On Top Down Under - ReD Australia Sells for AUD 353 Million (EUR243 Million)

London, July 30, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire) - After impressive growth, Retail
Decision's (ReD) Australian fuel card and pre-paid businesses have
expanded from modest minnows to market leading enterprises.

The announcement of the sale of ReD's Australian concerns to US
fleet and corporate card specialist Wright Express Corporation for
AUD 353 million reflects the substantial progress made under ReD's
leadership and expertise, to its value today as a highly lucrative
and desirable acquisition.

In the ten years since ReD bought the Australian fuel card
business, the company has flourished, with its management team
steering it to increasing levels of profitability and impressive
business growth, to become the premier multi-branded fuel card
service in the country. This success was matched with the energising
of the pre-paid card business ReD bought five years ago, with the
company taking it from loss-maker to the fast growing and profitable
market leader that it is today.

The value of these market-leading assets under ReD's management
is recognised with this move. Meanwhile, ReD will continue to
concentrate on its proven expertise in fraud prevention across the
globe, including Australia.

As one of the world's foremost providers of payment fraud
prevention, ReD will continue to develop and internationalise its
business, and is excited by the prospect of on-going expansion into
emerging markets in the future, using the same expertise which
nurtured ReD Australia to its current value.

Carl Clump, CEO of ReD, said: "The astounding growth of our
businesses in Australia is a credit to all our staff over the years,
and I would like to thank them all very publicly. Under ReD's
management our Australian Fuel Card business has gone from being the
number three multi-branded fuel card to being the market leader.
Additionally, its profitability has increased some 15 fold over that
ten year period.

Since 2005, when ReD bought its pre-paid business in Australia,
the business has grown from a small loss-making concern to a
profitable and rapidly growing market leader with a dominant market
share. These are two excellent assets which will continue to go from
strength to strength under Wright Express's ownership.

ReD will now put all its efforts behind its renowned,
international payments fraud prevention business. We are very excited
about the opportunities ahead of us on a global basis for our fraud
prevention activities"
