Q-PARK EXPANDS IN SCANDINAVIA WITH BIGGEST TAKEOVER IN ITS HISTORY

Important gateway to Nordic region

This acquisition by Q-Park adds a further 285.000 parking spaces to the Dutch companys parking portfolio in Europe, and provides Q-Park with an important gateway to the Swedish, Norwegian and Finish parking market. It further strengthens its position in the Danish market, where it took over a Danish carpark company called DKParkering end 2005.

Move to the Northern countries is a logical step

Ward Vleugels: The Nordic region provides us a solid position in our portfolio in Europe. The move to the Northern countries is a logical step. Its culture and ways of doing business is in line with our own beliefs and working ethics. We feel comfortable with the excellent management, under the leading Carpark CEO Mats Kullman.

Q-Park is already a leading player in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland and Denmark. The addition of the Carpark operation brings Q-Parks portfolio up to 510.000 parking spaces in Europe.

We expect further sales growth and a further increase in the number of parking places

We strengthened our market position and further increased confidence in our business model amongst our investors. Our partners and customers recognise the strength of the Q-Park brand and the quality of our services. In the years ahead, we expect further sales growth and a further increase in the number of parking places. The mobility market is still going strong and as a leading partner in this chain, we strive to offer best value for money to both our business partners and to our customers, Ward Vleugels said.

Q-Park is one of the leading players in the European parking industry and owns, operates, manages and runs fully, or in combination multi-storey car-parks. The Q-Park mission is to deliver high-quality parking and related customer-oriented services, focusing on speed, convenience, safety, and hospitality at key locations such as city centres, airports, railway stations and hospital sites.
