IMPCO announces US$32 Million debt financings

Cerritos, California, July 21 -- IMPCO Technologies, Inc. announced today it has closed financing arrangements with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC and Bison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC. IMPCO's financing from LaSalle is a US$12 million revolving line of credit with a maturity date of July 18, 2006. IMPCO also issued a US$20 million senior subordinated secured note to Bison Capital that is payable in full on July 18, 2007.

The combined financing will permit IMPCO to repay approximately US$11.3 million currently outstanding under its Bank of America credit facilities, which matured on July 15, 2003. The funds will also permit IMPCO to complete its acquisition of 50% of the equity interests of B.R.C.

IMPCO's Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone stated, "The combined LaSalle and Bison financing package replaces our former Bank of America credit facilities and provides IMPCO with working capital, funds the deferred payment portion of the company's recent acquisition of a 50% equity interest in BRC, helps meet the future operating needs of the company and will assist in supporting the future growth of IMPCO."
