Partial sale of International Schools Partnership

 

PGPE Ltd is pleased to inform you that Partners Group, its Investment Manager,
is to welcome CVC Strategic Opportunities ("CVC") as a significant minority
shareholder in International Schools Partnership ("ISP"), a leading global
K-12 school platform. CVC will acquire a 20% stake in the company.

 

·    As of 31 August 2025, ISP is the sixth largest investee company in
the portfolio of PGPE Ltd

·    The transaction values the stake of PGPE Ltd in ISP in line with the
latest published NAV at approximately EUR 45 million.

·    As part of the transaction, PGPE Ltd will sell approximately 20% of
its exposure to ISP, amounting to around EUR 9 million. The transaction is
expected to close by Q1 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory
approvals.

 

Partners Group, one of the largest firms in the global private markets
industry, will remain the majority shareholder and OMERS, which acquired a
minority stake in ISP in 2021, will also remain a shareholder.

 

Partners Group and the ISP management team founded ISP in 2013 and have since
built it into one of the largest K-12 school platforms globally, educating
over 110,000 students in 111 schools across 25 countries. ISP follows a proven
growth strategy, adding high-quality schools to its platform in locations with
strong demand and enhancing them with the company's differentiated learning
approach. ISP aims to provide a holistic education and develop all aspects of
a student's learning experience, with a strong focus on academic progress, as
well as the development of language, digital, and life skills.

 

During its ownership, Partners Group's transformational investing approach has
focused on helping ISP's schools to deliver high quality education. In ISP's
next phase of growth, the new shareholder group and management team will work
together on further driving the company's successful strategy. Key value
creation initiatives will include adding new schools to the platform,
investing in the development and implementation of proprietary technology
solutions as part of teaching, and further expanding the infrastructure of
schools to improve the student experience and provide room for future growth.
