REVIEW OF VALUE REALISATION OPTIONS FOR STAKE IN DP EURASIA N.V.

 

TPEF II L.P., the private equity fund, announces its decision to consider value realisation options for Fides Food Systems Coöperatief U.A. ("Fides"), which holds its remaining equity investment in DP Eurasia N.V. ("DP Eurasia").  Fides has been invested in DP Eurasia since 2010.

 

DP Eurasia is the exclusive master franchisee of Domino's Pizza Inc. in Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and is admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange.

 

Following the listing of DP Eurasia in July 2017, Fides sold shares representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of DP Eurasia in an accelerated bookbuild offering in February 2019 and currently holds shares representing 32.8% of the issued share capital.

 

The options currently being considered include a managed sale of up to 29.9% of the issued share capital in DP Eurasia through a sale of Fides.  The evaluation of options is at a preliminary stage and there can be no certainty as to the nature or structure of any transaction (including the number of shares that may be sold) or that any transaction will take place.
