THIS IS INFORMATION THAT EQT AB (PUBL) IS OBLIGED TO MAKE PUBLIC PURSUANT TO THE EU MARKET ABUSE REGULATION. THE INFORMATION WAS SUBMITTED FOR PUBLICATION, THROUGH THE AGENCY OF THE CONTACT PERSON SET OUT BELOW AT 19:15 CET ON 18 JANUARY 2022.

EQT has today set the target size for the EQT X fund at EUR 20 billion. The actual fund size is dependent on the outcome of the fundraising process and may ultimately be higher or lower than the target size. The EQT X fund’s investment strategy and commercial terms are expected to be materially in line with predecessor fund EQT IX.

To ensure continuity between two fund generations, EQT’s capital raisings usually follow a cycle with successor funds generally targeted to be in a position to commence investment activities when the predecessor fund is close to being fully invested. This means that the commitment period of the predecessor fund typically ends when approximately 80 to 90 percent of its total commitments are invested, with remaining commitments used primarily for add-on acquisitions and strategic capital injections as well as for ongoing expenses.

Management fees for the successor fund will be charged from the earlier of (i) the date of closing of the first investment by the successor fund; or (ii) the date of termination of the commitment period of the predecessor fund. Management fees on the predecessor fund are thereafter based on net invested capital.
