Events during the month
* On 11 June, East Capital Explorer received a pay-out of EUR 17.7m as a
consequence of the previously announced planned liquidation of East Capital
Special Opportunities Fund II. Following this pay-out, 89% of the Fund is
repaid, with the remaining part expected to be paid out during the autumn of
2014.
* 1,481,049 shares were tendered for redemption under the redemption program
that ended on 4 June, corresponding to an acceptance level of approximately
94 percent. The offer involved redemption of a maximum of every twentieth
share at SEK 83 per share (corresponding to the NAV per share on 28
February). A total of SEK 123m was thereby transferred to the company's
shareholders. All the redeemed ordinary shares were canceled in June.
* East Capital Explorer has decided to, as of July, stop publishing monthly
NAV reports in its present form, which means that this is the last published
NAV report. The decision was taken in light of the portfolio's growing share
of direct investments, the value changes of which are generally less
volatile as their valuation is based on the companies' long-term prospects.
East Capital Explorer will continue to follow up the developments of its
direct investments on an ongoing basis, and an independent external
valuation will be conducted at least once a year. The company will, however,
continue to publish the value changes of its fund holdings on a monthly
basis, as the funds' monthly NAVs are sent to their respective other
investors.
