AIK: Portfolio Acquisition In Spain

Oslo, Norway, Dec 14, 2007 - (Hugin via ABN Newswire) - Aktiv Kapital is pleased to announce that we have completed a transaction in Spain whereby Aktiv Kapital has acquired approximately 800 000 non-performing customer accounts with a face value of NOK 1 600 million from the Telefonica Group. In conjunction with the purchase of this large portfolio, Aktiv Kapital will in January 2008 open a call centre in Barcelona, and we have employed more than 60 experienced financial advisors for this site.

The portfolio consists of telephone claims, and Aktiv Kapital foresees a more rapid recovery process for telephone claims than for bank claims.

Including this acquisition, Aktiv Kapital has so far this year to date purchased portfolios with a total acquisition price of NOK 1 001 million.

Aktiv Kapital has submitted offers for other portfolios to be acquired by year end.
