Knoll Completes Refinancing of Credit Facility

EAST GREENVILLE, PA, June 29, 2007-Knoll, Inc. (NYSE: KNL) today announced that it has completed the refinancing of its existing credit facility with a new $500 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America N.A., Banc of America Securities, LLC, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Citizens Bank, and other participating lenders.

The Company may use the new revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes, including strategic acquisitions, stock buybacks and cash dividends. The credit facility also provides a mechanism for the company to increase the facility by $200 million if certain terms and conditions are met. The credit facility matures in six years.

Commenting on the closing, Barry L. McCabe, CFO, said "this new credit facility gives us increased flexibility, an additional $200 million add on feature, and lowers our borrowing costs from an approximate average of LIBOR, plus 162 basis points to LIBOR, plus 100 basis points. In addition, it demonstrates the continued support and confidence of our bank group."

As a result of this new credit facility, the company will write-off in the second quarter of 2007 approximately $1.2 million of costs associated with the prior facility.
