Achilles Capital AB Acquires EBRD's 24% Stake in Axfina Platform

Stockholm, Sweden - July 7, 2025 - Achilles Capital AB ("Achilles"), a specialist investor focused on non-performing loans and tactical equity opportunities, has reached an agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD") to acquire its 24% stake in the Axfina platform.

This transaction reflects Achilles' renewed strategic focus on acquiring and managing distressed secured and unsecured credit portfolios across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In parallel, Achilles is actively exploring expansion into adjacent and emerging markets throughout Europe, responding to growing investor demand and increasing market opportunity.

The partnership between Achilles and EBRD has been a highly successful one. Launched as a greenfield initiative, Axfina has been built from the ground up into a truly digital-first financial services platform. Today, Axfina stands as a scalable and technology-enabled pan-European servicer, purpose-built to meet the evolving needs of the credit management landscape.

"The acquisition of EBRD's stake in Axfina marks a natural next step in our strategy," said Matthew Doerner, CEO of Achilles Capital AB. "Our full ownership of Axfina will allow us to further integrate servicing capabilities with our investment activities, especially as we increase our focus on distressed credit throughout CEE and beyond."

The transaction is expected to close at the end of Q2 2025.
