By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, July 15 - Able Energy, Inc. said it has completed a private placement of convertible debentures for $2.5 million.

The variable-rate debentures mature in two years, pay interest at Libor plus 400 basis points and are convertible into common shares at $6.50 each.

The investors will also receive warrants for 192,308 common shares, exercisable at $7.15 each for five years.

If the company conducts a financing under which it sells securities at a price lower than the conversion price of the debentures, Able may redeem the debentures at 125% of the face value plus interest.

The investors also have an additional investment right, exercisable for nine months after a registration statement is declared effective, for up to $15 million in convertible debentures and warrants for up to 50% of the shares issuable upon conversion.
