ARC Announces Closing of New Asset Based Credit Facility

WALNUT CREEK, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/12 --

ARC (NYSE: ARC), the nation's leading document solutions company for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, today announced that it has closed a new asset based senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association that was arranged by Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The committed size of the new facility is $50 million and includes a $10 million "accordion" provision that may be used to increase the borrowing capacity to $60 million. The initial term of the facility is four and a half years and has no financial covenants unless there is less than $10 million of excess availability. The new facility replaces ARC's existing and undrawn $50 million revolving credit line.

"We were very pleased to close this facility with Wells Fargo. I'm gratified that they share our confidence in the future of ARC and its strategy for moving forward," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC. "They have been big supporters over the past year as we have strengthened the capital structure of ARC and built a platform on which to grow."

The interest rate for the facility is set by an availability-based grid starting at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, 25 basis points lower than the Company's previous revolving credit facility.

"This is a great deal for ARC," said John E.D. Toth, ARC's CFO. "It provides us with a strong capital structure to execute the growth of our operations. The Wells Fargo team was very thoughtful in working with us to put together this facility. They appreciated our financial strength, our ability to continually generate positive cash flow regardless of the macro environment, and the unique aspects of our business model. They've been an outstanding partner in the past and have stepped up to the plate for us again. The new facility allows us greater flexibility and far fewer constraints should we choose to use it tactically or in pursuit of our overall corporate strategy."
