Conversus to Acquire Significant Secondary Portfolio



    Conversus Capital, L.P. (Euronext Amsterdam:CCAP) ("Conversus")
    announced that it, along with four other members of a syndicate, has
    entered into a binding agreement with the California Public Employees´
    Retirement System ("CalPERS") to acquire an attractive portfolio of
    private equity funds. The portion of the portfolio acquired by
    Conversus has a net asset value of approximately $189 million and
    unfunded commitments of approximately $25 million, both as of June 30,
    2007.

    "This is an important transaction for us and we are extremely
    pleased to be working with CalPERS on this mutually beneficial
    transaction to execute on a fundamental part of our business strategy.
    By working in partnership with a syndicate of four additional active
    secondary buyers including Oak Hill Investment Management, L.P. ("Oak
    Hill"), we demonstrate the depth of our relationships within the
    industry, and of our ability to source, negotiate and acquire a
    high-quality secondary portfolio on attractive terms," said Bob Long,
    President and CEO of Conversus Asset Management, LLC. "This
    acquisition maintains the vintage diversification of our portfolio and
    significantly increases our exposure to special situation and venture
    assets, in line with our stated portfolio composition goals."

    A first closing of the acquisition is expected by the end of March
    2008, subject to completion of normal transfer and legal processes.

    The syndicate was represented by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &
    Garrison LLP. Winston & Strawn LLP served as special counsel to
    Conversus and Oak Hill.
