Computershare Finalizes Acquisition of Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Computershare Limited (ASX: CPU), a leading financial services provider for the global securities industry, announced today it has finalized the acquisition of Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC (SLS), a primary and special fee-based servicer of residential mortgage loans.

SLS will now benefit from Computershare's core competency of stakeholder servicing and its top quality customer service, communication and financial transaction processing infrastructure.

"The close of this deal means that SLS now has the support and increased bandwidth that comes from the backing of Computershare's global infrastructure," said Steve Rothbloom, CEO and President, Computershare US.

"Regulatory and other pressures are leading many US banks to consider outsourcing their mortgage servicing and identify sub-servicing solutions such as those provided by SLS," said John Beggins, CEO, SLS. "With the strength of Computershare behind us, we are positioned to become the standout servicing solution for all major US banks."

Computershare has a successful track record of integrating businesses that rely on Computershare's unique global customer service and data management infrastructure, such as Kurtzman Carson Consultants, a bankruptcy and class action administration provider and, in the UK, Busy Bees childcare voucher services.

SLS is based in Highlands Ranch, CO and has approximately 600 employees.
