NCO Group Announces Proposal to Commence Offering of $300 Million of Senior Notes

NCO Group, Inc., a leading provider of business processing outsourcing services, today announced that it proposes to commence an offering through a private placement, subject to market and other conditions, including approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by a new parent company and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.  Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the notes, the Company anticipates changing its name to Expert Global Solutions, Inc.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the offering, together with the proceeds of a new credit facility currently under negotiation, to repurchase or otherwise redeem its outstanding senior notes and senior subordinated notes, repay its existing credit facility and certain other indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

The notes and related guarantees are being offered in a private placement, solely to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or outside the United States to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This notice does not constitute an offer to sell the notes, nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase the notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful. Any offer of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
