Universal Express CEO Predicts Increased Share Price When Ill thought ``Naked Short'' Grandfather Clause is Eliminated 10:38a ET December 27, 2006 (Business Wire) Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP), announces that during its recent webcast, Universal Express Chairman Richard A. Altomare, predicted that should the SEC this month eliminate its "Grandfather Clause" protecting uncovered naked short positions, the Company's shares could substantially rise above its present per share price. (To listen to the webcast go to www.usxp.com.)
The Chairman quoted the Company's General Counsel, Chris G. Gunderson, as follows:
"I believe Universal Express' share price could rise far in excess of $2 per share if the SEC eliminates its Grandfather Clause from its Regulation SHO. This would force many hedge funds, private equity funds and other market institutions to cover their gigantic naked short positions in Universal's shares over the last 10 years, by being forced to buy actual shares in the open market.
"Naked shorting is a prevalent scandal of enormous scope for public companies and the future of American trading confidence, especially smaller public companies. This practice involves selling counterfeit shares to buyers which are never delivered. These naked shares were never issued by the Company and are unregistered and counterfeit."
"The Company believes the naked shorting of its shares on each market day over the past 10 years to be in excess of 20 times its outstanding shares, on a regular basis, during this period," concluded Mr. Gunderson.
"The SEC announced this month that it is now being forced to reconsider amending its Regulation SHO in January, 2007 to eliminate the illegal Grandfather Clause. Imagine ruling to ignore thousands of companies' failures, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and billions upon billions of ill gotten gains forgiven while American investors get left picking up after the SEC's neglect. The SEC's Grandfather Clause wants us to pretend these thefts didn't happen! This action to eliminate the clause has been endorsed by many prominent organizations, including the United States Chamber of Commerce and The North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc.," stated Mr. Altomare.
Beginning in 1997, the Company and its Chairman have taken an aggressive public stance against illegal naked short selling with public officials and in many national venues and press releases.
The Company has received in excess of $700,000,000 in judgments for the naked shorting schemes perpetuated against the Company.
The Company is actively pursuing its shareholders' legal options to obtain these funds from those organizations responsible for allowing naked short selling to have become so prevalent.
"During the holiday season, Universal Express heartily endorses 'Santa Claus' but not this ill-thought-out 'Grandfather Clause' which has given American stockholders coal while firms on Wall Street get all of the presents. Our position remains constant. You cannot sell what you do not own," concluded Mr. Altomare.

Universal Express' Division MadPackers Signs Letter of Intent to Purchase Smart Movers Wednesday January 3, 3:37 pm ET
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP - News), division MadPackers announced today the signing of a letter of intent to purchase Smart Movers, a leader in the college shipping and storage industry. Based in the Boston area, Smart Movers has been in operation for over 11 years and services over 23 schools across the northeast. Smart Movers, through its 11-year tenure, has averaged over 3,500 students per year for its shipping and storage services. ADVERTISEMENT
"We are all very excited to team up with an established player in the college services industry and gain 11 years of experience in one year. It is a great opportunity for our young company to continue its aggressive expansion and growth across the country," stated Brian Altomare, President of MadPackers.
The merger between Smart Movers and MadPackers will form one of the largest college shipping and storage companies in the country. MadPackers plans to retain the services and experience of Smart Movers management to continue and assist in the growth of MadPackers.
"With the experience of Universal Express' customer service, logistics, and operations behind us, I am very confidant that SmartMovers will be able to expand MadPackers business and help it become the leader in this fragmented college shipping and storage industry," said Larry Byron, President of Smart Movers.
"With this industry still in its formative phase, the combination of Universal Express' many companies and operation capacities, along with Smart Movers 11 years experience on the front lines of campuses across the country, we will build the foundation and set the tone for the entire college services industry," noted Byron.
"The acquisition of Smart Movers will give MadPackers additional offices in Massachusetts, expanding its already existing operations in Florida and New York City. We will now have local presence in one of the largest concentrated areas for colleges and students anywhere in the United States," said Chris Adamo, Director of Business Development for MadPackers.
"This is a great way for MadPackers to end its first year of operation and bring in the New Year," concluded Chris Adamo.
