(Oslo, April 30, 2010) Aktiv Kapital has signed a portfolio purchase with a face
value in excess of £75 million.

Aktiv Kapital signed 29 April a contract with a major financial institution in
UK acquiring a non-performing loans portfolio. The portfolio consists of approx.
16 000 credit card and loan accounts. The major part of the portfolio will be
serviced from Aktiv Kapital's operation in Bromley, outside London.

"We have recently been selective in our acquisitions when buying non-performing
loans. We appreciate that price expectations now are more in line with the
underlying value of the portfolio. Previously we have stated that portfolio
prices have been at unrealistic levels, and this transaction confirms for us
that the market has reached sustainable levels. This acquisition is in line with
our strategic focus and we look forward making this portfolio a success for both
Aktiv Kapital and for our customers", says Erik Oyno, President & CEO of Aktiv
Kapital.
