. Undrawn commitments to
investments stood at £697m as at 31 October 2025, calculated using exchange
rates at that date. PIN maintains a £400m^^^ multi-tranche, multi-currency
revolving credit facility. As at 31 October 2025, £113m was drawn down under
the credit facility and $150m (£114m GBP equivalent as at month end) of
private placement notes were outstanding, resulting in a net debt to NAV ratio
of 9.3%.^^^^

Net Portfolio Cash Flow

PIN received distributions of £39.4m relative to £17.6m of calls from
existing commitments to private equity funds. Therefore, PIN's portfolio
generated net cash of £21.8m during the month.

New Investments

PIN made a £5.4m co-investment, alongside Advent International, in Kereis, a
multi-channel insurance brokerage based in France.

*Based on the change in the NAV per share and ordinary share price over the
period.

**Figures are stated net of movements associated with the ALN share of the
reference portfolio. Valuation movement includes the mark-to-market fair value
adjustment of listed company holdings.

***Ratio of net available cash, portfolio value and undrawn credit facility to
outstanding commitments. Outstanding commitments relating to funds outside
their investment period (>13 years old) were excluded from the calculation
as there is a low likelihood of these being drawn. This amounted to £38.2m as
at 31 October 2025.

****Operating expenses, financing costs and withholding taxes on investment
distributions.

^Net available cash calculated as cash and net current assets / (liabilities)
less undistributed net cashflows associated with the ALN.

^^Unlisted 10-year note issued on 31 October 2017 whose cost and repayments
are linked to a reference portfolio consisting of the Company's older vintage
funds.

^^^ PIN maintains a £400m multi-currency credit facility. The overall credit
facility comprises facilities of US$402.3m and €115.2m and had a sterling
equivalent value of £407.3m as at 31 October  2025. As at 31 October 2025,
PIN had drawn down £113.4m of the credit facility.

^^^^Net debt calculated as borrowings (excluding the outstanding balance of
the Asset Linked Note) less net available cash. The ALN is not considered in
the calculation of gross borrowings or the loan-to-value ratio, as defined in
PIN's credit facility and note agreements. If the ALN is included, net debt to
NAV was 10.2% as at 31 October 2025.
