Intrum Justitia acquires debt portfolios in Northern Europe

Intrum Justitia has entered into agreements to acquire debt portfolios in its Northern Europe region, for a total investment of about 670 MSEK, from two different sellers.

The sellers are large financial institutions and the claims acquired represent well-diversified portfolios of mainly unsecured consumer receivables in Sweden and Denmark.  Approximately 600 MSEK of the total investment represent one-off portfolios which are acquired in December 2015 and about 70 MSEK represent forward-flow investments for portfolio acquisitions to be made during 2016.

The investments will be financed by Intrum Justitia’s available cash and credit facilities.
