Parametric Sound Announces Closing of New $60 Million Credit Facility

SAN DIEGO, CA, April 1, 2014 – Parametric Sound Corporation (NASDAQ: PAMT) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new five year $60 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with Bank of America. The new credit facility replaces Parametric Sound Corporation’s previous credit facility and will provide improved and expanded funding for both U.S. and European operations.

“This new ABL Facility provides more borrowing capacity, better terms and a lower interest rate than our prior facility,” said John Hanson, Chief Financial Officer of Parametric Sound Corporation. “We believe this new agreement reflects our strong financial fundamentals and the confidence our lender has in our company.”

Details of the new financing are included in a corresponding Form 8-K filing.

“The new credit facility will allow us to better finance our international operations, which is an important growth vehicle of our gaming headset business,” said Juergen Stark, Chief Executive Officer of Parametric Sound Corporation. “Securing financing that is properly aligned with our business and our long-term growth strategy is an important milestone for our company and we are delighted to be working with Bank of America.”
