The Receivables Exchange Grants Tier One Seat to SSR Capital Partners, LP

Leading Hedge Fund Manager Joins Asset-Based Lenders to
Revolutionize the Industry and Enable Millions of US Companies to
Access Working Capital
NEW ORLEANS--(Business Wire)--The Receivables Exchange (www.receivablesxchange.com), America's
first online marketplace for real-time trading of accounts
receivables, announced today that SSR Capital Partners, LP has secured
a Tier One Seat on the Exchange. The Receivables Exchange is a smart,
easy and efficient way for companies to gain quick access to capital.
The Exchange is currently offering a limited number of Tier One
memberships, including ownership of a Seat on the Exchange.

"The Receivables Exchange will transform what has traditionally
been a slow, laborious and expensive way for small-to-mid-sized
businesses to gain quick access to working capital," said Nicolas
Perkin, president of The Receivables Exchange. "Having hedge funds
such as SSR Capital Partners, LP join the Exchange further supports
the broad appeal of receivables financing for capital partners and
reinforces the benefits of having access to large and diverse pools of
commercial receivables in a centralized marketplace."

With The Receivables Exchange, issuers will no longer have to wait
weeks or months to gain access to capital from only a small pool of
lenders. The Receivables Exchange will provide millions of
small-to-mid-sized businesses quick access to working capital at a
lower cost than other financing options by quickly and efficiently
bringing together a broad class of pre-screened lenders to compete in
real-time for accounts receivables at competitive rates.

"The Receivables Exchange is centralizing a highly fragmented and
inefficient marketplace by creating an online exchange for trading
receivables," said Steve Helland, managing partner at SSR Capital
Partners, LP. "With The Receivables Exchange's success at increasing
liquidity and lowering the bar of inefficiency in the marketplace, the
hedge fund community will be greatly enhanced by this exciting new
model."

adviser that manages several funds of hedge funds focused on the
