Hoist Finance acquires TRC SpA in move to strengthen presence in Italy


Hoist Finance today announces the acquisition of its Italian service partner TRC
SpA. The transaction is another step in the strategy to grow and expand its
European footprint.
Hoist Finance announces the agreement with the owners of its Italian service
partner TRC SpA, a company Hoist Finance has worked closely with since the
company entered the Italian market in 2011.  The acquisition is a natural step
towards becoming the leading debt restructuring partner to global banks and
financial institutions.

“I am delighted that we have reached an agreement to bring our Italian service
partner into the Hoist Finance Group. We made our first investment in Italy in
2011 after a detailed analysis of the market place and have since then enjoyed a
close co-operation with TRC, one of the leading and most experienced players in
Italy. We look forward to welcoming TRC into the Hoist Finance family,” says
Jörgen Olsson, CEO Hoist Finance.

“After having worked side-by-side with Hoist Finance since 2011, it was a
natural step for us to form a structure for closer co-operation. As part of
Hoist Finance, we will be even better positioned to continue to capture the
upcoming opportunities in Italy,” says Clemente Reale of TRC.
