CapMan exits Drobe

Funds managed by CapMan have sold their holding in Lithuanian Drobe Wool Company to Plaza Corporation, a Lithuanian industrial development company. Drobe is one of the largest textile producers in the Baltic states. The exit does not have impact on CapMan Plc’s result for 2006, as the exiting funds have not begun to generate carry. The exit also does not have impact on earlier estimates for the transfer of the funds to carry.
