Neuberger Private Equity Partners Completes Share Buyback

Neuberger Private Equity Partners Limited (NBPE) has completed a share buyback transaction, reducing its outstanding shares and signaling a strategic move to optimize its capital structure.

On September 8, 2026, NBPE announced the repurchase of 1,124,301 Class A Shares on the London Stock Exchange. These shares were bought back in accordance with a general authority granted by shareholders and a share buy-back agreement with Jefferies International Limited. Following the cancellation of these shares, the number of outstanding Class A Shares now stands at 39,025,864. Additionally, the company still holds 3,150,408 Class A shares in treasury.

For reporting purposes under the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the market should use the figure of 39,025,864 voting rights when determining if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company.

Neuberger Private Equity Partners Limited, an employee-owned, private, independent investment manager founded in 1939, has approximately 3,000 employees across 26 countries. The firm manages $567 billion of equities, fixed income, private markets, real estate, and hedge fund portfolios for global institutions, advisors, and individuals. The company's investment philosophy is centered on active management, fundamental research, and engaged ownership.

NBPE's primary investment strategy involves direct private equity investments alongside market-leading private equity firms globally. The vast majority of these direct investments are made with no management fee or carried interest payable to third-party general partners (GPs), offering greater fee efficiency than other listed private equity companies. Through this approach, NBPE aims to achieve capital appreciation through growth in net asset value over time, while also paying a bi-annual dividend.

This transaction is part of NBPE's ongoing efforts to maintain its capital structure and align with shareholder interests. The company has received the necessary consent from the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and operates as a closed-end investment company domiciled in Guernsey. The firm continues to emphasize its commitment to its two constituents: clients and employees, as evidenced by recent recognition for being named the Best Asset Manager for Institutional Investors in the US (Crisil Coalition Greenwich) and the #1 Best Place to Work in Money Management (Pensions & Investments, firms with more than 1,000 employees).

The transaction is intended to streamline the company's capital structure and potentially enhance shareholder value. Neuberger Private Equity Partners Limited will continue to focus on its core investment strategy and maintaining its position as a leading independent investment manager.
