Xinergy Ltd. receives new US $20 million financing commitment

Xinergy Ltd., (TSX:XRG) ("Xinergy" or the "Company"), a Central Appalachian coal producer, announced today that it has secured a US $20 million financing commitment from affiliates of Bayside Capital Inc. ("Bayside") on behalf of various funds under its management ("Lenders"), replacing a commitment previously obtained by the Company on July 27, 2012. The financing commitment contemplates a US $20 million first lien senior secured term loan facility that the Company can draw in two tranches of $10 million each, bearing interest at a rate of 9.875% per annum and having a four year term.

 In consideration for the financing commitment, Xinergy has agreed to issue to the Lenders five hundred thousand common share purchase warrants with a five year term and a strike price of CDN $1.20 per share.  Upon closing of the first $10 million term loan, the Company would issue to the Lenders an additional 450,000 common share purchase warrants with a five year term and a strike price equal to $1.40 per share, and upon closing of the second $10 million term loan, the Company would issue to the Lenders an additional 350,000 common share purchase warrants with a five year term and a strike price equal to $1.60 per share.

The Bayside financing commitment expires on December 31, 2012, and provides for the issuance of the second $10 million tranche up to one year following issuance of the first $10 million tranche.

Matt Goldfarb, Xinergy's CEO, commented: "We are pleased to have secured new committed senior secured financing that we expect will provide significantly increased flexibility and lower effective carrying costs relative to our prior committed senior secured financing."

Moelis & Company acted as capital markets advisor to Xinergy in connection with the financing.  Closing of the financing is subject to customary closing conditions, and issuance of the warrants is subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval.
