The Bank of New York, Calyon New York Branch and Citizens Bank of
Massachusetts, as co-agents.
?We are pleased with this increased level of
commitment from our banking partners,? said

our strong balance sheet and substantial cash flow from operations, and
provides us with additional liquidity and flexibility. As we enter 2007,
we remain focused on generating excellent returns for our shareholders,
through the execution of new investments, repayment of existing
indebtedness, or the repurchase of our common stock, as appropriate.?
AMG is an asset management company with equity investments in a diverse

ability to complete pending acquisitions, the investment performance of
our Affiliates and their ability to effectively market their investment
strategies, and other risks detailed from time to time in AMG's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reference is
hereby made to the ?Cautionary Statements?
set forth in the Company's Form 10-K for the
