PERFORMANCE
NET ASSET VALUE
The NAV comprises total assets less total liabilities, and equates to total equity under International Financial Reporting Standards. The increase in the NAV of € 375 million during the quarter reflects dividends received and receivable from British American Tobacco p.l.c. ('BAT') together with increases in the estimated fair value of certain investments including BAT, other listed investments, Pension Insurance Corporation Group Limited, Trilantic Capital Partners, TruArc Partners, Prescient China funds, Asia Partners and Diamond interests. Offsetting these increases are decreases in the fair value of NanoDimension funds. Details of the 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, offset by the weakening of the South African rand against the euro has resulted in an overall increase in the value of certain assets and liabilities in euro terms. Applying current period-end exchange rates to the September 2021 assets and liabilities would have resulted in an increase in the September 2021 NAV of some € 105 million.
SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME
During the period, the Company did not enter into new share buyback programmes and as a result there was no share buyback programme in progress at 31 December 2021.
The Company has repurchased 11 651 395 ordinary shares between November 2018 and November 2019 under four share buyback programmes. The cost of the ordinary shares repurchased amounts to € 173 million, plus transaction costs.
Details of each completed share buyback programme to date can be found in note 7 of the Reinet 2021 interim report.
All ordinary shares repurchased are held as treasury shares.
NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE
The NAV per share is calculated by dividing the NAV by the number of shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) of 184 290 891.
SHARE PRICE
The Company's indicative share price as quoted on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange increased by 0.6 per cent in the quarter from € 16.20 at 30 September 2021 to € 16.30 at 31 December 2021, with the highest trade being at € 17.00 during the quarter. The total shareholder return since inception (taking into account the initial price of € 7.1945 and including dividends paid) is 7.3 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 ('JSE'); the listing on the JSE is a secondary listing.
Share prices as at 31 December 2021 and 30 September 2021 were as follows:
31 December 2021 | 30 September 2021 | |||
ZAR | EUR | ZAR | EUR | |
Luxembourg | - | 16.30 | - | 16.20 |
Euronext | - | 16.10 | - | 16.30 |
Johannesburg | 286.03 | - | 283.12 | - |
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.
Reinet recognises that the long-term financial impact of COVID-19 may still be unknown. However, it continues to value its investments in line with 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 and discussions have taken place with fund managers to determine any significant changes in value and any impacts related to COVID-19. Future valuations will take into account any new impacts of COVID-19 which could affect the valuation of underlying unlisted 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 € 3.3 billion and at 31 December 2021 committed to provide further funding of € 497 million to its current investments. New commitments during the quarter under review amounted to € 41 million, and a total of € 76 million was funded during the quarter.
Major items impacting the NAV, significant changes in carrying value and new investments during the quarter under review are described below.
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.
During the quarter under review, dividend income recorded from BAT amounted to € 61 million (£ 52 million), being BAT's third 2021 interim dividend of € 30 million (£ 26 million), received in November 2021 together with the fourth interim dividend of some € 31 million (£ 26 million) with a record date of 24 December 2021. The fourth interim dividend will be paid on 9 February 2022 and has been included as a receivable in the NAV as at 31 December 2021.
Reinet holds 48.3 million shares in BAT, representing some 2.11 per cent of BAT's issued share capital. The value of Reinet's investment in BAT amounted to € 1 570 million at 31 December 2021, being some 30.4 per cent of the NAV (30 September 2021: € 1 464 million). The BAT share price on the London Stock Exchange increased from £ 26.04 at 30 September 2021 to £ 27.31 at 31 December 2021, together with the effect of sterling strengthening against the euro in the quarter resulting in a total increase in value of € 106 million.
Further information on BAT is available at www.bat.com/annualreport.
OTHER LISTED INVESTMENTS

Twist Bioscience Corporation
Reinet holds 444 497 shares in Twist Bioscience Corporation with a market value of € 30 million (30 September 2021:
- 41 million). The decrease in value reflects the decrease in the share price during the quarter offset by the strengthening of the US dollar against the euro in the quarter.
Further information on Twist is available at www.twistbioscience.com.
Grab Holdings Limited
In December 2021, Grab Holdings Inc. merged with Altimeter Growth Corp, a NASDAQ listed special-purpose acquisition company launched by Altimeter Capital, a US investment firm, and following this merger (business combination) Reinet received Class A Ordinary Shares of Grab Holdings Limited ('Grab'). As a consequence, shares in Grab now trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol 'GRAB'.
Following the merger, Reinet reclassified its previously unlisted holding in Grab from 'Asian private equity companies and portfolio funds' to 'other listed investments'.
In July 2018, Reinet invested € 43 million ($ 50 million) in Grab. As at 31 December 2021, Reinet holds 10 573 666 shares with a market value of € 66 million ($ 75 million) (30 September 2021: € 43 million).
