-
Following the issuance of the 31 December 2017 audited financials, the 31 January 2018 monthly NAV estimate was re-stated from the originally issued $16.63 per Share to $17.29 per Share, due to the incorporation of additional valuation information received during the year end process
-
28 February 2018 NAV per Share of $17.14 (£12.46) decreased $0.15 (£0.28) from $17.29 (£12.18) re-stated NAV per Share at 31 January 2018. The 28 February 2018 monthly NAV estimate incorporates the same private valuations as the 31 January 2018 restated NAV; therefore differences during the month of February are attributable to public stock price changes, FX changes, accrued cash and PIK interest and expenses
-
$7.0 million of other unrealised losses, or $0.14 per share, attributable to public securities, mark-to-market gains and realised adjustments
-
$1.3 million of accrued cash and PIK interest from the income investment portfolio, or $0.03 per share
-
$1.5 million decrease in NAV attributable to value changes to other assets and liabilities during the month
