Item 1.01  
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 17, 2011, PowerSecure International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) and Branch Banking and Trust Company in their capacity as lenders (the “Lenders”), and Citibank, in its capacity as the administrative agent (the “Agent”). The Sixth Amendment amends that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2007 and previously amended on January 17, 2008, April 18, 2008, November 12, 2008, November 9, 2010 and January 14, 2011 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Lenders and the Agent, to (i) permit the Company to repurchase up to $5 million of shares of its Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to its previously disclosed Stock Repurchase Program, which the Company disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 3, 2011, and its press release issued on the same date and included as an exhibit to such filing, and (ii) exclude any repurchases of its Common Stock under the Stock Repurchase Program from the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in the financial covenants of the Company under the Credit Agreement. Except as amended, the remainder of the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.
The Credit Agreement, as amended by the Sixth Amendment, continues to provide for a $25 million senior, first-priority secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that has been guaranteed by all active subsidiaries of the Company (the “Active Subsidiaries”) and is secured by the assets of the Company and the Active Subsidiaries. The Active Subsidiaries acknowledged and agreed to the terms and conditions of the Sixth Amendment. At November 17, 2011, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the Sixth Amendment does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under such documents, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Credit Agreement and the amendments thereto, including the Sixth Amendment, which are exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
