On August 17, 2006, La Petite Academy, Inc. (“La Petite”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LPA Holding Corp. (“Parent” and, together with La Petite, the “Issuers”) entered into new senior secured credit facilities. The new senior secured credit facilities provide for a five-year $20.00 million revolving credit facility, a six-year $110.00 million delayed draw first lien term loan facility and a seven-year $85.00 million delayed draw second lien term loan facility. Approximately $48.25 million of the new first lien term loan facility was used on August 17, 2006 to repay the Issuers’ existing senior secured credit facilities. The remaining $61.75 million of the new first lien term loan facility, plus the entire $85.00 million second lien term loan facility, are expected to be used to finance the Redemption (as defined below) of the Notes (as defined below) on the Redemption Date (as defined below).

Also on August 17, 2006, the Issuers issued a voluntary Notice of Redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the 10% Senior Notes due 2008 (the “Notes”) and Section 3.03 of the Indenture dated as of May 11, 1998, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, among the Issuers, LPA Services, Inc. and Bright Start, Inc. (the “Guarantors”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (successor to PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association), as Trustee (the “Indenture”), to redeem (the “Redemption”) all of their outstanding Notes on September 18, 2006 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest up to the Redemption Date. As of the date of this report (and prior to giving effect to the Redemption), $145.00 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes were outstanding.
