Conversus Announces Appointment of Liquidators and Resignation of Directors

Conversus Capital, L.P. (NYSE Euronext Amsterdam: CCAP) ("Conversus") has appointed Nicholas John Vermeulen and Evelyn Brady, partners with PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP, as the joint liquidators for Conversus, its general partner Conversus GP, Limited and Conversus’ remaining entities, effective immediately.

Conversus Board members Laurance Hoagland, Kathryn Matthews and Dr. Per Strömberg, as well as Conversus’ Chief Executive Officer, Tim Smith, resigned their positions in conjunction with the appointment of the joint liquidators. Paul Guilbert will remain as a Board member until the final liquidation of Conversus.

In conjunction with the completion of a liquidation period, which is expected to last up to twelve months, Conversus will make a final distribution to its unit holders in accordance with Guernsey law. While no assurances can be given as to the amount and timing of unit holder distributions, Conversus does not expect additional distributions to be made prior to the final distribution. Euronext Amsterdam has determined that Conversus’ units will be delisted from NYSE Euronext in Amsterdam, the regulated market of Euronext Amsterdam, in conjunction with the final unit holder distribution. Following the completion of the liquidation, Conversus will cease to exist.

It is anticipated that Conversus’ regulatory approval to operate as an authorized closed-ended collective investment scheme in Guernsey will be suspended during the liquidation period and that it will cease to be registered as a collective investment scheme permitted to offer participation rights in the Netherlands pursuant to article 2:66 of the Financial Market Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht).
