This final amendment relates to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Statement") originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2022, by Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC (the "Fund") in connection with an offer (the "Offer") by the Fund to purchase limited liability company Units ("Units") in the Fund in an aggregate amount up to $511,800,000 on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal were previously filed as Exhibits B and C to the Statement on January 27, 2022.
This is the final amendment to the Statement and is being filed to report the results of the Offer. The following information is furnished pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(4):
1. Holders of Units in the Fund ("Members") that desired to tender Units, or a portion thereof, for purchase were required to submit their tenders by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, February 24, 2022.
2. As of February 24, 2022, three hundred and ninety two (392) Members validly tendered Units and did not withdraw such tenders prior to the expiration of the Offer. The validly tendered Units were accepted for purchase by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
3. The net asset value of the Units tendered pursuant to the Offer was calculated as of March 31, 2022 in the amount of $87,726,577.88.
4. The payment of the purchase price of the Interests or portions of Interests tendered was made in the form of promissory notes issued to each of the Members whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The promissory notes were held by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's administrator, on behalf of such Members, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Two hundred and sixty six (266) Members, whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund, did not tender their entire Interests in the Fund; therefore, pursuant to the promissory notes issued to the Members, the Fund paid the Members 100% of the Members’ unaudited net asset value of the Interests tendered. Cash payments in the amount of the unaudited net asset value of the Interests tendered were wired to the accounts designated by such Members. One hundred and twenty six (126) Members, whose tenders were accepted for purchase by the Fund, tendered their entire Interests in the Fund; therefore, pursuant to the promissory notes issued to the Members, the Fund paid the Members at least 95% of the Members’ unaudited net asset value of the Interests tendered (the "Initial Payment"). The Fund will pay the Members a contingent payment (the "Post-Audit Payment") equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the net asset value of the Interests tendered and purchased as of March 31, 2022 over (2) the Initial Payment. The Post-Audit Payment will be paid promptly after the completion of the Fund's next annual audit. Initial Payments in the amount of at least 95% of the Members’ unaudited net asset value of the Interests tendered were wired to the accounts designated by such Members.
