SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FriendFinder Networks Inc. (NasdaqGM: FFN) ("the Company"), a leading internet and technology company providing services in the rapidly expanding markets of social networking and web-based video sharing, in response to an inaccurate article posted on Bloomberg on Thursday, August 30, 2012, wishes to clarify that it is currently in compliance with, or has waivers for, all loan covenants.

Although subsequently corrected, Bloomberg initially reported that "Bondholders have given the Company until Nov. 14, 2012 to raise cash…"  The Company has received no such demand or notice from its bondholders.  FriendFinder was either in compliance or had waivers for all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2012.

FriendFinder Networks further states that its first-lien notes do not mature until September 2013 and that it is currently in discussions with bondholders regarding options to refinance its debt.
