FIGI Freedom Internet Group Inc (PK)

Bridge Capital Holdings (NASDAQ: BBNK), whose subsidiary is Bridge Bank, a full-service professional business bank headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices located nationwide, announced today that it recently provided a $6 million line of credit to Fortress International Group (OTC: FIGI).

"We turned to Bridge Bank as a partner for this line of credit after several frustrating experiences with other banks, who did not fully appreciate our business and its potential. They were flexible, professional, and efficient, and we appreciate the confidence that Bridge Bank demonstrated in our service portfolio," said Anthony Angelini, CEO, Fortress International Group. "As Fortress continues to execute our strategic business plan, this line of credit provides an additional source of liquidity for our investments and working capital requirements, and we believe that it will serve as a solid foundation to assist our expected future growth," Angelini added.

"When Fortress International Group came to us, they were disappointed with recent experiences they had had with other banks," said Paul Gibson, senior vice president and market manager for Bridge Bank's East Coast Technology Banking Division. "We were able to work quickly to learn about Fortress's business, assess their needs, and tailor this flexible credit solution in just under six weeks. We are confident in the company's new leadership and firmly believe that Fortress is poised for success. We are delighted to be a part of their new success story," Gibson added.
