Realisation Within the Ordinary Share Pool - Bartec
On 17 July 2012 Capvis, the Swiss based mid-market private
equity firm, announced the sale of its majority stake in German
explosion protection equipment company, Bartec, to Charterhouse.
F&C Private Equity Trust plc ('the Company') holds Bartec as a
co-investment and also through its investment in Capvis Fund III.
The Company invested GBP2.5 million in Bartec in August 2008.
The combined proceeds to the Company, expected to be received on
completion in August or September, will be GBP7.5 million (based on
current exchange rates). This is GBP2.7 million or 57% above our
most recent valuation as at 31 March 2012. During Capvis' tenure,
Bartec has almost doubled its profits and the company has enhanced
its product range and extended its international footprint. This is
another excellent demonstration of the resilience of the European
mid-market and of our investment partners' ability to add value
against a generally challenging economic background.
