The company will use proceeds to repay its $10 million senior secured term loan, scheduled to mature in December.

Xinergy Corp. is controlled by Jon Nix, founder and a significant shareholder of National Coal.

National Coal said the deal allows it to focus on higher-margin assets.

Shares rose 34 cents, or 4.9 percent, to $5.15 during premarket trading after closing at $4.91 on Monday.
