Quindell Portfolio Plc (AIM: QPP.L), the provider of sector leading expertise in software, consultancy and technology enabled outsourcing in its key markets, being Insurance, Telecommunications and their Related Sectors, is pleased to announce that further to its statement on 24 January 2012 it has broadened its partnering agreement with Silverbeck Rymer in providing a joint outsourcing offering to the UK insurance claim market, in particular in the area of personal injury, sufficiently to allow the Board to be confident of meeting market expectations in the second half of 2012. In addition, the two firms have now signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of Silverbeck Rymer by Quindell ("the Acquisition"), subject to approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Financial Services Authority.

Silverbeck Rymer is one of the UK's top five legal services firms, operating primarily in the area of personal injury. During 2011, Quindell worked with Silverbeck Rymer to develop a market leading proposition for both the direct market and as a partner to any major brand, and Silverbeck Rymer is already a provider of a significant volume of business to the Group's insurance outsourcing operations.

As part of the partnering agreement with Silverbeck Rymer, Jim Rymer will also be joining the Group's Strategy and Integration Advisory Board enabling Quindell to leverage his experience and industry contacts on a broader basis. Jim has enjoyed a long and successful career helping to drive Silverbeck Rymer from its early years of being a multi-disciplined general practice to one that is a market leading and highly focused business delivering services to the insurance, broker and claims communities. Jim is a highly respected and well-known figure within the industry, a founding member of the Motor Accident Solicitors Society and a deputy District Judge.

Rob Terry, Chairman and Group Chief Executive of Quindell said: "We are delighted to have reached this agreement, which represents a key step in the building of our combined insurance outsourcing offering, and provides the Board with further confidence of being able to meet market expectations for 2012. I would like to welcome Jim to our Strategy and Integration Advisory Board where I am sure his industry expertise and experience in the sector will prove extremely valuable in helping to secure delivery of our current pipeline of insurance outsourcing contracts which is both significant and growing."

Jim Rymer, Chairman of Silverbeck Rymer said: "Having continued to work closely with Quindell since our first announcement in January we continue to see significant benefits in being part of the enlarged group. Quindell is a major player in the insurance space and we firmly believe in its non-conflict approach to working with insurers. Its positioning as thought leader and belief in improving margins whilst lowering costs for the industry sits well with our philosophies of working alongside insurers to help combat fraud and other areas of cost escalation, whilst being an active promoter of fairness and protector of consumer rights and championing industry change."
