Hoist Finance streamlines its European organisation

Hoist Finance AB (publ), a leading debt restructuring partner to major
international banks, has decided to separate its operational activities into
three regions. The group-wide acquisition and investment unit will be removed
and the regions will assume responsibility for debt portfolio acquisition and
customer relations with the pan-European banks in each geographic area.

The composition of the management group will change as a result of the
reorganisation, with all regional directors joining the executive management
team. Regional directors will also be members of the internal Investment
Committee.

”By bringing management even closer to the market, this organisational
optimisation is well in line with our strategy to develop and strengthen our
position in Europe. We are also improving our capacity to co-ordinate key
decisions, which will allow us to speed up the implementation phase,” said
Jörgen Olsson, President and CEO of Hoist Finance.

The new executive management team is comprised of:

Jörgen Olsson, CEO

Pontus Sardal, CFO and Dept. CEO

Henrik Gustafsson, Regional Director Central East Europe

Charles de Munter, Regional Director Mid Europe

Najib Nathoo, Regional Director West Europe (new member)

Anders Wallin, CIO

Karin Beijer, Group Head of HR
