    About ACP Capital

    ACP Capital is a Jersey-incorporated specialist integrated finance and asset management company,
    quoted on AIM and focused on providing equity and debt products to European small and medium sized
    enterprises (the "SMEs"). 

    ACP Capital aims to benefit from opportunities generated from the strong growth in SME demand for
    integrated finance, combined with the reduced appetite for SME lending among traditional banks owing to
    higher regulatory capital requirements. 

    In order to better serve the SME markets directly, ACP Capital is establishing localised operating
    platforms (the "Platforms") in its key markets of Germany, France and the United Kingdom. These include
    to-date Leasecom, a leading SME finance provider in France, and GCI, a specialist private equity firm for
    the German SME market. Further Platforms are being evaluated currently to serve the remaining key
    markets.
