NBPE Announces Increased Semi-Annual Dividend
15 January 2021
NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or the "Company"), today
declared an increased semi-annual dividend payment for the Company's
Ordinary Shares of $0.31 per Share, to be paid on 26 February 2021. In
line with its long term dividend policy, this payment represents a yield
of 3.0% of the 31 December 2020 estimated NAV per share of $20.53
(GBP15.02) on an annualised basis. Based on the London Stock Exchange
closing share price of GBP11.95 ($16.36 at a GBP/USD exchange rate of
$1.369) on 14 January 2021, this payment represents an annualised
dividend yield of 3.8%.
2020 was a successful and active year for NBPE. The increased dividend
was driven by NBPE's strong NAV growth of 10.8% during the year (based
on the December monthly NAV update which contained 82% of valuations as
of 30 September 2020, final December 2020 NAV is expected in April
2021). The Company had significant realisation activity in 2020. Total
realisations during the year were $199.1 million, representing
approximately 18.3% of the portfolio's opening value. These realisations
were driven by five full/final exits which together generated total cash
proceeds of $114.4 million in 2020 and an aggregate gross multiple of
2.9x invested capital (inclusive of prior realisations). The Company
also made a significant amount of new investments during 2020 with
$131.6 million of total investment activity and the manager continues to
review new opportunities for inclusion in NBPE's portfolio in 2021.
These numbers compare favourably to the 2019 calendar year, in which
NBPE had realisations of $179.0 million (representing 17.5% of the
portfolio's opening value) and invested $121.8 million.
While the Company declares dividends in US Dollars, Shareholders will
receive Sterling dividends 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 may also participate in a dividend re-investment plan
(forms for which are available on NBPE's website) if they wish to
increase their shareholdings instead of receiving cash dividends.
