Link Financial Group Appoints Lindsay Town as Non-Executive Director

LONDON, October 12, 2010 - Link Financial Group ("Link"), the leading European
receivables management company, today announces the expansion of its Board
through the appointment of Lindsay Town as a non-executive Director.

Lindsay has more than 30 years' experience in the world of
banking and, in particular, the motor financing and leasing market which is
one of Link's areas of strength. He held senior positions at Lloyds Leasing
and PricewaterhouseCoopers prior to joining Halifax plc to lead their asset
finance business which developed into a divisional board level role within
the combined HBOS group. His responsibilities included the acquisition and
integration of the Lex and the Hill Hire rental businesses which represented
GBP12bn of assets and over 2,750 employees. In April 2009, Lindsay retired
from HBOS and established a specialist consulting business focusing primarily
on portfolios and businesses within the asset finance industry.

Lindsay was also previously a board member of the Finance &
Leasing Association and is a Fellow of the Institute of Bankers in Scotland
as well as being a regular public speaker and commentator on industry
matters.

Philippe Paillart, Chairman of Link Financial Group,
commented: "I am absolutely delighted that Lindsay is joining our team at
Link. His extensive experience, both in the UK and cross border debt and
leasing markets, will be a valuable asset to the Group as we look to build on
our leading positions in the European debt purchase and servicing markets."

Paul Burdell, CEO of Link Financial Group, added: "Lindsay is
one of the most experienced figures in the auto and asset finance area, so I
look forward to working alongside him, and to seeing the company benefit from
the additional complementary skills and knowledge he will bring to the Board
on both operational and business development fronts."

Lindsay commented on his appointment: "I am very pleased to be
joining Link. I have been impressed by the progress the company has achieved
to date and I look forward to helping the management team to achieve their
ambitious plans for the future."
