(‘Reinet Fund’), a specialised investment fund also incorporated in Luxembourg.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
All investments are held, either directly or indirectly, by Reinet Fund.
Information relating to current key investments AT 30 JUNE 2024
PERFORMANCE The NAV comprises total assets less total liabilities, and equates to total equity under International Financial Reporting Standards. The increase in the NAV of € 99 million during the quarter reflects increases in the estimated fair value of certain investments including British American Tobacco p.l.c. (‘BAT’), other listed investments, Trilantic Capital Partners, TruArc Partners and Coatue funds together with dividends from BAT and Pension Insurance Corporation Group Limited (‘Pension Corporation’). Offsetting these increases are decreases in the estimated fair value of certain investments including Pension Corporation and NanoDimension funds together with accrued expenses in respect of management and performance fees.
Details of the Company’s NAV and details of movements in key investments can be found on pages 2 and 3 of this report.
Reinet records its assets and liabilities in euro; the strengthening of sterling and the US Dollar against the euro during the quarter has resulted in an overall increase in the value of certain assets and liabilities in euro terms. Applying current quarter-end exchange rates to the March 2024 assets and liabilities would have resulted in an increase in the March 2024 NAV of some € 54 million.
SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME As at 30 June 2024, there was no share buyback programme in progress.
The Company repurchased 14 151 395 ordinary shares between November 2018 and May 2022 under five share buyback programmes. The cost of the ordinary shares repurchased amounted to € 222 million, plus transaction costs.
All ordinary shares repurchased are held as treasury shares.
NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE The NAV per share of the Company is calculated by dividing the NAV by the number of shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) of 181 790 891 (31 March 2024: 181 790 891).
SHARE PRICE The Company’s indicative share price as quoted on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange increased by 7.2 per cent in the quarter from € 22.20 at 31 March 2024 to € 23.80 at 30 June 2024. The total shareholder return since inception (taking into account the initial price of € 7.1945 and including dividends paid) is 8.7 per cent per annum. The growth in NAV, including dividends paid, reflects an 8.8 per cent compounded increase since March 2009. The Company’s ordinary shares are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Euronext Amsterdam and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange; the listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is a secondary listing.
Share prices as at 30 June 2024 and 31 March 2024 were as follows:
GLOBAL MARKETS BACKDROP During the quarter, geopolitical uncertainty increased with many countries calling elections and global markets continuing to be impacted by the effects of the Ukraine crisis, turmoil in the Middle East, high interest rates and inflation. Whilst Inflation and interest rates appear to have stabilised, the extent and impact of on-going world-wide factors remain uncertain.
Reinet has no direct exposure to Russia, Ukraine or the Middle East through its underlying investments or banking relationships and has not experienced any significant direct impacts in respect of interest rate fluctuations or inflation. Reinet has various banking relationships with highly rated institutions, and a well-diversified approach to cash and liquidity management.
Reinet continues to value its investments in line with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (‘IPEV’) guidelines and its approved valuation procedures and methodologies. All investment valuations have been prepared using latest available data, including exchange rates and listed share prices as at 30 June 2024. Discussions have taken place with fund managers and investee companies to determine any significant changes in value and any impacts related to the various geo-political areas of conflict, volatility in stock and currency markets, interest rates, inflation and exposure to certain financial institutions. Future valuations will take into account any new impacts of the above, which could affect the valuation of underlying investments.
INVESTMENTS Reinet seeks, through a range of investment structures, to build partnerships with other investors, specialised fund managers and entrepreneurs to find and develop opportunities for long-term value creation for its shareholders.
Since its formation in 2008, Reinet has invested some € 3.7 billion and at 30 June 2024 committed to provide further funding of € 457 million to its current investments. Commitments of € 71 million were funded during the quarter, however, no significant new commitments were made during the quarter.
LISTED INVESTMENTS
BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO P.L.C. The investment in BAT remains one of Reinet’s largest investments and is kept under constant review, considering the company’s performance, the industry outlook, cash flows from dividends, stock market performance, volatility and liquidity.
Reinet holds 48.3 million shares in BAT (31 March 2024: 48.3 million) representing some 2.17 per cent of BAT’s issued share capital as at 30 June 2024. The value of Reinet’s investment in BAT amounted to € 1 386 million at 30 June 2024 (31 March 2024: € 1 359 million), being some 22.1 per cent of Reinet’s NAV. The increase in value reflects the increase in the BAT share price on the London Stock Exchange from £ 24.06 at 31 March 2024 to £ 24.30 at 30 June 2024 together with the strengthening of sterling against the euro during the quarter.
Further information on BAT is available at www.bat.com/annualreport
OTHER LISTED INVESTMENTS Other listed investments comprised:
The increase in value mainly reflects increases in the listed share prices of Grab Holdings Limited and Twist Bioscience Corporation between 31 March 2024 and 30 June 2024, together with the strengthening of the US dollar against the euro during the quarter.
UNLISTED INVESTMENTS Unlisted investments are carried at their estimated fair value. In determining fair value, Reinet Fund Manager S.A. relies on audited and unaudited financial statements of investee companies, management reports and valuations provided by third-party experts. Valuation methodologies applied include the NAV of investment funds, discounted cash flow models and comparable valuation multiples, as appropriate.
PENSION INSURANCE CORPORATION GROUP LIMITED In the quarter ended 31 March 2024, Pension Corporation completed five new business transactions with total premiums of £ 1.5 billion for clients including De Beers and Next Group, with a further £ 1.4 billion in exclusivity which includes £ 1.2 billion in respect of the TotalEnergies UK Pension Plan announced on 3 July 2024.
In April 2024, the shareholders of Pension Corporation approved a dividend of 11.0 pence per ordinary share. Reinet’s share of the dividend amounting to some € 85 million (£ 73 million) was received in May 2024.
Reinet’s investment in Pension Corporation is carried at an estimated fair value of € 3 401 million at 30 June 2024 (31 March 2024: € 3 436 million). This value takes into account Pension Corporation’s adjusted equity own funds value at 31 December 2023 of £ 6.3 billion (no adjustment has been made for the dividend paid of £ 147 million considering the value added by the new business written in the period), corresponding valuation multiples drawn from industry data for a selected UK insurance peer group as at 30 June 2024 and a discount of 10 per cent which takes into account the illiquid nature of Reinet’s investment.
The decrease in Reinet’s estimated fair value of Pension Corporation over the quarter is mainly due to a decrease in comparable company multiples derived from public information of listed peer-group companies in the UK insurance sector between 31 March 2024 and 30 June 2024, offset by the strengthening of sterling against the euro in the quarter.
The investment in Pension Corporation represents some 54.1 per cent of Reinet’s NAV at 30 June 2024, compared to 55.6 per cent at 31 March 2024.

The estimated fair value is based on unaudited valuation data provided by Trilantic Management at 31 March 2024 adjusted for changes in the value of listed investments included in the portfolios and cash movements up to 30 June 2024.
The increase in the estimated fair value reflects increases in estimated fair values of underlying investments together with the strengthening of the US dollar against the euro during the quarter offset by net distributions of € 2 million.

A management fee of € 9 million and a performance fee of € 4 million are accrued in respect of the current quarter. The provision in respect of a potential performance fee is based on the indicative closing price of the Company’s shares of € 23.80.

The performance fee and management fee are payable to Reinet Investment Advisors Limited.
Tax provisions relate to realised and unrealised gains arising from the investments in Trilantic Capital Partners, together with withholding and corporate taxes relating to the investment in United States land development and mortgages.
