P-Com Announces Renewal of Credit Facility With Silicon Valley Bank for An Additional Year

Posted on: Thursday, 25 September 2003, 06:00 CDT

CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- P-Com, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: PCOM) , a worldwide provider of wireless telecom products and services, today announced that Silicon Valley Bank has renewed its credit facility for an additional year. The credit facility allows for maximum borrowings up to $4 million.

P-Com initially entered into a 364-day credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank in September 2002 for working capital purposes. The facility was renewed by Silicon Valley Bank upon expiration of the existing credit facility. Borrowings under the facility are secured by P-Com's tangible and intangible assets.

"The renewal of P-Com's line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank further demonstrates the success of our financial restructuring plan over the past year, and reflects the confidence of Silicon Valley Bank in P-Com's ability to return to profitability," said P-Com Acting CFO Daniel Rumsey. "We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Silicon Valley Bank to meet our business objectives."

As part of its plan to strengthen its balance sheet, P-Com in August announced a restructuring of its 7% convertible subordinated notes due 2007, resulting in the conversion of $21.1 million in debt into preferred stock. The renewal of the credit facility is a further step in P-Com's restructuring plan.
