EXERCISE RIGHT EXPIRES: 6:30 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME
FEBRUARY 19, 2006
 
To the Holders of
Warrants Originally Issued May 3, 2004 by
Metretek Technologies, Inc.:
     NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to the provisions of the Warrants originally issued on May 3, 2004 (the “Warrants”), by Metretek Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company hereby exercises its right to call the Warrants by requiring the exercise of all of the outstanding and unexercised Warrants on or before 6:30 p.m., New York City time, on February 19, 2006 (the “Call Date”). The Company shall have the right to repurchase, in cash, any Warrants that remain outstanding and unexercised after the Call Date at a price equal to $.01 (the “Call Price”) multiplied by the number of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company into which such unexercised Warrants would have been exercisable (the “Warrant Shares”). All conditions to and requirements for the Company’s right to call the Warrants at this time have been satisfied.
     Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.41 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events, at any time until 6:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Call Date, and the Warrants will remain exercisable pursuant to their terms until such date and time. The resale of the Warrant Shares by the holders of the Warrants is registered by the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-116155 and Registration No. 333-96369 (the “Registration Statement”), and covered by the prospectus included therein dated November 21, 2005 (the “Prospectus”).
     The Common Stock is listed and traded on the American Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “MEK”. On January 18, 2006, the last sale price of the Common Stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange was $9.99 per share. The Warrants are not publicly traded and are not listed on any stock exchange or stock market.

 


 

Alternatives Available to Holders of Warrants
     As a result of the Warrant call by the Company, Warrant holders have the following alternatives with respect to their Warrants:
    Holders may exercise their Warrants until the Call Date. Until 6:30 p.m., New York City time, on February 19, 2006, the Call Date, Warrant holders may exercise their Warrants by purchasing shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $3.41 per share. The Warrant Shares may either be held for investment or sold under the Prospectus.
 
    Holders may deliver their Warrants to be redeemed for cash after the Call Date. After the Call Date, any Warrants that remain outstanding and unexercised will be redeemed by the Company at a Call Price of $.01 per Warrant. All Warrants outstanding after 6:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Call Date will be deemed to be redeemed by the Company, whether or not they have been surrendered for redemption. However, Warrant holders must surrender their Warrants to the Company to receive the Call Price.
     Holders of Warrants are urged to consult with their own tax, business and other advisors concerning the tax, business and other consequences of the exercise, sale or redemption of their Warrants.
