Online Resources Refinances Acquisition Debt

New $100 Million Facility to Save Company $3.6 Million in Annual Interest Expense

CHANTILLY, Va., February 21, 2007 – Online Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCC), a leading provider of Web-based financial services, today announced it has refinanced the $85 million senior secured debt incurred to finance its July 2006 acquisition of Princeton eCom, and established a new $15 million revolving line of credit, which the Company did not borrow under at closing.   

The refinancing, obtained from a syndication group headed by administrative agent Bank of America and syndication agent Silicon Valley Bank, reduces the rate on the Company’s debt by 4.25 percentage points.  The new senior secured debt carries a rate of LIBOR +2.75 percent, with up to an additional 0.5 percentage points in rate declines possible based on declining leverage.  This facility has a five year term with repayment beginning in the second half of 2008. 

In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company wrote off $3.9 million in debt issuance costs and paid $1.7 million in prepayment fees related to the original debt.  These charges were anticipated and were included in the Company’s previously issued first quarter and full year 2007 guidance.

"Replacing our bridge acquisition debt with a market-rate facility will have a positive impact on the Company’s ongoing cash flow, and it is an important first step in strengthening our capital structure after the acquisition of Princeton eCom," stated Catherine A. Graham, executive vice president and chief financial officer of the Company.  "We chose to extend the refinancing period a little longer than expected in order to consider all our options, but we are pleased with the final results and appreciate the confidence of our new lenders."
