CapMan Plc Stock Exchange Release – 11 August 2011 at 8.30 a.m. EET

 

CapMan Plc Group’s Interim Report, 1 January – 30 June 2011

 

Performance during the review period:

– Group turnover totalled MEUR 15.7 (January-June 2010: MEUR 21.0).
– The Group’s operating profit was MEUR 9.2 (MEUR 4.5).
– The Management Company business recorded an operating profit of MEUR -0,9 (MEUR 4.2). The Fund Investment business recorded an operating profit of MEUR 10.1 (MEUR 0.3), of which exits accounted for approximately half.
– Profit before taxes was MEUR 12.0 (MEUR 6.4) and profit after taxes was MEUR 8.9 (MEUR 5.2).
– Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was MEUR 8.7 (MEUR 5.1). Earnings per share were 8.9 cents (4.6 cents).
– Capital under management as of 30 June 2011 totalled MEUR 3,351.3 (30 June 2010: MEUR 3,541.0).
– Our guidance for 2011 remains unchanged. We expect CapMan’s operating profit for 2011 to exceed the 2010 operating profit, mainly as a result of positive development in CapMan’s own fund investments. CapMan recorded an operating profit of MEUR 6.3 excluding non-recurring items in 2010. Our guidance assumes that the drop in the current stock market valuations is partly temporary and will not impact the fair values of CapMan’s own fund investments in full.

 

 

CEO Lennart Simonsen:

 

“We saw an overall good development in our portfolio companies resulting in a good fair value development of our own fund investments during the first half of the year. The M&A market picked up in the second quarter of the year, in terms of both increased quality deal flow and number of exit processes initiated by our funds. Our funds continue to have several exit processes ongoing both for portfolio companies and real estate, but their outcomes are difficult to forecast in the current market environment. The continued turmoil in the financial markets may decrease the visibility of both deal flow and bank financing during the rest of the year.

Fundraising market continues to be challenging despite some signs of recovery in the first half of the year. CapMan’s significant new fundraising rounds will take place in 2012. The most visible simplification measure during the period was the sale of CapMan Real Estate’s consulting business.  We expect the cost saving effects of the simplification measures to be fully visible during 2012.”

Business operations

CapMan is a private equity fund manager operating in the Nordic countries and Russia; and also makes investments in its own funds. The guiding principle for the investment activities of the funds managed by the Group is to work actively and directly towards increasing the value of investments. The Group has two operating segments: the Management Company business and the Fund Investment business.

Income from the Management Company business is derived from management fees paid by funds and carried interest received from funds. Management fees normally cover the company’s operating costs and generally represent a steady and very predictable source of income.

Income from the Fund Investment business comes from changes in the fair value of investments and realised returns on CapMan’s own fund investments. Depending on the development of funds’ investments and the general market situation, these can have a significant positive or negative impact on the Group’s result.

As there may be considerable quarterly fluctuations in carried interest and the fair value of fund investments, the Group’s financial performance should be analysed over a longer time span than the quarterly cycle.

Group turnover and result in January – June 2011

The Group’s turnover decreased in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010 and totalled MEUR 15.7 (MEUR 21.0). This was attributable to lower carried interest income and lower management fees than in the first half of 2010. Operating expenses were MEUR 17.5 (MEUR 16.9).

The Group’s operating profit totalled MEUR 9.2 (MEUR 4.5). Financial income and expenses amounted to MEUR 0.4 (MEUR 0.0). CapMan’s share of the profit of its associated companies was MEUR 2.4 (MEUR 1.9). Profit before taxes was MEUR 12.0 (MEUR 6.4) and profit after taxes was MEUR 8.9 (MEUR 5.2).

Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was MEUR 8.7 (MEUR 5.1). Earnings per share were 8.9 cents (4.6 cents).

A quarterly breakdown of turnover and profit, together with turnover, operating profit/loss, and profit/loss by segment for the review period, can be found in the Tables section of this report.

Management Company business

Turnover generated by the Management Company business during the review period totalled MEUR 15.7 (MEUR 21.0). Management fees decreased, as expected, compared to the same period last year and totalled MEUR 13.9 (MEUR 17.3). This was attributable to exits made after the comparable period in question and the decision made in the last quarter of 2010 to reduce the size of the CapMan Technology 2007 fund.

Income from real estate consulting increased compared to the same period last year and totalled MEUR 1.0 (MEUR 0.8). The aggregate total of management fees and income from real estate consulting was MEUR 14.9 (MEUR 18.1).

Carried interest income totalled MEUR 0.4 and came mainly from the Finnmezzanine III B fund following its transfer to carry after its exit from OneMed Group. Carried interest income during the first half of 2010 totalled MEUR 2.5.

The Management Company business recorded an operating profit of MEUR -0.9 (MEUR 4.2) and a profit of MEUR -0.5 (MEUR 3.5). The status of the funds managed by CapMan is presented in more detail in Appendix 1.

Fund Investment business

Fair value changes related to fund investments during the first half of 2011 were MEUR 10.3 (MEUR 0.4) and represented a 16.9% increase in value over the period, compared to a 0.6% increase in value during the comparable period last year. Completed exits accounted for approximately half of fair value changes. The development of individual portfolio companies, as well as changes in the market capitalisation of their listed peers, impacted fair value development. The aggregate fair value of fund investments as of 30 June 2011 was MEUR 65.2 (30 June 2010: MEUR 60.7).

Operating profit for the Fund Investment business was MEUR 10.1 (MEUR 0.3) and profit for the period was MEUR 9.4 (MEUR 1.7). CapMan’s share of the result of its Maneq associated companies impacted profit performance. The changes in the fair value of investments made by Maneq funds impacted the performance of Maneq companies.

CapMan made new investments in its funds totalling MEUR 6.5 (MEUR 5.5) during the review period. The majority of these were made in CapMan Buyout IX and CapMan Public Market funds. CapMan received distributions from funds totalling MEUR 17.0 (MEUR 4.4). The majority of this capital was received from the CapMan Buyout VIII fund following its exit from OneMed Group and Proxima. CapMan did not make any new commitments to funds during the first half.

The amount of remaining commitments totalled MEUR 28.0 as of 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: MEUR 37.0). The aggregate fair value of existing investments and remaining commitments as of the same date was MEUR 93.2 (MEUR 97.7). CapMan’s objective is to invest 1-5% of the original capital in the new funds that it manages, depending on fund size, fund demand, and CapMan’s own investment capacity.

Investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG), while real estate assets are valued in accordance with the value appraisals of external experts, as detailed in Appendix 1. Fair value changes have no impact on the Group’s cash flows.

Investments at fair value and remaining investment capacity by investment area are presented in the Tables section.

Balance sheet and financial position as of 30 June 2011

CapMan’s balance sheet totalled MEUR 142.0 as of 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: MEUR 139.7). Non-current assets amounted to MEUR 106.5 (MEUR 114.6), of which the carrying amount of goodwill totalled MEUR 6.2 (MEUR 10.2). A goodwill write-down of approximately MEUR 0.2 at the end of the review period was related to the sale of the real estate consulting business. Goodwill was lower compared to the comparable period last year also as a result of the write-down related to the reorganisation of technology operations booked in the last quarter of 2010.

Fund investments booked at fair value totalled MEUR 65.2 (MEUR 60.7). Long-term receivables amounted to MEUR 19.1 (MEUR 25.4), of which MEUR 18.4 (MEUR 24.5) were loan receivables from Maneq funds. In addition to CapMan Plc, CapMan personnel are investors in Maneq funds. The expected returns from CapMan’s Maneq investments are broadly in line with the return expectations for CapMan’s other investments in its own funds, and Maneq funds pay market rate interest on loans they receive from CapMan Plc.

Current assets amounted to MEUR 32.0 (MEUR 25.1). Liquid assets (cash in hand and at banks, plus other financial assets at fair value through profit and loss) increased as a result of the OneMed and Proxima exists made during the review period, and amounted to MEUR 27.7 (MEUR 16.0).

 

The size of CapMan’s hybrid bond stands at MEUR 29.0. Due to the dividends paid, the interest on the bond for the financial year is deducted from equity in line with the terms of the loan. The interest on the bond is payable semi- annually. CapMan Plc had a bank financing package of MEUR 44.4 (MEUR 53.8) available as of 30 June 2011, of which MEUR 34.4 (MEUR 43.8) was utilised. Trade and other payables totalled MEUR 17.3 (MEUR 13.7). The Group’s interest-bearing net debts amounted to MEUR 7.3 (MEUR 29.1).

 

The Group’s cash flow from operations totalled MEUR -5.2 (MEUR 3.9). Income from fund management fees is paid semi-annually, in January and July, and is shown under working capital in the cash flow statement. Cash flow from investments totalled MEUR 17.0 (MEUR -1.1) and is related to fund investments and repaid capital received by the company. Cash flow before financing totalled MEUR 11.9 (MEUR 2.8), while cash flow from financing was MEUR -18.6 (MEUR -6.2). Cash flow from financing includes the dividend paid to shareholders in April, which totalled MEUR 10.3.

Key figures as of 30 June 2011

CapMan’s equity ratio as of 30 June 2011 was 60.2% (30 June 2010: 55.7%). Return on equity was 20.2% (13.3%) and return on investment was 19.9% (11.7%). The target level for the company’s equity ratio is at least 60% and at least 20% for return on equity.

Fundraising during the first half and capital under management as of 30 June 2011

Capital under management refers to the remaining investment capacity of funds and capital already invested at acquisition cost. Capital increases as fundraising for new funds progresses and declines as exits are made.

Globally speaking, the fundraising market showed some signs of improvement during the early part of the year and the amount of capital raised for new funds has increased slightly. The overall amount of capital raised for new funds still remains at a significantly low level, however. The market is expected to continue to remain challenging as the number of funds raising capital is likely to grow and fund investors are increasingly selective in their investment choices.* CapMan continued fundraising for its CapMan Mezzanine V fund during the review period. CapMan’s significant new fundraising rounds will take place in 2012.

Capital under management decreased following the exits made after the comparable period last year and the decision made in the last quarter of 2010 to reduce the size of the CapMan Technology 2007 fund, and totalled MEUR 3,351.3 as of 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: MEUR 3,541.0). Of this, MEUR 1,635.3 (MEUR 1,813.2) was held in funds making investments in portfolio companies and MEUR 1,716.0 (MEUR 1,727.8) in real estate funds.

Funds under management and their investment activities are presented in more detail in Appendices 1 and 2.

Board authorisations

The AGM authorised the Board to purchase CapMan B shares and accept them as pledges, to decide on a share issue, as well as the issuance of special rights entitling holders to shares. These authorisations will remain in force until 30 June 2012 and their content is covered in more detail in the stock exchange release related to the decisions adopted by the AGM issued on 30 March 2011.

Personnel

CapMan employed a total of 122 people as of 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: 146), of whom 80 (103) worked in Finland and the remainder in the other Nordic countries, Russia, and Luxembourg. Personnel numbers dropped in the period under review mainly as a result of the sale of the real estate consulting business. A breakdown of personnel by country and team is presented in the Tables section.

Shares and share capital

There were no changes in either CapMan Plc’s share capital or the number of shares during the review period. Share capital as of 30 June 2011 totalled EUR 771,586.98. The number of B shares totalled 78,281,766 and the number of A shares 6,000,000.

B shares entitle holders to one vote per share and A shares to 10 votes per share.

Shareholders

The number of CapMan Plc shareholders increased by over 10% from the comparable period and totalled 5,371 as of 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: 4,871). No flagging notices were issued during the review period.

Company shares

As of 30 June 2011, CapMan Plc held a total of 26,299 CapMan Plc B shares. There were no changes in the number of shares held by CapMan Plc during the review period.

Stock option programmes

As of 30 June 2011, CapMan Plc had one stock option programme in place – Option Programme 2008 – as part of incentive and commitment arrangements for personnel. The maximum number of stock options issued under Option Programme 2008 will be 4,270,000, which will carry an entitlement to subscribe to a maximum of 4,270,000 new B shares. The programme is divided into A and B series, both of which cover a maximum of 2,135,000 option entitlements. The share subscription price of the 2008A options is EUR 2.53 and of the 2008B option EUR 0.96. The subscription period for 2008A options started on 1 May 2011 and for 2008B options will start on 1 May 2012. Receivables from shares subscribed to using these options will be entered in the company’s invested unrestricted shareholders’ equity. As of the end of June 2011, 1,811,500 of 2008A stock option entitlements and 1,630,000 2008B stock option entitlements were allocated.

Trading and market capitalisation

CapMan Plc’s B shares closed at EUR 1.35 on 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: EUR 1.41). The average price during the review period was EUR 1.63 (EUR 1.67). The highest price paid was EUR 1.84 (EUR 1.98) and the lowest EUR 1.23 (EUR 1.33). The number of CapMan Plc B shares traded during the first half of 2011 was clearly higher than in the first half of 2010, with a total of 10.7 million (6.3 million) shares traded, valued at MEUR 17.5 (MEUR 10.5).

The market capitalisation of CapMan Plc B shares as of 30 June 2011 was MEUR 105.7 (MEUR 110.4). The market capitalisation of all company shares, including A shares valued at the closing price of B shares, was MEUR 113.8 (MEUR 118.9).

Other events during the review period

The final exit of CapMan-managed funds from Å&R Carton AB was announced in June. The transaction is expected to be closed during the third quarter and will have an approximately MEUR 2.5 impact on CapMan’s result for 2011 as a result of the carried interest income generated for the funds involved.

CapMan sold its real estate consulting business to the business’ management at the end of June. The transaction will not have a substantive impact on CapMan’s 2011 result. Following the divestment, CapMan Real Estate will focus on managing the company’s real estate funds. CapMan Partner Mika Matikainen was appointed Head of the CapMan Real Estate Team as of 1 July 2011.

CapMan acquired from Corintium Oy its 20% stakes in the managing companies of CapMan’s current real estate funds and now owns these companies fully. The transactions will not have a substantive impact on CapMan’s result for 2011 or the administration and carried interest agreements related to existing real estate funds.

Significant risks and short-term uncertainties

CapMan’s Management Company business is generally profitable on an annual basis, but a major element of uncertainty is associated with forecasting the company’s overall financial performance because of the timing of revenue generated from possible carried interest and the development of the fair value of fund investments. After the reporting period ending on 30 June 2011 the financial turmoil has increased and impacted the business environment. If the current uncertainty regarding the general economic development continues and negative developments in stock market values prevail, CapMan’s operations will be affected by both the weakening of exit market and the decrease in fair values of CapMan’s own fund investments. The fair value of CapMan’s own fund investments is now reported as per 30 June 2011, and it doesn’t therefore take into account the recent negative developments in the stock market values nor its impacts on the market multiples of our portfolio companies’ listed peer group.  

If prolonged, the market turmoil is likely to impact fundraising by reducing fund investors’ willingness to make new commitments as a result of postponed distributions and the denominator affecting allocations between different asset classes. The fundraising environment is expected to remain challenging for at least the next 12 months, which could impact the outcome of fundraising during this period. The EU’s Basel III and Solvency II legislative initiatives will limit the ability of European banks and insurance companies in particular to invest in private equity funds, and this could also impact CapMan’s fundraising and consequently the amount of capital it has under management, and any new management fees that CapMan might receive.

Business environment

Long term growth prospects in the demand for private equity funds continue to remain good. The financial recession and its impacts have clearly slowed growth in the private equity industry, however. The fundraising market is expected to remain difficult in 2011 despite some signs of its gradual recovery in the first half of the year. According to a study made by Preqin in June 2011* nearly half of the institutional investors interviewed plan to commit more capital to private equity funds in 2011 in comparison to 2010, and over a half plan to commit more in 2012 than in 2011. On the other hand, a record number of funds are currently in the market and investors are proving more selective in their investment decisions than previously.* It is unclear how the current market uncertainty affects the investors willingness to make new commitments in the coming months. International investor interest is currently focused primarily on small and mid-cap buyout funds.**

Private equity has consolidated its position in financing M&A activities and growth, and continues to focus typically on sector consolidation, family successions, and the privatisation of public services and functions. Real estate funds, for their part, have gained an established share of institutional investors’ investment allocations.

CapMan funds investing in portfolio companies will continue to implement their investment strategies. Bank financing for both mergers and acquisitions and for real estate investments has been at a good level in the Nordic countries in the first part of 2011, and the volume of deal flow has remained good across all CapMan’s investment areas. At the same time the continued financial turmoil may decrease the visibility of both deal flow and bank financing during the rest of the year. The portfolios of our funds contain a number of investments that CapMan is now ready to exit from.

The development of our portfolio companies during the review period was largely good, and profit and growth projections for 2011 are mainly positive. In accordance with IPEVG criteria, the fair value development of portfolio companies will be impacted also by how the profit projections and market valuations of listed companies develop and by how the currencies used in our areas of operations perform against the euro. We plan to keep sufficient reserves in our funds to support the growth and financing of our companies. Long-term cooperation with the Nordic banks is particularly important for us, and has worked well.

In the real estate market, a significant proportion of transactions in recent years have taken place between Finnish investors, mainly institutional ones. International investor interest in the Finnish real estate market is clearly increasing, however. For the present, international interest has mainly focused on prime properties with a lower risk ratio, despite the limited availability of this type of property compared to demand. Along with increased demand, rising yield expectations have tailed off and property valuation levels have risen slightly, particularly in properties with a low level of lease-related cash flow risk. The number of transactions related to non-prime properties has remained low. We expect the number of real estate transactions, including those related to the latter category, to increase somewhat towards the end of 2011, partly as a result of an imbalance between supply and demand in lower-risk properties. Occupancy rates for office premises have continued to be satisfactory and there have been signs of a recovery in demand. The retail sector grew by approximately 6% during the first half of 2011, which had a positive effect on shopper numbers and sales at large shopping centres.

CapMan funds investing in portfolio companies have some MEUR 615 available for making new and add-on investments, while real estate funds have an investment capacity of approximately MEUR 300, mainly for developing their existing portfolios.

The European Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM directive) came into force on 21 July 2011, after which member states will have 24 months to integrate it into national legislation. The directive stipulates an operating license for participants, as well as other significant requirements, including fund investor and authority reporting. Thanks to its organisation and operating model, CapMan is in a good position to adopt the new regulations.

Future outlook

Management fees are expected to fall behind 2010 levels in 2011 as a result of exits reducing the management fee base and significant new fundraising rounds taking place primarily in 2012. Following restructuring carried out in 2010, operating expenses will decrease, but proportionally less than management fees. CapMan will continue to develop its organisation during 2011 to ensure growth in key investment partnerships. Management fees will not fully cover our operating expenses in 2011.

Exit negotiations are under way in respect of a number of companies and properties in the portfolios of CapMan funds. We expect the CapMan Equity VII A, B, and Sweden funds, as well as the Finnmezzanine III A fund, to transfer to carry during 2011-2012. The development of the fair value of fund investments will depend on the development of portfolio companies and the general market situation.

Our guidance remains unchanged and we expect our operating profit for 2011 to exceed our 2010 operating profit, mainly as a result of positive development in CapMan’s own fund investments. CapMan recorded an operating profit of MEUR 6.3 excluding non-recurring items in 2010.

Our guidance assumes that the drop in the current stock market valuations is partly temporary and will not impact the fair values of CapMan’s own fund investments in full.

APPENDIX 1: CAPMAN PLC GROUP’S FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT AS OF 30 JUNE 2011, MEUR

The tables below show the status of funds managed by CapMan as of 30 June 2011. When analysing the timetable according to which funds should start generating carried interest, the relationship between the cumulative cash flows already distributed to investors and paid-in capital should be compared. When a fund starts generating carried interest the capital must be returned and an annual preferential return paid on it. The fair value of a portfolio, including any of the fund’s net cash assets, represents the capital distributable to investors at the end of the review period.

When assessing the level of cash flow a fund needs to start generating carried interest, it should be noted that the capital of some funds has not yet been called and paid in. The percentage figures in the last column on the right of the tables below show CapMan’s share of cash flows if a fund is generating carried interest. After the previous distribution of profits, any new capital paid in, as well as the preferential annual return on it, must be returned to investors before further carried interest income can be paid.

The definitions of column headings are presented below the tables.

Explanation of the terminology used in the fund tables

 

Size/Original investment capacity:
Total capital committed to a fund by investors, i.e. the original size of a fund. For real estate funds, investment capacity also includes the share of debt financing used by a fund.

Paid-in capital:
Total capital paid into a fund by investors as of the end of the review period.

Fund’s current portfolio at fair value:
Fund investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG, www.privateequityvaluation.com), and investments in real estate assets are valued in accordance with the appraisals of external experts.

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Due to the nature of private equity investment activities, fund portfolios contain investments with a fair value that exceeds their acquisition cost, as well as investments with a fair value less than the acquisition cost.

Net cash assets:
When calculating the investors’ share, a fund’s net cash assets must be taken into account in addition to the portfolio at fair value. The proportion of debt financing in real estate funds is presented separately in the table.

 

CapMan’s share of cash flow if a fund generates carried interest:
When a fund has generated the cumulative preferential return for investors specified in the fund agreements, the management company is entitled to an agreed share of future cash flows from the fund, known as carried interest.

Cash flow, in this context, includes both profit distributed by funds and repayments of capital. After the previous distribution of profits, any new capital called in, as well as any annual preferential returns on it, must be returned to investors before any new distribution of profits can be paid.

 

Footnotes to the tables

1) So-called “Old funds”: Finnmezzanine Fund II B (established 1998, transferred to carry 2006). Fenno Fund (established in 1997, transferred to carry in 2005), Skandia I (established in 1997, transferred to carry in 2005) and Skandia II (established in 1997, transferred to carry in 2004) together form the Fenno Program, which is jointly managed with Fenno Management Oy.

2) The fund comprises two or more legal entities (parallel funds are presented separately only if the focus of their investment or portfolios differ significantly).

3) CapMan Technology 2007: Further to the reorganisation of technology investment operations announced in November 2010, the size of the CapMan Technology 2007 fund has been reduced by 30%.

4) Currency items are valued at the average exchange rates quoted on 30 June 2011.

5) CapMan Mezzanine IV: The paid-in commitment includes a MEUR 192 bond issued by Leverator Plc. Distributed cash flow includes payments to both bond subscribers and to the fund’s partners.

6) CapMan Real Estate I: Distributed cash flow includes repayment of the bonds and cash flow to the fund’s partners. Following the previous payment of carried interest, a total of MEUR 48.4 in paid-in capital had not yet been returned to investors. This capital, together with the annual income entitlement payable on it, must be paid to investors before further carried interest can be distributed.

CapMan’s management considers it unlikely that further carried interest will be provided by the CapMan Real Estate I fund. As a result, the fund is no longer included in the category of funds in carry. A total of some MEUR 6 of carried interest was not entered in CapMan’s profit in 2007 but held in reserve in case some carried interest might have to be returned to investors in the future.

 

APPENDIX 2: OPERATIONS OF CAPMAN’S FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT, 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2011

During the review period, the operations of private equity funds managed by CapMan comprised direct investments in portfolio companies in the Nordic countries and Russia (CapMan Private Equity), as well as real estate investments (CapMan Real Estate). Investments by CapMan funds investing in portfolio companies focus on two key investment areas in the Nordic countries and on one investment area in Russia. The investment areas are mid-size buyouts (CapMan Buyout), investments in mid-sized companies operating in Russia (CapMan Russia), and significant minority shareholdings in listed small and mid-cap companies (CapMan Public Market). The investment focus of CapMan’s real estate funds is on real estate properties, principally in Finland. CapMan also has two other investment areas (CapMan Technology and CapMan Life Science), which do not make new investments, but focus instead on developing the value of their existing portfolio companies. These two investments areas are reported under “Other” in Private Equity.

CAPMAN PRIVATE EQUITY

Investments in portfolio companies in January-June 2011

CapMan funds made five new investments, as well as some add-on investments, during the review period, investing MEUR 88.9 in all. Add-on investments accounted for under 20% of the total. New investments were made in B&B Tools AB, Design-Talo Oy, Eastway Oy, and Virial, as well as an investment by CapMan’s Public Market fund that has not yet been disclosed. During the first half of 2010, funds made six new investments and several add-on investments totalling MEUR 107.1.

Exits from portfolio companies in January-June 2011

CapMan funds exited completely from 11 companies during the first half of 2011. Final exits were made from Aerocrine AB, Affecto Plc, EM4 Inc, Fastrax Oy, Jolife AB, Moventas Oy, OneMed Group, Proxima Intressenter AB, Region Avia, SaaSplaza B.V, and SMEF Group A/S. Partial exits were made from Cardinal Foods Oy, Ordyhna Holding, and Å&R Carton AB. Exits made during the first half had a combined acquisition cost of MEUR 163.9. During the first half of 2010, complete exits were made from eight companies and partial exits from two, with a combined acquisition cost of MEUR 73.1.

Other events during the review period

An investment by CapMan Buyout IX funds in Solera AS and a final exit by CapMan-managed funds from Å&R Carton AB were announced during the review period. Both transactions are expected to be closed during the third quarter of the year.

Events after the close of the review period

During the first half of 2010, funds made one new investment and various add-on investments totalling MEUR 16.4. Commitments to finance new projects totalled MEUR 29.0 as of 30 June 2011.
