Included in the assets are several large blocks of IPv4 addresses registered 
with RIPE-NCC, the regional internet registry for Europe and the Middle East, 
and transferrable within the region or to North America (ARIN) or Asia and 
Pacific (APNIC) regions. The blocks will be listed on the IPv4.Global online 
marketplace. Registered users will be able to see the blocks available and make 
offers.

IPv4.Global has been a leading worldwide IPv4 broker since 2012. Through both 
its online auction marketplace and its private brokerage, IPv4.Global has 
completed over 1,500 transactions including numerous transactions in the RIPE 
NCC region. The IPv4.Global online platform is predicated on streamlining 
transactions and making price information freely available to market 
participants and market watchers.

The Thomas Cook opportunity is expected to generate strong interest given the 
continued global shortage of IPv4 space, with RIPE-NCC having announced it ran 
out of IPv4 addresses last month. Since Hilco Streambank's completion of some 
of the first ever sales of IPv4 addresses in the Borders Group bankruptcy in 
2012, the secondary IP address marketplace has rapidly grown and the prices of 
IP addresses have also drastically increased. Larger block sizes which traded 
for $5 per IP address in 2012 are now selling for in excess of $20 per IP 
address. 

Hilco has already been engaged to sell a large portfolio of Thomas Cook Group 
Plc (in Liquidation) travel related domain names, sub-brands, IT and aviation 
engineering equipment.  The appointment to bring the Thomas Cook IP addresses 
to market demonstrates Hilco's ability to leverage its deep transaction 
expertise across all asset classes to achieve maximum value for assets.
