UN Principles for Responsible Investment

In March 2009, Cinven became a signatory of the United Nations' Principles for Responsible Investment (http://www.unpri.org). The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) provide a voluntary framework that helps investment managers to incorporate environmental, social and corporate governance issues into their investment decision-making and ownership practices, with the aim of positively affecting investment performance.

Cinven has a sophisticated global investor base. More and more, the firm's clients are considering the environmental, social and corporate governance impact of their investments. As a signatory of the PRI, Cinven's aim is to address these issues proactively.

1. We will incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
2. We will be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and practices.
3. We will seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the entities in which we invest.
4. We will promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles within the investment industry.
5. We will work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.
6. We will each report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.
