ACCUCOMS Prepares for Restart as Founder and Managing Director, Pinar
Erzin Buys Back the Company

6 November 2014 | Leiden, The Netherlands - Accucoms, the leading
provider of sales and marketing services for publishers with
headquarters in Leiden, The Netherlands, has been bought back by
founder and managing director Pinar Erzin, together with key
management: Egon Menardi, Simon Boisseau and Rakesh Malik.

This news follows the recent announcement that Swets Information
Services B.V., the parent company of Accucoms B.V. was declared
bankrupt on the 23rd September this year, with Accucoms B.V. equally
declared bankrupt on the 1st October.

Stakeholders have been working hard to restart the company since the
announcement of the bankruptcy of Accucoms B.V. As of today, the 6th
of November of 2014, Pinar Erzin has signed an agreement with the
trustee in bankruptcy of Accucoms B.V. regarding the assets of
Accucoms B.V. to restart the company. Current staff of Accucoms will
be re-employed and will continue to operate from the Leiden
headquarters until the 28th of November 2014. Furthermore, publishers
who are customers of Accucoms B.V. will be contacted shortly by the
new company about the way forward and the continuation of projects.

Founder, Pinar Erzin, had the following to say, "We are thrilled to
announce the restart of the company. It has been a difficult time
after the news of the bankruptcies of Swets, Jongbloed and Accucoms.
However, we are very proud to have our publishers on board with us in
the restart. They know and understand the value the company brings to
the publishing industry and we are very happy to say that they all
persevered with us during this difficult time and for the continued
support we are very grateful."

"Although the news of the bankruptcy of Accucoms B.V. came as a great
shock to us, all staff members and stakeholders have been persistent
and supportive. A restart comes as a new challenge to us but one that
our innovative, flexible and determined staff members can no doubt
succeed in."
