Ad hoc Press release


Zug, October 11, 2016

Sale of significant portfolio holding

Private Equity Holding AG (PEH) informs that Doughty Hanson announced that it agreed to sell LM Wind Power, a leading manufacturer of rotor blades used in wind turbines, to GE*. LM Wind Power is the last remaining asset in Doughty Hanson & Co. III and PEH's largest investment on a look-trough basis.

The sale of LM Wind Power is noteworthy for PEH for several reasons: It will have a positive effect on PEH's NAV per share; PEH will benefit from a significant inflow of liquidity; and the risk diversification of PEH's portfolio will improve by removing the largest exposure.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2017 subject to regulatory approval.
