investor and manager of distressed assets, today announced that it has signed an
agreement to acquire significant assets in Hungary. Subject to the review and
approval from regulatory authorities, the transaction is expected to close in

DDM continues to expand via significant acquisitions and has concluded an

significant part of the investment and manage 100% of the investment.

Gustav Hultgren, CEO of DDM commented: “I am happy to announce that we and our
co-investor have signed the agreement with the seller after our team has spent
the better part of the year diligently assessing and structuring this
transaction. We have acquired a leading company with an experienced management
team and a strong platform for further portfolio investments. This reconfirms
DDM’s position as a top-tier regional investor and manager of distressed
assets.”

Gustav Hultgren also said “We are pleased to make this sizeable investment
together with our co-investors and to be trusted to manage the investment on
their behalf.”

Fredrik Olsson, Chief Financial Officer of DDM, stated, “This acquisition
represents a significant increase to our earnings power, adding strong cash
flows and increase our book-value of distressed asset portfolios by more than
50% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The investment will in addition generate
management fees to DDM over the lifetime of the transaction, which will further
strengthen our cash flows and profit.”
