IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Bioenergy Inc., (OTCMarkets:UBRG.PK), a publicly traded independent diversified energy company, that markets and distributes natural gas, propane and coal, announced the Company's Board of Directors is reviewing proposals to reduce its debt, improve shareholder returns and drive the Company toward profitability.

The Company is considering various proposals as part of its plans for growth, positioning itself to be more attractive to institutional investors and in its plans to qualify for NASDAQ or other major stock exchange. The proposals under consideration include greatly reducing or eliminating some or all its debts and liabilities, consolidation and negotiations of some creditors Notes with more favorable terms, and converting some or all of the long debt and liabilities to shares of preferred stock for issuance to the various Note Holders and creditors. This should result in a significant improvement in the Company's Balance Sheet, reduce debt, lower operating costs, improve working capital, improve cash flow, increase profitability and shareholder returns.

Universal's Senior Vice President, Solomon Ali states, "We feel that by taking the actions to reduce our debts and liabilities, this will put us in a stronger position to invest in our future. Many of our existing Notes carry interest rates that are high, and that are above the current market rates. The benefit to the Company is to eliminate the outstanding debt and liabilities owed by the Company, reduce interest expenses, enhance our financial position and strengthen the Balance Sheet. It should also have a very positive affect on the price of our stock, increase its liquidity and improve the market value of the Company. By taking these actions, it should also improve our near term profitability, and allow us to aggressively accelerate our plans for more mergers and acquisitions to grow the Company. This should also be of great benefit to our shareholders."
