Merix Corporation Announces New Bank Credit Facility

BEAVERTON, OR today announced that it has replaced its previous revolving bank credit facility with a new $55 million revolving facility that expires in February 2013.

The new $55 million Bank Credit Agreement with Bank of America N.A. replaces a similarly sized facility that was set to expire in September 2010. The terms and conditions of this new agreement are improved from the Company's previous credit agreement including more favorable pricing and a more broad borrowing base. Similar to the Company's previous agreement, the credit facility is secured by substantially all of Merix' North American assets. Borrowings from the facility can be used to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

"We are very pleased to continue our relationship with Bank of America who was a participant in our previous bank facility," said Kelly E. Lang, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "The new agreement gives us added flexibility to invest in our growing Asian business."
