Ryan Continues International Expansion with Acquisition of Netherlands-based Franke & Den Breems.

DALLAS, June 7, 2011 -

Ryan, a leading global tax services firm with the largest indirect tax
practice in North America, today announced the Firm's continued international
expansion with the acquisition of Franke & Den Breems, a respected Dutch tax
law firm specializing in value-added tax (VAT) and real estate transfer tax
advisory services. Ryan's Netherlands operations will be based in Alkmaar and
Amsterdam, and will provide local expertise for companies in the Netherlands,
as well as additional support for the Firm's portfolio of multinational
clients operating all across Europe.

The team of professionals, based in the Netherlands, will work together
with Ryan's United Kingdom team to provide companies in the Netherlands and
Europe a comprehensive suite of VAT advisory, VAT recovery, VAT compliance,
tax automation, tax control framework, and real estate transfer tax services
unique to the European VAT system. The Netherlands operation is already
supporting a number of premier companies and plans to further acquire premier
Dutch tax talent to support its existing clients, as well as the new global
clients introduced through Ryan's extensive international network.

"Our clients in the Netherlands will maintain the detailed local
knowledge they have come to expect from the existing Franke & Den Breems
management team and staff," said Rick Franke, Suzanne C. den Breems, and
Joyce N. Zijlstra, Ryan Principals and former partners of Franke & Den
Breems. "They will also greatly benefit from Ryan's wealth of additional
international VAT consultancy services enriched with innovative tax
technology solutions and an international team of European tax experts."

"Ryan already provides tax services to many of the world's leading global
companies," said Brendan F. Moore, Ryan Vice Chairman of Global VAT. "The
trust that Ryan has earned by delivering superior results for these
multinational clients has played a major role in supporting our international
expansion in the Netherlands."

"The opening of our Netherlands operation is another important milestone
in our strategic growth plan for capturing additional market share through
international expansion," said G. Brint Ryan, CEO and Managing Principal of
Ryan. "We will continue to build new operations in those countries where our
premier global clients operate and acquire the most seasoned international
tax talent to best serve their needs."
