PowerVerde Enters Into a Distribution/Manufacturing Agreement with Newton Investments BV of the Netherlands

PHOENIX, Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PowerVerde, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PWVI) today announced signing a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Newton Investments BV, ("Newton") a Dutch-based company, to license PowerVerde's unique renewable 50Kw energy system. The LOI allows Newton to distribute this energy system throughout the 27 countries of the European Union, initially focusing on the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavian countries. Furthermore, PowerVerde has authorized Newton to manufacture this system under a strict licensing agreement with a Dutch/German foundry and machine shop capable of producing hundreds of units per year. Under the terms of this LOI, Newton must sell at least 100 systems in the first year to maintain these exclusive rights for up to 10 years.

In connection with the transaction, a Newton affiliate invested $250,000 in PowerVerde by purchasing 333,333 shares of common stock at $.75 per share, accompanied by a three-year warrant to buy 333,333 shares at $.75 per share.

Piet van der Hoop, President of Newton remarked, "PowerVerde is by far the most efficient and remarkable renewable energy company we have seen. We as a technology company are always looking for exceptional alternative energy opportunities. I have reviewed hundreds of companies over the past 12 years and PowerVerde is among the best. Their waste heat recovery system was demonstrated for us at PowerVerde's Phoenix facility and impressed us greatly. In addition to our licensing agreement, PowerVerde has allowed us to make a sizeable dollar investment in their company. We plan to install up to 300 megawatts of PowerVerde systems over the next 3 years."

PowerVerde Director Rick Davis commented, "This licensing agreement was the right deal at the right time for PowerVerde. We believe that our systems are ready for sale.  Because of Europe's appreciation for green electricity products we felt that a product launch in this region combined with North America later this year was a positive marketing strategy for 2011. The EU respects international intellectual property rights, and we're comfortable making Newton our first non-US licensing partner."
