SED International Holdings Increases and Extends Wells Fargo Credit Facility Through January 1, 2015


TUCKER, GA – February 2, 2011SED International Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: SECX), a multinational supply chain management provider and distributor of leading computer technology, consumer electronics, small appliances and cellular products, today announced that on February 1, 2011 it reached an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank to increase its revolving line of credit to $55.0 million and to extend the expiration date to January 1, 2015. This credit facility may also be increased to $75.0 million in $5.0 million increments at SED’s discretion, subject to certain criteria being met.


The agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, which provides for borrowings based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories (as defined therein), was originally entered into on September 21, 2005 with a term of three years. On March 1, 2007, SED signed a three-year extension maturing on September 21, 2011, and on January 10, 2008, SED elected to increase the line of credit to $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2010, the amount of available borrowings under this credit facility was $15.8 million.  In addition to the Wells Fargo credit line, SED also maintains a $3.7 million bank line with Helm Bank (formerly Banco de Credito de Colombia), supporting its Latin American operations, where the amount of available borrowings was $2.9 million as of September 30, 2010.


“SED has enjoyed a valuable working relationship with Wells Fargo for several years now. We believe that this increase to our credit line as well as the extension of the term of our agreement will continue to support our growth initiatives going forward,” commented Jonathan Elster, SED’s President and CEO.
