Pantheon International PLC (LSE:PIN, FRA:PAA0) chair Tony Morgan tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company has completed a £224 million secondary portfolio sale and will use at least 80% of the proceeds - around £180 million - for share buybacks.
The numbers are striking: "Since 2022, PIN has returned over £350 million to shareholders and, following the completion of the buyback we've announced today, we expect this to exceed well over £500 million."
The sale is part of a strategic refocus around roughly 25 high-conviction private equity managers, down from around 90. The number of managers has already fallen to 62, with the portfolio sale completed at a blended discount to NAV of just over 8%.
