| Online Resources Repurchases Portion of Convertible Debt |
McLean, VA (June 6, 2001) Online Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCC), a leading Internet application service provider to financial institutions, today announced the repurchase of $3.5 million approximately 18 percent* of its series of convertible subordinated notes due 2005, resulting in a one-time gain of approximately $1 million, after amortization of financing origination costs.
Carl Blandino, executive vice president and chief financial officer stated, "Online Resources' recent performance, measured against its operating plan, led us to conclude that we had excess cash resources available to us beyond those needed to reach operating break even as projected for early to mid 2002. When the opportunity presented itself to repurchase this convertible debt on attractive terms, we saw a favorable benefit-to-risk tradeoff for our shareholders. The transaction results in less potential shareholder dilution of approximately 4 to 5 percent, less interest expense and higher equity book value."
