(212) 704-2400 voltinvest@volt.com (mail to: voltinvest@volt.com) VOLT INFORMATION SCIENCES, INC. ANNOUNCES EXTENSION AND INCREASE OF SECURITIZATION PROGRAM New York, NY, February 3, 2006 - Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: VOL) announced today the closing of an expanded securitization facility. In addition to increasing the accounts receivable securitization program from $150 million to $200 million, the Company extended the term by one additional year to April 2, 2008. Under the securitization program, certain receivables of the Company's Staffing segment are sold from time to time to Volt Funding Corp., a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, which in turn sells interests in the receivables to Three Rivers Funding Corporation ("TRFC"), an asset backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by Mellon Financial Markets, LLC. The securitization program is not an off-balance sheet arrangement as Volt Funding Corp. is a 100% owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, with accounts receivable only reduced to reflect the fair value of the interests actually sold to TRFC. As of January 31, 2006, the Company was utilizing $100 million of the program. In addition to the securitization, the Company has other committed and uncommitted facilities including a $40 million secured revolving credit facility that also matures in April 2008. The Administrative Agent and Arranger for that facility is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The other banks participating in the facility are Lloyds TSB Bank PLC, Mellon Bank N.A., Wells Fargo Bank N.A., and Bank of America, N.A. As of January 31, 2006, the Company was utilizing approximately $2 million of this facility. The Company believes that its current financial position, working capital, future cash flows from operations, credit lines and accounts receivable securitization program will be sufficient to fund its presently contemplated operations and to satisfy its obligations through, at least, the next twelve months.
