IP Group commits £11.8m to portfolio company's funding round

(Sharecast News) - IP Group announced its participation in a follow-on funding round for an unnamed portfolio company on Friday, expecting to realise a net fair value gain of £40m, or 4p per share. The FTSE 250 firm said it had committed $15m (£11.8m) to the funding round, subject to certain conditions, with the transaction set to conclude in mid-January.

It said the funding round had gained support from both existing and new investors.

IP Group added that it was engaged in its routine year-end review of the carrying values of all of its portfolio assets.

"While it is too early to provide guidance as to the carrying values of the group's portfolio companies, [the directors] currently anticipate that the gain relating to this investment will be offset by other fair value reductions in the portfolio," IP Group said in its statement.
