FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Jul 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
Parlux Fragrances, Inc. (NASDAQ: PARL) announced that yesterday, July 22,
2008, it successfully completed an agreement with Regions Bank
("Regions") for a two-year $20 million senior secured revolving credit
facility.
The Regions' asset based credit facility will be used for general working
capital requirements, including potential new licenses, and to strengthen
the Company's ability to meet seasonal requirements.
Neil J. Katz, Chairman and CEO, said, "Regions is an outstanding financial
organization and we are pleased by their confidence. This agreement
replaces our existing credit facility at a lower cost. Although we
currently have in excess of $20 million in cash and are not utilizing our
bank line, the availability of this facility provides additional support
to fund our growth." Mr. Katz added, "I believe Regions' involvement with
Parlux will be most beneficial. I look forward to working closely with
them."
