RNS Number:9932A ACP Mezzanine Ltd 27 July 2007 ACP Mezzanine agrees to participate in an asset-backed funding facility ACP Mezzanine Limited ("ACP Mezzanine" or the "Company": ACPM.LN), the sub-investment grade lender focused on European small and medium sized enterprises ("SMEs"), today announces that it has agreed in principal to participate alongside ACP Capital Limited ("ACP Capital":APL.LN) in an asset-backed funding facility for a total of Euro100 million to finance the growth of ACP Capital's strategic partner, Leasecom Group SAS, the holding company for France's leading independent IT lease broker Leasecom SAS (collectively " Leasecom"). ACP Mezzanine will provide a sub-investment grade portion of this facility, supported by an equity first loss position and secured on lease assets to be originated by Leasecom. It is expected that the facility will be increased over time as the origination capacity of Leasecom increases, and with the addition of new lending products which ACP Capital intends to develop with Leasecom. The facility is subject to ACP Mezzanine board approval and further details will be announced in due course, once the facility is closed, currently expected in September 2007. This facility is expected to be the first of many funding lines provided to finance ACP Capital's localised origination platforms. ACP Mezzanine's strategy of being a lender to the SME sector with the ability to underwrite, syndicate and hold loan assets was proved in the recently announced interim results for the six months to 30 June 2007. This transaction clearly represents the development to the next stage of growth, in which ACP Mezzanine expects to benefit from origination arising from ACP Capital's strategic platforms that will lead to greater diverse funding opportunities alongside ACP Capital in its integrated finance approach. ACP Capital is in the process of developing strategic platforms through which it intends to originate SME loans and assets in its four core markets: France, Germany, the UK and Italy. These strategic platforms involve partnering with or acquiring stakes in existing financing specialists that already have SME client bases and established operations in these target markets. The strategic platforms will provide ACP Capital with direct access to established origination channels, while ACP Capital will assist its platform partners in extending and broadening their existing SME product lines, such as non-recourse/recourse corporate funding, lease financing, real estate and equity products, through support from ACP Capital's comprehensive funding capabilities.

About ACP Mezzanine ACP Mezzanine Limited (LSE AIM: ACPM) is a Jersey-incorporated company that listed on AIM in July 2006 after raising Euro100 million. Its strategy is to pursue opportunities as a mezzanine lender, originating, structuring and underwriting the majority of its investments primarily in the European small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) market. ACP Mezzanine's investment strategy is implemented and managed by ACP Capital through an Investment Management Agreement. ACP Mezzanine's strategy is different from that followed by a number of participants in the mezzanine financing market, which focus on acquiring assets directly from third parties through a syndication process, and can underwrite / syndicate such loans originated directly. ACP Mezzanine lends primarily across Europe, with origination arising through a direct integrated finance approach alongside ACP Capital's strategic platforms and managed vehicles, and, to a lesser extent, purchases of assets in the secondary market if the expected risk adjusted returns are attractive. It is expected that the integrated finance approach will account for at least two thirds of ACP Mezzanine's investments over time. ACP Mezzanine's Board includes Derek Vago, Christophe Tanghe, Wolfgang Mellinghof and two other Non-Executive Directors. About ACP Capital ACP Capital Limited (LSE AIM: APL) is a Jersey-incorporated specialist integrated finance and asset management company focusing on both the asset-backed and non asset-backed sectors in the European small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) market. The company's shares were admitted to trading on AIM in January 2006, raising approximately #50m before costs, followed by a further #15m share placing in December 2006. In March 2007, the company completed a further #150m capital raising in order to finance its intended development plans, including the development of additional funding lines, managed vehicles and strategic platforms to originate loans and assets in Germany, the UK, France and Italy. As an integrated finance specialist, ACP Capital offers a combination of equity, mezzanine and senior debt to companies in niche markets, such as the German ' Mittelstand' (privately-owned SMEs), and for asset-backed transactions in sectors like real estate and infrastructure. The company intends to put in place levered loan and non-investment grade funding vehicles in order to complement its current product base with a view to providing financing solutions across the capital structure. As an asset manager, ACP Capital manages a series of investment vehicles that can provide the required funding for its integrated finance capabilities. ACP Capital intends to launch at least two managed vehicles each year in specific sectors in its target markets. These managed vehicles are intended to take advantage of the planned flow of asset opportunities from the expansion of the company's funding capabilities and strategic platforms. ACP Capital intends to receive management and performance-related fees from these vehicles in addition to any share price increase as a strategic equity investor. To date, ACP Capital has launched two such vehicles, ACP Mezzanine Limited and IFR Capital plc. On 8 March 2007 ACP Capital announced that it had raised a committed leverage facility of #125 million with Deutsche Bank for ACP Senior High Yield, a soon-to-be-launched managed vehicle focusing on the acquisition of European senior debt assets originated primarily through ACP Capital's SME-focused integrated finance business, and through the primary and secondary markets. ACP Capital's Board includes the highly regarded retail entrepreneur, Heiner Kamps, the Director General of the international real estate investment and development company Jesta Group, Francois Georges, the Managing Director of the full service real estate private equity firm Presidio Partners LLC, Alan Braxton, an Italian certified barrister and Director of Investimente e Sviluppo S.p.a., Daniele Discepolo, Derek Vago, Eric Youngblood, Nikolaj Larsen and two other Non-Executive Directors.
