AP Alternative Assets Releases Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
AP Alternative Assets, L.P. (“AAA”, Euronext Amsterdam: AAA) today released its financial results for three months ended June 30, 2019. AAA invests its capital through, and is the sole limited partner of, AAA Investments, L.P., which is referred to as the “Investment Partnership.”

Highlights

• Net asset value at June 30, 2019 was $21.0 million, or $0.28 per unit, reflecting a net decrease in net assets of approximately $(0.1) million, or $(0.00) per common unit during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net asset value for AAA was due to a decrease in net assets from operations.

Net Asset Value for AAA

At June 30, 2019, AAA had net assets of $21.0 million, including its share of the net assets of the Investment Partnership, as follows:

(in $ millions, except per unit amounts)		Net Asset Value as of June 30, 2019
Gross Asset Value:
Cash	$	1.00
Investment in Athene		26.1
Other		(6.1)
Net Asset Value(1)	$	21.0
Net Asset Value per Unit(1)	$	0.28
Net Common Units Outstanding		76,328,950

(1) The remaining Athene shares beneficially held by AAA are freely tradeable and are being held to satisfy various legal, administrative, carried interest obligations and other expenses that may be incurred by or on behalf of AAA. The net asset value does not include the accrual of these future expenses that may be incurred by AAA as they cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. If it is determined that any such Athene shares are no longer required for such expenses, the remaining Athene shares or cash equivalents will be distributed to AAA unitholders unless the number of such Athene shares or cash equivalents is de minimis, in which case they will be given to charity. The net asset value also includes $5.1 million of prepaid management fees that will continue to be amortized over the life of the service period through December 31, 2020. If a decision is made to wind up AAA prior to the end of the service period, AAA will accelerate the amortization of the prepaid management fee.
