Link Financial Group Appoints Marco Angheben as Project Director

LONDON, September 2, 2010 - Link Financial Group ("Link"), the leading European
receivables management company, is today pleased to announce the appointment
of Marco Angheben as Project Director in its expanding advisory team.

Marco has 10 years' experience in the financial and regulatory
world with a specific focus on structured finance. He previously was Director
at the Association for Financial Markets in Europe in the European
Securitisation Forum division dealing with central banks, security regulators
and policy makers from across Europe. He has been at the forefront of various
industry transparency initiatives creating reporting standards and increasing
data availability. He has also been actively engaged in a number of expert
groups working towards improving consistency for structured finance
transactions and a speaker at many industry events and workshops.

Marco will initially be working on the ABS loan level data
project to assist the European Central Bank (ECB) in developing a data
handling infrastructure and delivering detailed loan level reporting
templates across asset classes. These are some of the initiatives that are
aimed at restoring confidence in the European financial markets by providing
market participants with greater transparency which in turn will improve
their overall risk controls.

Philippe Paillart, Chairman of Link Financial Group,
commented, "We are seeing increasing demand for the services of our advisory
division from clients in areas ranging from our core business in NPLs right
across the wider consumer and commercial loan markets. Marco provides a huge
boost to the expertise in our practice advising governments and regulatory
agencies in the UK and the other major EU economies."

Paul Burdell, CEO of Link, added: "Marco has a wealth of
experience in dealing with market practice, legal and regulatory matters in
structured finance, and I am very pleased to be working alongside him. Link
will benefit from the additional complementary skills and knowledge he will
bring on both operational and business development fronts, particularly in
the German, Irish, Italian and Spanish markets where Link is currently
operating."

Marco commented on his appointment: "I am very pleased to be
joining Link and working with Paul, particularly in assisting the ECB on this
fundamentally important and groundbreaking new project."
