Reinet Investments S.C.A. Annual Report and Accounts 2010
The combined effect of the two transactions implemented to date is to reduce Reinet's remaining
commitment to Trilantic by 10 per cent from
170 million to 153 million and to reduce
Reinet's share of the carried interest attributable to the management company on the realisation
of investments from 15 per cent to 11.25 per cent. The transaction that is to be completed
during the year ahead will reduce Reinet's commitment to Trilantic by a further 15 per cent.
Reinet's direct share of the carried interest attributable to the management company on the
realisation of investments will therefore be reduced from 11.25 per cent to 9.375 per cent.
Up to 31 March 2010, Reinet Fund and its minority partner had invested the equivalent
of
7.6 million in the initial Trilantic management company investment, 2.1 million to
acquire an interest in Trilantic Fund IV Europe and a further
12 million in the funds under
Trilantic management. The investment in Trilantic is carried at the estimated fair value of
29 million at 31 March 2010, based on valuations prepared by Trilantic. Accordingly,
of the year-end valuation of
29 million, some 3 million is attributable to the minority
partner, being shown as
2 million in respect of minority interest and 1 million under
other liabilities.
At 31 March 2010, Reinet Fund had remaining commitments of
153 million, being
US$ 106 million and
75 million to invest in these funds, after taking into account the
amounts payable by the existing minority partner.
UNITED STATES LAND DEVELOPMENT AND MORTGAGES
Amount committed:
74 million
During the year under review, Reinet invested
25 million in property-related investments
located mainly in Florida and North and South Carolina. This was principally mortgage debt
in respect of land held for future development. The debts were acquired from local lenders
at substantial discounts to nominal value, reflecting the depressed economic situation in the
United States and the risk that the development companies may not be able to meet their
obligations. Alongside its partners, Reinet is committed to invest a further
49 million in
total to acquire further mortgage debt and to fund development projects. Reinet is working
closely with its partners and co-investors in the United States, who have considerable
experience in managing such projects, recognising that this is an area where industry
knowledge is critical to making the right investment decisions.
VANTERRA FLEX INVESTMENTS L.P.
Amount committed:
74 million
In March 2010, Reinet entered into an agreement with Vanterra Flex Investments L.P.
(`Vanterra'), a newly created fund which was established for the purpose of investing in
other listed and unlisted funds and direct investments in the United States and emerging
markets. Reinet's commitment is to invest up to US$ 100 million over the life of the fund.
As at 31 March 2010, no capital contributions had been made to the fund in respect of
this commitment, however, in April 2010, capital contributions totalling US$ 5 million
were made.
Vanterra will seek to construct a globally diversified private equity portfolio, providing
investors with long-term capital appreciation through private equity funds investments
and direct investments.
