Important Information

Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future and that the value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up. Exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down as well as up. Where investment is made in emerging markets, their potential volatility may increase the risk to the value of, and the income from, the shares. The principal investments held by Electra are private equity investments, property and private equity funds which are illiquid assets, which can be more volatile than investments in more established companies. Above average share price movements can be expected.

As part of its investment strategy, Electra may from time to time borrow money (known as gearing) to finance the purchase of investments for its portfolio. In addition, Electra's underlying investments may themselves be heavily geared which may mean that the valuation of these investments will therefore be affected by the level of interest rates and by the level of equity markets The level of gearing of Electra itself and by its underlying investments may, depending on the sums involved, have a significant impact on the value of Electra's shares, such that you may not get back the amount you originally invested. The share price of Electra may trade at a discount to the underlying net asset value of the shares. No information contained in this publication shall form the basis of, or be relied upon in connection with, any offer or commitment whatsoever in any jurisdiction. Nothing in this publication constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy any securities of Electra Private Equity PLC in the United States or any other jurisdiction. We do not offer investment advice. If you are unsure of the meaning of the above information, you should consult your own independent financial advisor.
