ARI expected to save more than $1 million in interest costs over the next three years

Milwaukee, Wis., July  28, 2011 – ARI (OTCBB: ARIS),  a leading provider of technology-enabled solutions that help dealers, distributors, and manufacturers in selected vertical markets increase revenue and reduce costs, today announced the closing of its new senior secured credit facilities with Fifth Third Bank.  The new credit facilities are expected to save ARI more than $1 million in interest costs over the next three years.

Under terms of the agreement, the Company refinanced its $5 million term loan and its revolving credit facility, reducing the amount of the revolving credit facility to $1.5 million from $2 million.  Both facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4.0% and mature three years from today.  The term note requires principal repayments equal to $1 million annually and contains an excess cash recapture provision.

“This is a very exciting day for ARI and its shareholders, ” said Darin Janecek, ARI’s Chief Financial Officer.  “At the onset of our 2011 fiscal year, which ends July 31, we set out to reduce the amount of our outstanding line of credit and refinance our 14% term loan, which was incurred with the April 2009 acquisition of Channel Blade Technologies.  We have accomplished both, ” added Janecek.

“Over the past six months we have paid down approximately $1.3 million of outstanding debt, including paying down the remaining balance on our line of credit earlier this week. With today’s announcement, we achieved the other half of our goal.  Between the repayment of our line of credit and the significant interest rate reduction on the term loan, at today’s interest rate, we can expect to see approximately $1.3 million in interest savings over the next three years. Furthermore, the steady repayment of debt should reduce our corporate risk profile, as well as increase the percentage of total enterprise value that is apportioned to common shareholders.”

“We are delighted to have ARI, a leading technology company, as a new client of our bank, ” said Jeanne Reynolds, SVP, Middle Market, Commercial, Fifth Third Bank.  “ARI is a great fit for our middle market portfolio, as we were able to tailor our services to meet their exacting needs.”
