ALOY Alloy (MM)

Alloy, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOY), a nontraditional media and marketing services company primarily targeting the 10 to 24 year old demographic group, announced today that since August 30, 2006, holders of approximately 98%, or $67.9 million principal amount, of its 5.375% Senior Convertible Debentures (the �Debentures�) have converted their holdings into Alloy and dELiA*s, Inc. (�dELiA*s�) common stock. As a result of the conversions, approximately $1.4 million principal amount of the Debentures remains outstanding and Alloy has issued approximately 2 million shares of its common stock. Matt Diamond, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, �We are very pleased with the effect these conversions have had and will continue to have in our financial statements. These conversions have created approximately $27 million in value for our shareholders, based on the debt retired less the value of the Alloy stock issued and cash premiums paid. Our free cash flow has also improved as a result of our future cash interest expense being reduced to only $75,000 on an annual basis from $3.7 million at the beginning of our last fiscal year.� Mr. Diamond added, �We continue to believe that the Company, with its projected improvement in EBITDA and free cash flow, its strong cash balance and its low debt, is strategically well positioned to create additional value for our shareholders.� In addition to Alloy and dELiA*s issuing the requisite number of shares required pursuant to the Indenture under which the Debentures were issued, Alloy also paid each of those holders varying cash premiums for agreeing to convert their Debentures. Accordingly, related to these conversions, Alloy has recorded an expense in its third quarter financial statements of $15.8 million and will be recording an expense in its fourth quarter financial statements of approximately $1.9 million. These charges are comprised of the cash premiums paid to holders, the write-off of the unamortized balance of deferred debt issuance costs attributable to the Debentures and other costs of the transactions. For the third fiscal quarter, Alloy�s additional paid-in capital on its balance sheet increased by approximately $57 million and, assuming no future conversions, will increase by approximately $11 million in its fourth fiscal quarter.
