SquareTwo Financial, Formerly Collect America, Unveils New Name and Look

For Immediate Release

Denver, CO -- December 16, 2009 -- Collect America is pleased to announce its transformation into SquareTwo Financial. The company’s new name, and accompanying cutting-edge look, marks yet another innovative move in the company’s 15 year history as a leader in the asset management and recovery industry.

The new name, SquareTwo Financial, is symbolic of how the company views the value of charged-off assets. SquareTwo helps alleviate its customers of a failing portfolio, and give new life to it by returning those assets back to productive use. Ultimately, it’s about moving away from square one and restarting in a better place, at square two.

“In my 15 years as the head of this company, I can’t recall being so excited about our future,” said Scott Lowery, Chairman and CEO of SquareTwo Financial. “Never before have charged-off assets meant so much to our customers, and our new branding is a statement of how serious we are about continuing to give new life to their assets.”

“It’s a common notion that everything begins at square one. For us, SquareTwo Financial is a literal expression of what a charged-off asset can do, which is to begin again,” said Paul Larkins, President of SquareTwo Financial. “SquareTwo Financial believes all assets deserve a second chance, and with our unmatched analytics and modeling and innovative approach to recovery, we’re fully equipped bring our customers’ assets back to black.”

Since it was founded in 1994, SquareTwo Financial has set itself apart from the competition. The company established the industry’s first Partners Network, primarily made up of lawyers. It employs a proven process-oriented approach to asset recovery, and highly sophisticated, technology-driven asset modeling and pricing. This allows the company to provide fast, accurate bids to customers, and a high probability portfolio recovery rate. Partners enjoy a well-structured relationship with the company, which provides the technology and tools to help them thrive.

As part of the rebranding effort, the company unveiled a new website, www.squaretwofinancial. All of the SquareTwo business lines are now united online, and can be found in the same place.
