Millennium Capital to Seek World Bank Loan Guarantees for Loans
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - 06/16/11) - World Health Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: WHEN) (Pinksheets:WHEN - News), a public holding company focused on Algae tech and Algae-Biodiesel turnkey projects for the production of biodiesel and fish food for commercial fish farms, announced today that the company signed an engagement letter with Millennium Capital Resources (MCR) LLC to raise up to $100 million in working capital through non-equity financing. As an integral part of the capital raise, MCR is to facilitate the issuance of loan guarantees from the World Bank.
The use of proceeds of the non-dilutive capital raise is to finance planned algae farm projects in India. The projects will utilize the GB3000, an Algae Enhancement Technology used for the efficient production of rapidly growing algae.
Millennium Capital Resources LLC is a project development and financial advisory firm focused on providing institutional equity, secured and mezzanine loan capital, corporate advisory services and merger and acquisition services to middle market companies and to its deal partners.

The firm was founded to provide project development services as well as financial and advisory services to companies operating in the middle-market.
Millennium focuses on private companies with revenues under $500 million, which face a complex and unique set of growth, capital and liquidity issues.

Millennium has a long history in the mining and minerals sector as well as the conventional and alternative energy sectors. Millennium's strengths lie in its complete understanding of the political, permitting, project development and management of all types of mining and energy programs, including their financing, institutional equity investment, secured and mezzanine loans. Millennium's advisory services have included major projects for the corporate and governmental areas.
Michael Fromer is the Founder and Senior Managing Director of Millennium Capital Resources LLC and a Founder and Managing Director Millennium Energy Holdings, LLC. He is a senior executive with 35 years of operating, consulting and project development experience in the mining, minerals and energy sectors, as well as financing expertise in various rust belt industries, including plant development, real estate and the surety industries. He leads a well-seasoned team of investment banking veterans
with years of experience of identifying opportunities for its corporate clients and its investors.
Mr. Fromer has been an owner and operator of coal mining companies located throughout Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Alabama. As a financial consultant, mortgage banker and investment banker, Mr. Fromer has been involved in arranging major financing for mergers and acquisitions, mining and drilling tax shelters, equipment, debt and equity financings in the coal, oil, gas and alternative energy industries and the equivalents in real estate mortgage financings, real estate tax shelters, sales and acquisitions, including construction financings and sales of apartment buildings, factories and various types of industrial plants in the New York tri-state, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Utah regions for large industrial, residential and commercial developers. Mr. Fromer's commercial property financings have included major hotels, shopping centers, parking facilities, office buildings, coal mines, cleaning plants, asphalt plants, quarries and quarry plants.
Jeremy Werblowsky, CFO of World Health Energy Holdings, said, "World Health Energy looks forward to working with Millennium Capital Resources in obtaining the financing, utilizing debt financing and not relying on equity financing. By using non-dilutive financing, World Health Energy is demonstrating its resolve to enhance shareholder value."
