Stereotaxis Receives Commitment to Increase and Extend Credit Facility

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stereotaxis, Inc. (Nasdaq: STXS) announced today that the Company has received a commitment letter from Silicon Valley Bank for an amended credit agreement that extends its revolving $30 million credit facility to March 31, 2012.  Consistent with the current agreement, the revolving line of credit commitment includes a sublimit of $10 million for advances guaranteed by two current shareholders.  The commitment also provides an additional $10 million term loan that matures on January 1, 2014.

"Our two primary objectives in negotiating an amendment to the facility were to extend the current revolving facility to March of 2012 and to obtain a longer maturity term loan to bridge the Company's capital structure through the repayment of other obligations due by the end of 2011.  This combined facility allows for additional financial flexibility as we continue to focus on driving commercial success of our technology platforms," said Mike Kaminski, Chief Executive Officer of Stereotaxis.

The commitment is contingent upon the Company raising $10 million in additional equity, completion of definitive loan documents and other typical closing conditions as well as the recently completed extension of the $10 million guarantee from two shareholders. Stereotaxis reached an agreement with these shareholders to extend their guarantee through March 31, 2012 in exchange for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Stereotaxis common stock.  The exercise price of these shares will be the greater of 10% above the November 2010 underwritten offering price or the closing bid price on November 10, 2010.

About Stereotaxis

Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospital's interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of coronary artery disease and arrhythmias. The Niobe® Remote Magnetic Navigation System is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, shorter procedure time and reduced x-ray exposure.

Stereotaxis' Odyssey™ portfolio of products provides an innovative enterprise solution for integrating, recording and networking interventional lab information within hospitals and around the world. Odyssey™ Vision integrates data for magnetic and standard interventional labs, enhancing the physician workflow through a consolidated display of multiple systems and eliminating the challenge of interacting simultaneously with many separate diagnostic systems. Odyssey™ Enterprise Cinema then captures a complete record of synchronized procedure data that can be viewed live or from a comprehensive archive of cases performed.  Odyssey™ then enables hospitals to efficiently share live and recorded clinical data anywhere around the world to maximize referrals and promote collaboration.
