Axactor acquires an unsecured NPL Portfolio in Spain

Madrid, 31st July 2018

Axactor has managed to close with Sareb the purchase of the "Navia" project, an unsecured portfolio with an outstanding balance of approximately EUR 2.3 billion and with close to four thousand cases. This portfolio is by volume the largest acquisition that Axactor has made in Spain, but with a relatively low Capex investment of below EUR 10 million. Including this portfolio, Axactor Spain will manage purchased debt of more than EUR 5 billion in face value.

Axactor continues to grow in the Spanish NPL sector, diversifying investments in all NPLs segments, both secured, unsecured and REOs. This allows Axactor to guarantee management of assets throughout the value chain by combining the purchase of portfolios with the service to third parties, where volumes now exceed EUR 20 billion under management.

David Martín and Andrés López, General Directors of Axactor Spain: "Today we are pleased to announce the purchase of the first unsecured portfolio that Sareb sells in Spain, which is a great milestone for us as we also significantly increase our debt management volume".
