Item 8.01 Other Events

Since November 2011, the Board of Directors of PowerSecure International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has authorized a stock repurchase program (“Stock Repurchase Program”) providing for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”). The current authorization of the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program is $5 million, which authorization is, as of the date hereof, fully available through December 2014. The Board of Directors’ Stock Repurchase Program authorization specifies the maximum dollar amount but not the maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be repurchased. Repurchases of shares can be made from time to time in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Program are determined in the discretion of the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

Following the recent conclusion of its standard post-quarterly earnings release black-out period, and in light of the prevailing price of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company intends to immediately commence making repurchases of shares of its Common Stock under its Stock Repurchase Program, in amounts and at times as management deems appropriate. In addition, the Company currently intends to explore options to expand and extend its Stock Repurchase Program, subject to requisite consents and liquidity limitations, although there is no assurance of any such future expansion and extension.

Sidney Hinton, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is unable to individually purchase any additional shares of Common Stock until August 2014 due to certain short-swing profit restrictions under the federal securities laws that apply to Mr. Hinton, due to his recent transfers of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a separation/divorce agreement as part of the division of marital assets in conjunction with his pending divorce, which transfers of shares were previously noted in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 23, 2013.
