FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - January 7, 2009) - Tri-Star Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ TSHL ]) announced the company has executed definitive agreements with UC Hub Group, Inc. (OTCBB: [ UCHBE ]) regarding the sale of the company's mining assets and contracts to UC Hub Group, Inc. UC Hub will issue $3.8 million of its common stock to Tri-Star in consideration for the assets and contracts conveyed under the agreement. Tri-Star management stated that it in turn will distribute 100% of the UC Hub shares directly to the Tri-Star shareholders.

"This transaction is to the best benefit of Tri-Star shareholders," said Tri-Star President Anthony Mellone. "In addition to retaining their position in Tri-Star, each shareholder will receive a pro rata dividend in a transparent, fully reporting company better suited to more rapidly capitalize on the potential of the collective mining assets, with new, more efficient technologies for metals recovery. Indeed, many shareholders will realize a multiple of earnings in return on their investment in Tri-Star Holdings upon receipt of the pro rata dividend, with only a six month restriction on the UC Hub shares," he concluded, citing that this means the $3,800,000.00 of UC Hub common stock will be divided evenly by the shareholders of the issued and outstanding shares of Tri-Star Holdings.

Tri-Star Holdings, Inc. shareholders of record on January 30, 2009 will receive the dividend shares relative to their number of Tri-Star shares held as of January 30, 2009 (the closing date of the UC HUB/Tri-Star Agreement). The dividend's distribution date will be determined and announced in the near future.

Additionally, Tri-Star management stated it is in negotiations with multiple undisclosed mergers and acquisitions targets in the medical industry that it intends to announce later this week following the execution of customary non-disclosure/Letter of Intent documents.
