First Quarter Stock Dividend Declared by Rapidly Expanding City Capital Corporation

FRANKLIN, TN--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 23, 2007 -- City Capital Corp (OTC BB:CCCN.OB - News) board today approved a stock dividend, to be awarded in the form of five shares of stock for every 100 shares owned at the end of business April 30, 2007. City Capital has experienced dramatic growth since Ephren Taylor assumed the Chairman and CEO roles in early 2006. During Taylor's first full year as CEO, shareholder value increased 865%. At year-end 2006, the company showed a 305% total net asset value return.

In Q1 2007, two profitable energy assets were added to City Capital's wholly owned subsidiary Goshen Energy portfolio; a producing offshore gas well with approximately 8 billion cubic feet of natural gas reserves that has recently been upgraded to increase pumping capacity 50%; and an oil well with estimated crude oil reserves of 600,000 barrels. In addition, City Capital signed a Letter of Intent to acquire & develop the Peregrine Falcon subdivision in Kansas City, Kansas. The company also shed its status as a Business Development Company (BDC), allowing it more flexibility to pursue quantum growth, and retired over $190,000 of debt with the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Perfect Turf.

Announcing the Stock Dividend, City Capital CEO Ephren W. Taylor II said, "City Capital is on an upward trajectory and we believe this dividend is just the first result of our efforts to enhance shareholder value." Taylor became known nationally for becoming the youngest African American CEO of a publicly traded company when he assumed control of City Capital in 2006. "The board recognized that the recent expansion of our company's assets which dropping the BDC status is allowing, combined with the success of our overall growth plan, made this dividend an obvious decision."
