6-month report
24.08.2009
shaPE Capital AG reports a comprehensive loss of CHF 28.2 million for the first half-year 2009. As per 30 June 2009, the unaudited net asset value per share was CHF 171.42, down 11.2 percent year to date. The decrease mainly relates to the write-down incurred through the sale of 15 partnership interests, which was successfully completed on 30 June 2009. The sale significantly improved the liquidity situation of the Company, as well as the ratio of open commitments to NAV. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company is in a sound and comfortable position today and now regards it as the foremost imperative to unlock the hidden value in the existing portfolio by reducing the gap between NAV and share price.
