MMC Energy, Inc. Announces Inquiry

New York (ots/PRNewswire) -

MMC Energy, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MMCN) today announced that
it has learned that 1.0 million shares issued pursuant to a 12.0
million share private placement MMC consummated in May 2006 were
purchased by an entity controlled by Louis Zehil, who at the time of
the purchase was a partner of MMC's external legal counsel for the
transaction, McGuireWoods LLP. MMC believes that Mr. Zehil improperly
caused MMC's transfer agent not to place a required restrictive
legend on the certificate for these 1.0 million shares and that he
may then have caused the entity to resell some or all of these
shares. MMC currently has a total capitalization of 48.1 million
shares.

MMC learned of these circumstances in connection with its work on
a registration statement to permit resale of the shares issued in the
private placement. MMC has reported this matter to the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is working with its advisors to track the 1.0
million shares and take other action as may be appropriate. MMC has
been advised by McGuireWoods LLP that the firm also reported this
matter to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
