1 PRESS RELEASE Leuven / 28 April 2016 / 5.40 PM Regulated information. This press release contains information subject to the transparency requirements imposed on listed companies. QUEST FOR GROWTH Interim financial report January March 2016 Schedule for publication: 28 April PM Press release available at 29 April AM Press & Analyst meeting, Capricorn Venture Partners NV, Lei 19, 3000 Leuven INTERIM REPORT Results In the first quarter of 2016, the return on equity amounted to % (in relation to the intrinsic value after profit distribution at the end of the previous financial year). The intrinsic value per Share fell to EUR 9.21 compared to EUR 9.54 (after profit distribution) on 31 December Quest for Growth had a negative result of EUR 3.9 million (EUR per share) in the first quarter. De share price amounted to EUR at the end of the first quarter, compared to EUR at the end of last year. On 23 March 2016, a dividend in a gross amount of EUR 2.73 per share or a net amount of EUR 2.70 per share was distributed. Taking into account the dividend, the performance of the Share during the last quarter amounted to about 17%. Market environment The European stock markets have started the year in a gloomy atmosphere, with a decrease of almost 8% for the Stoxx Europe 600 index. Small caps performed a little better with a decrease of about 6% for the Stoxx Europe Small 200 index. The American stock markets recorded limited profits, but the dollar decreased by about 5% in relation to the euro. The negative atmosphere on the stock markets also leaded to less activity related to IPO s. Investments in listed companies The portfolio of listed shares could not escape the correction on the stock markets and performed in line with the European stock market indices. Stock in the portfolio that performed well are, i.a. Umicore (+13%), Pharmagest (+12%) and Zetes (+5%). The stock price decreases of CFE (-24%) and Nexus (-13%) mostly affected performance. During the first quarter, the portfolio of listed shares was further reduced in the view of the distribution of the dividend at the end of the quarter. Two shares were removed completely out of the portfolio, i.e. Init and Nibe. A clear capital gain was realized on both shares, compared to the initial purchase price. Investments in unlisted companies In the framework of its non-listed investments, Quest for Growth participated in the capital increase of Avantium at the end of March. The Dutch producer of environment-friendly bottles for soda recently appeared in the media pursuant to the cooperation agreement it entered into with BASF in respect of the further commercialization of the PEF bottles. The proceeds of the capital increase will be applied in first place to finance a plant in Antwerp. Investments in venture capital funds In respect of the venture capital funds, the successful sale of Punch Powertrain, a holding company of the Capricorn Cleantech Fund, especially had a positive impact. The Limburg based producer of automatic gearboxes was sold for about 1 billion to a Chinese investor and therefore entailed a capital gain of more than 17 times the invested amount for the Capricorn Cleantech Fund. The impact on Quest for Growth was however far more modest, as it only holds a small share in the Capricorn Cleantech Fund. On the other hand, the negative outcome of clinical trials at Nexstim led to a decrease of the valuation of the Capricorn Health-tech Fund. Immediately after the announcement of the trial results, the stock price of Nexstim fell by about 70%. During the first quarter, the Capricorn ICT Arkiv invested in the Belgian-Dutch start-up Bluebee, which succeeds in carrying out DNA-analyses in two days time, where in the past, this used to be two weeks. Bluebee has found a way to run complex algorithms faster, more accurate and cheaper. Prospects The outlook for the stock markets remains to a large extent unchanged compared to the beginning of this year. Recent economic figures in Europe and the United States give a mixed image, with uncertainty remaining as to the economic situation in growth countries. The European stock markets now list at an expected price-earnings ratio of about 15 (STOXX Europe 600 index). Sectors in which Quest for Growth invests traditionally, such as technology and health, are relatively expensive and certain sub-sectors show extreme valuations. In the portfolio, the aim is to avoid over-valuated shares. Given the low interest rates, shares remain relatively attractive compared to other types of investments. Capital increase As mentioned before, Quest for Growth will organise a capital increase in cash in the second quarter of The extraordinary general meeting of March 17th approved the issuance of 3,843,316 new ordinary shares. The issue price and further details will become public after approval of the FSMA and before the start of the transaction in the prospectus.
