TRANSCOM ACQUIRES ITS SECOND DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY IN THE UK

Transcom WorldWide S.A., the global outsourced services company, today announced
that it has acquired 100% of Newman & Company Limited (“Newman”) for a total
cash consideration of €2.8 million.  Transcom will pay €2.2 million up-front
with the remaining €600,000 payment being subject to a 12-month earn-out. 
Newman reported revenues of €3.1 million in fiscal year 2007, and the purchase
price is based on a valuation of 5.6 times EBITA.

The transaction will be funded from out of Transcom's credit facility and
Newman's operations will be consolidated from 1 September 2008.  Newman's senior
management has signed contracts to remain with the company.

Based in Leeds in the United Kingdom, Newman was established in 1986 and has
grown rapidly since the company's inception.  The company currently has 250
seats of capacity and is highly specialised in providing services to key players
in the UK financial services sector.  Newman provides a number of CMS solutions,
including consumer collection, commercial collection, legal collection and
international collection through its own multilingual staff based in the UK.

Keith Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transcom, said: “We are
very excited with this acquisition as it further expands our presence and
capabilities in the UK market, one of the largest and most advanced collections
markets in Europe.  With a more prominent onshore presence in the UK, we will be
able to drive our CMS business forward and compete for larger, more strategic
contracts, both within the country and internationally.  We will also be able to
utilise Newman's capacity to integrate CRM workstreams as and when necessary,
bringing further operational synergies and efficiency gains.”
