Portfolio update
As referenced in JPEL Private Equity Limited's ("JPEL" or the "Company") audited financial statements dated 30 June 2024, the Company's subsidiary has today entered into a two year Put Option Agreement (the "Option") relating to its investment in the Tax Advisory Services company. The Option provides JPEL the right, but not the obligation, to sell its investment in the company after 24 October 2025 at the 30 June 2024 valuation. The Option is subject to customary closing conditions that, if not satisfied or waived, could result in some or all investment not being sold. The purpose of entering into the Option is to preserve the current carrying value while allowing for potential investment value upside through to 24 October 2026. In addition, if the Option is exercised in one year, the Company believes it could accelerate liquidity for its largest investment (valued at $12.8 million representing approximately 42% of the net asset value as at 30 June 2024) by up to 24 months. The Option also provides additional support for the third-party valuation used for the year end 2024 mark.

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of JPEL is Sean Hurst, Chairman.
