Owen Ellsworth Joins Kurtzman Carson Consultants (KCC) as Consultant as Part of Administar Consolidation

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC (KCC) - a Computershare company and a leading
claims and noticing agent serving companies undergoing Chapter 11 - today
announced that Owen Ellsworth has joined KCC as a corporate restructuring
services consultant. Ellsworth brings extensive experience in corporate
bankruptcy and finance to his new role, contributing to the professional-level
expertise of KCC`s consulting staff. Ellworth`s move to KCC signals the latest
progression in the firm`s consolidation of Administar`s bankruptcy practice,
which is also owned by financial services provider Computershare. The
integration of KCC and Administar bankruptcy practice began in June 2009 to
maximize synergies of the two groups.

"We are delighted that Owen has decided to join the KCC team and welcome the
industry expertise and knowledge that he brings," said Eric Kurtzman, KCC`s CEO
and Co-Founder. "His addition to KCC`s growing restructuring services department
represents another step in our efforts to consolidate Administar`s bankruptcy
practice under the KCC umbrella, as we move forward in combining the strengths
and efficiencies of both companies."

In his former position at Administar, Ellsworth participated in Chapter 11
client engagements such as Allied Holdings, JHT Holdings Inc. and Nutritional
Sourcing Corporation. Previously, Owen was responsible for strategy and product
management for JPMorgan Chase Bank`s Bankruptcy and Settlement Services Group,
as well as financial management at Chase Manhattan Bank. An active member of the
American Bankruptcy Institute and Turnaround Management Association, Ellsworth
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Economics and Business Management
from Cornell University in New York.

In the past year, KCC`s staff expanded by 150% to remain ahead of the growing
demand for claims and noticing services driven by the recent rise of Chapter 11
filings. KCC continues to expand its infrastructure and operational capacity in
anticipation of continued Chapter 11 filings due to the current economic lull.
KCC`s growing roster of clients includes Cooper-Standard Holdings, Charter
Communications, General Growth Properties, Lear Corporation, Six Flags, Visteon,
among many others.
