Universal Bioenergy Announces It Is in Advanced Contract Negotiations With Energy Trading Firm to Sell Over $100 Million in Energy Contracts

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 26, 2014) - Universal Bioenergy Inc. (OTCQB: UBRG), a publicly traded independent diversified energy company, announced that it is in advanced contract negotiations with an energy trading firm for a major joint venture to generate substantial long-term revenues for the Company through the sales and financial trading of natural gas, electricity, petroleum and related energy contracts.

In its plans for growth and expansion, the Company is planning to form a strategic alliance with the energy trading company, which has its own energy trading desk, to generate higher revenues, margins and earnings. The Company is projecting that an estimated $100 million in revenues could be generated through the joint venture from the financial trading from the energy contracts, and the estimated profits could be from 2% to 20%, or an estimated $2 to $20 million.

Due to recent changes in part to the sweeping Dodd-Frank financial regulatory overhaul, and the Volcker Rule, the Company is positioning itself to take financial advantage of the new opportunities in the marketplace for financial trading of energy contracts. Both parties are in advance contract negotiations to finalize the terms of the joint venture, its scope of operations and then proceed with a definitive agreement. 

Universal's Senior Vice President Solomon Ali says, "We are very excited about this strategic alliance in the financial trading of natural gas, electricity and petroleum. We are in an aggressive pursuit this year to increase our margins and generate strong profits for the Company. We believe this should have a very positive effect on our stock price and the future value of the Company. We are moving forward very expeditiously with the contract negotiation process and to complete our due diligence process."

The final terms and conditions of the transaction will be determined in the definitive agreement, which is subject to, among other things, final due diligence by Universal Bioenergy, and other conditions, and approvals by both companies' management and board of directors. No assurances can be provided that a definitive agreement will be executed.
