TRM Receives Credit Ratings
Portland, Oregon: 2 November 2004 — TRM Corporation (NASDAQ – “TRMM”) announced today that it has received credit ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. The ratings apply to the $150 million in senior secured bank facilities which are anticipated to be used in part to fund the Company’s pending eFunds ATM network acquisition which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Moody’s has assigned to TRM a B2 Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Rating while Standard and Poor’s assigned a B+ rating to both a corporate credit and senior secured debt facility. The secured bank facilities will be used to replace TRM’s existing credit facility, fund the eFunds acquisition and provide additional working capital.
These ratings reflect TRM’s leading international ATM-market position, financial performance over recent quarters and the efficiency of internal operations.
