Perficient Announces Expanded and Enhanced Credit Facility

AUSTIN, Texas, June 2, 2008 – Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT) a leading information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced an expansion of its credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and KeyBanc Capital Markets.

This new bank facility provides access to up to $75 million in borrowing capacity on attractive terms. That, combined with the fact that we have no debt, $15 million in cash on hand, and strong operating cash flows puts us in a great position to finance acquisitions or repurchase stock. Unlike our old credit facility, the new line permits stock buybacks of up to $50 million, which would more than accommodate our previously announced $10 million stock repurchase program.”

Jack McDonald and Jeff Davis have an impressive track record and the company’s performance speaks volumes of its effective leadership and ability to execute,” said Stuart Edwards, senior relationship manager of Silicon Valley Bank’s Central Division. “We’ve been working with technology companies like Perficient for 25 years and have been the company’s banking partner since its inception. It’s exciting to be a part of its growth and we look forward to continuing to provide Perficient the financial solution it needs to fuel its success.”

John Brock, Managing Director and head of KeyBanc Capital Market's Technology Group, commented: "We are delighted to provide a new, more flexible credit facility for Perficient. We continue to be impressed with Perficient’s record of execution and we are pleased to accommodate the company's recent growth, future acquisition plans, and other capital needs. We view this as another example of our ability to deliver a breadth of products and services to support fast-growing technology leaders."
