MEGA Brands Finalizes Credit Facility Amendments

MONTREAL, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MEGA Brands Inc. (TSX: MB)
(the "Corporation") is pleased to announce today that it has received lender
approval for certain amendments to its senior secured credit facilities (the
"Credit Facilities") maturing in 2012 (the "Credit Agreement").
The amendment waives the funded debt to EBITDA ratio covenant and the
fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as of December 31, 2007 and until
September 30, 2008, inclusively. Furthermore, through this amendment, the
lenders consent to the sale of the Stationery and Activities business and to
the release of the liens on the assets sold provided that the net
consideration received from this sale will be used to make prepayment offers
to the current lenders. In addition, the EBITDA definition has been amended
and a new financial covenant is added whereby the Corporation will have to
maintain a minimum cumulative EBITDA at the end of each of its second, third
and fourth financial quarters of its 2008 financial year.
The Corporation believes these amendments provide the necessary financial
flexibility to implement the previously announced Value Enhancement Plan and
to conduct the sale of the AST business through an orderly process.
