Allied Motion Amends Credit Agreement, Reducing Company Finance Costs

Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOT) today announced it amended its Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank effective October 26, 2010. The previous agreement was due to expire on October 31, 2010. The Amended Credit Agreement provides up to $8 million of revolving lines of credit, as well as significant reductions to the Company’s borrowing rates and other fees under the previous agreement. The Agreement has an initial term of two years and is available to help fund the future growth of the Company.

“Our amended Credit Agreement provides us with the ability to finance the growth of our Company both in North America and abroad at a lower overall cost to the Company,” commented Dick Smith, CFO of Allied Motion. “While the Company currently has no debt outstanding and is currently generating enough positive cash flow to fund our immediate operating needs and to build up our cash reserves, the new credit facility provides us the ability to help finance any acquisition opportunities that may arise and provides us a funding source should the economy take another significant downturn.”

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Allied Motion designs, manufactures and sells motion control products into applications that serve many industry sectors. Allied Motion is a leading supplier of precision and specialty motion control components and systems to a broad spectrum of customers throughout the world.
