WAYNE, Pa. (November 13, 2006) -- Kenexa® (NASDAQ: KNXA), a leading provider of talent acquisition and retention solutions, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of BrassRing, a leader in on-demand talent acquisition software. Originally announced October 6, 2006, the acquisition of BrassRing extends Kenexa's ability to deliver global human capital management (HCM) products and services.

 “Together, we expect that Kenexa and BrassRing will intensify its operational strength through the combination of our respective R&D, product management, and services teams.  Most of all, this merger means that our customers will have access to an even more expansive suite of products and services, as well as an intensified global support network," said Rudy Karsan, Kenexa’s Chief Executive Officer.

Kenexa financed the approximately $115 million purchase price for the acquisition through a combination of cash and $65 million in borrowings under a new $75 million credit facility that the Company entered to in connection with the closing of the transaction.
