A.D.A.M., Inc. (NASDAQ: ADAM - News), a leading provider of health information and benefits technology solutions announced today that it has completed its refinancing plan and has obtained a new credit facility with RBC Bank USA. This new facility replaced the existing 2006 credit agreement with CapitalSource LLC. Under the new agreement, A.D.A.M. secured a term loan of $10 million and expanded its revolving credit facility from $2 million to $3 million. A.D.A.M. will pay $2 million per year of principal and can repay its debt obligations at any time with no prepayment penalties. The new interest rate is equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.25% compared to A.D.A.M.’s previous rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 4.00%. As part of the transaction, the 2006 credit agreement with CapitalSource was repaid in full and the agreement was terminated. The equity component of the 2006 credit agreement, which was related to the $5 million convertible note, was replaced with a warrant to purchase common stock. The warrant, to expire in August 2011, allows CapitalSource to purchase up to 411,667 shares of A.D.A.M.’s common stock at a price of $3.65 per share. A.D.A.M. will record a non-cash charge in the fourth quarter of 2008 of approximately $900,000 related to the write-off of unamortized financing fees and issuance of the warrants related to the termination of the 2006 credit agreement. A.D.A.M.’s president and chief executive officer, Kevin Noland, commented, “We are very pleased with the outcome of our refinancing efforts. In less than two and half years since the original agreement with CapitalSource, we have successfully repaid $15 million of the $25 million of our debt as a result of our strong cash flow model. “We have taken, and continue to take, positive steps towards improving our profitability in 2009. Securing this new financing in a difficult economic time is reflective of our strong business fundamentals. The new credit facility will provide us additional flexibility and lower interest costs that we believe better positions us to invest in new products and infrastructure for long-term revenue growth.” About A.D.A.M., Inc.
