UNIVERSAL POWER ANNOUNCES 2010 ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING RESULTS

CALGARY, Sept. 13 /CNW/ -- CALGARY, Sept. 13 /CNW/ - Universal Power Corp. (TSX-V: UNX) ("Universal" or the "Company") held its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") in Calgary, Alberta on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. All resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting were duly passed.
Among the business of the Meeting, shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the articles of the Company and change the name of the Company from "Universal Power Corp." to "UNX Energy Corp." and to continue the Company from British Columbia to Alberta. The change of the Company's name and the continuance of the Company into Alberta are expected to occur in the middle of September, subject to regulatory approval.
"With our new name and branding, we more clearly represent an upstream oil and gas company," said Gabriel Ollivier, President & CEO of Universal Power Corp. "We believe that the name UNX Energy Corp. is a more accurate reflection of our business and will become synonymous with Namibia's burgeoning oil and gas industry as we help unlock the country's significant exploration and development potential."
