Ultralife Corporation Receives Commitment Letter for $35 Million Revolving Credit Facility from RBS Business Capital

Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI), by letter dated January 14, 2010, has secured a commitment from RBS Business Capital (“RBS”), a division of Citizens Financial Group, for a $35 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. This revolving credit facility will replace the company’s $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility with its current lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“current lenders”).

“Refinancing our existing revolving credit facility with an asset-based facility has been our highest priority,” said John D. Kavazanjian, Ultralife’s president and chief executive officer. “Following discussions with various lenders, we selected RBS because of their ability to work with us on a global basis with very favorable financing terms. We look forward to forging a strong relationship with RBS and will now move forward to finalize the agreement with them. We expect to close on the new asset-based facility by February 18.”

On January 15, 2010, Ultralife’s current lenders provided it with a letter, which demanded payment of the outstanding revolver balance as a result of events of defaults related to failure to comply with certain covenants under the existing revolving credit facility. Subsequently, Ultralife and the current lenders entered into a Forbearance Agreement, effective January 22, 2010, by which the current lenders agreed not to exercise their rights and remedies under the existing credit facility until February 18, 2010. After the payment of $1.5 million concurrent with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement, the outstanding balance under the existing revolving credit facility will be $14.3 million.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
