Hooper Holmes Closes $25 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., October 11, 2006 -- Hooper Holmes, Inc. (AMEX:HH) today announced that it has arranged a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $25 million with the Asset Based Finance division of Citigroup's Commercial Business Group. Initial pricing on the facility is at the base rate, defined as the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its base rate, or LIBOR plus 1.75 percent. The facility will mature three years from closing, subject to earlier acceleration or termination in accordance with the loan documents. Borrowings under the facility are to be used for general working capital purposes. Currently, Hooper Holmes has no debt outstanding.

"We believe this new credit facility represents an endorsement from the capital markets and a commitment of support," said James Calver, Hooper Holmes' President and CEO. "In addition, the facility will provide us with increased liquidity and financial flexibility."
