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.
