Freienbach, 31 March 2015

shaPE today announced the sale of the following seven partnership interests: Bain Capital Fund IX, Bain Capital Fund VIII-E, Exponent Private Equity Partners, Exponent Private Equity Partners II, Sovereign Capital II, Sun Capital V, The Lightyear Fund II. While five funds have closed and proceeds have been received, two funds (Bain Capital Fund VIII-E and Bain Capital Fund IX) will close per end of June. The sale represents a further significant milestone within shaPE's realisation strategy. Also since the transaction was done at a small discount to the latest available valuations the impact on the net asset value remains moderate. The valuation of investments in the annual report 2014 reflects the sales price of the sold funds.

The annual report 2014 will be published on 7 April 2015. End of ad hoc announcement
