NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - December 23, 2009) - Vertro, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ VTRO ]) today announced that it has entered into a new credit facility agreement with Bridge Bank N.A., a subsidiary of Bridge Capital Holdings (NASDAQ: [ BBNK ]). The facility is for up to $5 million with availability determined by a number of factors. At December 1, 2009, Vertro would have been eligible to draw down approximately up to $2.0 million under this line of credit.

Vertro entered into its original agreement with Bridge Bank N.A. on November 7, 2008. This original agreement was amended following the sale of the Company's MIVA Media division in March 2009. The agreement announced today was structured around the Company's continuing operations.

"We're pleased to have negotiated this new facility and with the continued confidence of Bridge Bank in our financial strength and long term outlook," commented Peter Corrao, Vertro's President and CEO.

"The negotiation of this financing agreement is another important step as we continue to solidify our financial position. We believe our international marketing tests and ongoing product development strategy could provide us with significant growth opportunities, and that having this credit facility in place could enable us to more effectively capitalize on these opportunities. The Company has no immediate plans to draw down on its new credit facility."
