ABG Sundal Collier expands its service offering in Denmark

ABG Sundal Collier is expanding its Danish operation
and establishing a corporate finance branch in
Copenhagen. We are pleased to announce that Thomas B.
Lindquist has been appointed as new Partner and Head
of Investment Banking Denmark. Mr. Lindquist (40)
brings 17 years of investment banking experience and
was previously Managing Director of Nordea's
corporate finance activities in Denmark.

By establishing a local team in Copenhagen, we will
strengthen our Nordic investment banking footprint,
complementing existing teams in Oslo and Stockholm,
as well as leveraging our strong platform and
knowledge-bases within corporate finance, equity-,
high-yield and convertible bond sales and research.

The establishment of a Danish corporate finance
operation is seen as a natural next step in
developing our positions in Denmark, mirroring the
service offering in our other Nordic offices. ABG
Sundal Collier's current Danish equity research and
sales operation was opened in 2005.

As a Nordic investment bank delivering a leading
product offering within equity and bond sales,
research, corporate access and investment banking, we
are confident that our clients in Denmark and
globally will benefit further from our expansion into
investment banking services in Denmark.
