FACT SHEET – JUNE 2011 Investment objective HgCapital Trust plc, which was established in 1989, is an investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Trust’s objective is to provide shareholders with long-term capital appreciation in excess of the FTSE All-Share Index by investing in unquoted companies. The Manager, HgCapital, seeks to meet the investment objective of the Trust using a business model that combines deep sector knowledge, a rigorous research-based approach and associated thematic investment origination and selection to systematically identify and repeatedly invest in the most attractive segments of the European mid-market, optimising deal flow and improving returns. In addition, the Trust has diversified into the renewable energy sector and currently holds investments in two HgCapital renewable energy funds. Why invest? The Trust provides investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of private equity investments primarily in the UK and Continental Europe which has delivered superior returns over the past 10 years, outperforming the FTSE All Share by 3.0x on a total return* basis. The Manager, HgCapital, has continued confidence in the ‘Thematic Investing’ strategy using sector expertise to grow industry champions and to sustain future outperformance. Events since 30 June 2011 • NAV per share at 31 July 2011 was 1,142.6p (basic) and 1,114.1p (diluted); movement from June mainly due to foreign exchange fluctuations. • A £15m secondary LP investment was made in Hg6 (£7.8m cash, £7.2m commitment) in July 2011, a 2% premium to the 31 December 2010 NAV. • A £60m commitment to the Manager’s Mercury fund has been agreed by the Board. Mercury will invest exclusively in the TMT sector in the UK and Continental Europe focusing on smaller companies with an EV of between £20m and £100m. • The Trust has recently finalised a £40m three year standby facility with Lloyds TSB Bank plc, on an unsecured basis. • In July, the intended sale of Mondo was announced, anticipated to complete in Q4 2011. Initial estimated proceeds of £13.7m are due with a further £2.8m over the next two years. This compares with a carrying value of £14.7m as at 30 June 2011 and an original cost of £7 million. Outstanding commitments As at 30 June 2011 liquid resources were £94m representing 26% of NAV, with outstanding commitments of £191m (52% of NAV).
