Corby Laura Boorn Executive Vice President, Investor Relations Manager Chief Financial Officer (972) 884-2302 (972) 884-2302 Monday, July 1 2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --------------------- EMERSON RADIO ANNOUNCES DEBT REFINANCING ---------------------------------------- DILUTIVE DEBENTURES TO BE RETIRED AND DEBT TO BE REDUCED BY $5.7 MILLION ------------------------------------- EXTENDS FILING FORM 10-K ------------------------ PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 1, 2002 - Emerson Radio Corp. (AMEX:MSN) announced today it has entered into a financing agreement which replaces and reduces its current outstanding debt. Kenneth A. Corby, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer stated, "Emerson entered into a $40 million Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with a syndicate led by PNC Bank. Under the terms of the Agreement, Emerson established a $25 million Revolving Credit facility and assumed $15 million of Term Loans. Revolving Credit facility replaces its existing facility and provides improved structure and additional borrowing potential necessary to support the growth in Emerson's working capital needs associated with expected increases in revenues. All of Emerson's $20.8 million 8.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures will be repurchased during the next two months using cash generated from operations and the proceeds from the Term Loan. As a result, Emerson's outstanding debt will be reduced by $5.7 million thereby improving Emerson's debt to equity leverage ratio. Additionally, it is expected that dilutive shares associated with the conversion feature of the Debentures will be reduced by 5.2 million shares upon completion of the Debenture retirement and therefore afford shareholders the opportunity for improved earnings per share. The new lending agreement provides for lower borrowing costs and reduced debt levels and is expected to benefit Emerson's earnings." Mr. Corby added, "In order to disclose the terms and effects of the new credit facility in Emerson's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we will file for an extension of time for the filing of such Form with the Securities and Exchange Commission."
