SFN Group, Inc. Amends and Extends Credit Facility Through November 2014

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SFN Group, Inc. (NYSE: SFN) today announced that it has amended its $250 million asset based revolving credit facility, extending its term from July 2013 to November 2014 and reducing interest rates commensurate with current market conditions.

Interest rate spreads on drawn amounts and letters of credit were decreased by 150 basis points.  Unused line fees were decreased by 12.5 to 25 basis points depending on facility usage.  In addition to extending the term and decreasing borrowing costs, the amended facility carries forward the previous provision that no financial covenants are in effect as long as excess availability of $30 million is maintained.  At closing, excess availability was approximately $136 million.  In the future, excess availability may be reduced if the trailing twelve months fixed charge coverage ratio falls below a certain level.  A copy of the amendment will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our third quarter report on Form 10-Q.
