WARREN, Mich. – Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: AACC), a leading purchaser and collector of charged-off consumer debt, today announced the completion of a new senior secured credit facility. The new facility was led by a syndicate of banks with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and RBS Citizens N.A. acting as lead arrangers. Berenson & Company, LLC served as the Company’s financial advisor.

Rion Needs, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are extremely pleased to announce this new credit facility, which substantially improves our financial flexibility, allowing us to further execute on our long-term growth strategy. We now have additional liquidity available to pursue our growth initiatives through expanded purchasing and collections capabilities and a continued focus on enhancing operational efficiencies.
