Online Resources Continues Conversion Of Convertible Debt

MCLEAN, Va., November 9, 2001

Online Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCC), a leading outsourcer of e-financial services, today announced the conversion of $1 million of its convertible debt into equity. As a result, the Company expects no further need in the next twelve months for additional equity to comply specifically with the net tangible asset requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq's National Market.

The conversion price for $1 million of convertible subordinated notes due 2005 was reset for this transaction to $3.05 per share, versus the $4.00 conversion price that otherwise would have existed under the notes. This change resulted in 77,869 additional shares, and a total issuance of 327,869 shares. Total shares outstanding for the Company now stand at approximately 13 million. Closing price for Online Resources shares on the November 2, 2001 date of the transaction was $2.25 per share.

The transaction will result in a $1 million net increase in the Company's shareholder equity. The Company will account for the transaction in conformance with accounting rules covering induced conversion of convertible debt. The net shareholder equity increase consists of $1.18 million of common stock and additional paid in capital, offset by a $177,500 non-cash debt conversion expense charged to fourth quarter 2001 earnings. There is no impact on the Company's cash position as a result of the transaction and $13 million of debt remains from the Company's original debt issuance in 2000 of $20 million.
