OraSure Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release on September 17, 2003, announcing that it has renewed its existing credit facility with Comerica Bank. In September 2002, Comerica provided OraSure with a $10.9 million credit facility, composed of a $4 million line of credit for working capital, a $3 million term loan, a $3 million credit line for capital equipment purchases and expansion, and a $900,000 commercial mortgage. Pursuant to an amendment executed by the parties, the maturity date of the $4 million working capital facility was extended for one year until September 2004, and the $3 million non-revolving credit facility was replaced with a new $4 million non-revolving facility for the purchase of both capital equipment and software. In addition, certain modifications were made to the Company’s financial covenants under the credit facility. The term loan and commercial mortgage were not affected by the renewal. A copy of a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2003, effecting the renewal is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release dated September 17, 2003 is incorporated herein by reference and attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.
