Parlux Fragrances, Inc. Completes Agreement for $20 Million Credit Facility


FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - July 23, 2008) - Parlux Fragrances, Inc. (NASDAQ: PARL) announced that yesterday, July 22, 2008, it successfully completed an agreement with Regions Bank ("Regions") for a two-year $20 million senior secured revolving credit facility.


The Regions' asset based credit facility will be used for general working capital requirements, including potential new licenses, and to strengthen the Company's ability to meet seasonal requirements.


Neil J. Katz, Chairman and CEO, said, "Regions is an outstanding financial organization and we are pleased by their confidence. This agreement replaces our existing credit facility at a lower cost. Although we currently have in excess of $20 million in cash and are not utilizing our bank line, the availability of this facility provides additional support to fund our growth."
