Ona Energy Announces Postponement Of Annual Meeting Of Shareholders And Share Consolidation

 VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada /June 3, 2009/ - Ona Energy Inc. (the "Company" or "Ona Energy") announced today that it has postponed its annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders, which was previously scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, to 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Tuesday, June 30, 2009, in order to provide adequate time for the dissemination of a supplement (the "Supplement") to the management information circular of the Company dated May 8, 2009 (the "Circular"), which Circular was filed on SEDAR on May 11, 2009.

The Meeting has been postponed to permit the Company to place before the shareholders a resolution (the "Resolution") approving the consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the Company's common shares on the basis of five old common shares for one new share in the capital of the Company. The Company has 42,296,363 common shares without par value currently issued and outstanding. Any fractional common share(s) resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

The board of directors of the Company believes that the Consolidation is in the best interests of the Company as the reduced number of post-Consolidation common shares will be more appropriate given the Company's current capitalization. It is anticipated that the proposed Consolidation will provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to future financings.
In conjunction with the Consolidation, the Company will change its name from "Ona Energy Inc." to "Ona Power Corp.", or to such other name as determined by the directors and that is acceptable to the Registrar of Companies (British Columbia) and the Canadian National Stock Exchange.

The Supplement will be mailed to the shareholders of the Company and filed on SEDAR concurrent with the dissemination and filing of this news release, and describes in greater detail the Consolidation. A revised proxy (the "Revised Proxy", or together with the Supplement, the "Supplemental Meeting Materials") allowing, inter alia, shareholders to vote "For" or "Against" the Resolution accompanies the Supplement. Only shareholders of record as at May 5, 2009 will be entitled to vote at the rescheduled Meeting and will receive the Supplemental Meeting Materials.

Shareholders are urged to read the Circular previously distributed to shareholders, the Supplement and the Revised Proxy, which contain important information. Shareholders with questions regarding the Consolidation or the Supplemental Meeting Materials should contact John F. Wong, President by telephone at (604) 685-2542 or by email at info@onaenergy.com.

The Company thanks Mr. Morita, who resigned as chief financial officer, for his service to the Company and wishes him well in his future endeavors. John Wong will assume the position of interim Chief Financial Officer.
