Corum Group Appoints John Melotte as Regional Director in United Kingdom

ZURICH, Switzerland, April 30 /PRNewswire/ --

Corum Group Ltd., the global leader in M&A services to sellers of
software and information technology companies, announces their increased
presence in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland with the
appointment of John Melotte as regional director.

"Our international group has experienced significant growth in recent
years, in large part due to the unique positioning of Corum as the only
software and IT M&A-focused advisory firm with global presence, exclusively
serving sellers," says Miro Parizek, managing director of Corum Group
International. "In recent months, Corum has advised UK-based companies such
as iView, Crane Telecommunications and NavisWorks in their respective sales
to Microsoft, Datatec and Autodesk. Building on our momentum, after adding
directors in Germany, Norway, France and Brazil, we continue our expansion
with Corum's most recent hire in the UK. Melotte's wealth of experience in
the industry and track record of business success makes him the ideal person
to drive Corum's next phase of growth in the UK and Ireland."

With the continued rise of cross-border deals in 2007, the appointment of
Melotte benefits Irish and UK-based software and IT companies by providing
them with local access to Corum's global presence.

"I have worked within the software and IT business for some 30 years.
During this time I have had direct experience of M&A transactions-as a
private seller, as a private buyer and as institutional investor," said
Melotte, now regional director at Corum Group International. "I am looking
forward to bringing my personal understanding when leveraging the unequaled
experience, research and track record of the Corum Group, for the benefit of
its software and IT clients."
