CANDOVER INVESTMENTS

Candover Investments plc is a private equity investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange. Candover does not make new investments; our focus is on realising value. Our portfolio currently comprises investments in 4 privately owned European businesses, acquired by investing alongside funds managed by Arle Capital Partners, an independent private equity partnership. Arle is the investment manager of the Candover 2001, 2005 and 2008 Funds. Our sole objective is to optimise the long term value of that portfolio for our shareholders. This will be achieved via a progressive return of cash over time as the portfolio businesses are sold by Arle.
