POWERSECURE ADDS $25 MILLION LONG-TERM DEBT FACILITY

—Also extends existing $20 million revolver through 2016—

WAKE FOREST, N.C. – June 20, 2013 – PowerSecure International, Inc. (Nasdaq: POWR) today announced it has taken advantage of the very favorable interest rate environment to secure a new $25 million, seven year term debt facility.

The company plans to execute interest rate swaps to achieve a fixed interest rate, which it estimates will be in the 3.7 to 3.9 percent range given current market rates, on a majority of the term facility’s principal amount. In addition, the company has extended its existing $20 million revolving debt facility through 2016. There is currently nothing drawn on this revolver.

These actions provide the company with up to $45 million of low-cost, long-term debt capacity to support its growth and future investments in company-owned distributed generation systems, additional utility services equipment, potential acquisitions and working capital.

“Our strong performance has provided us the opportunity to capitalize on the historically low rates in the debt markets, substantially lowering our overall cost of capital and providing additional flexibility to accelerate the growth of our company-owned distributed generation assets,” said Sidney Hinton, chief executive officer of PowerSecure.

The facility is backed by Citibank and BB&T.

As is customary with facilities of this type, the company must continue to meet certain financial covenants in order to be in compliance with the terms of the underlying credit agreement and to fully utilize the facility. The terms and a copy of the facility extension, which was accomplished through an amendment of the company’s credit facility, are contained in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
