Global Future City Holding Purchases Powerdyne Regional Center an Eb-5 Regional Center Approved by the USCIS for $250,000

Global Future City Holding Inc. (OTCQB: FTCY) (the "Company") announced the purchase of Powerdyne Regional Center LLC ("Powerdyne Regional Center"), a designated EB-5 Regional Center approved by the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service ("USCIS"). The aggregate purchase price for 100% of the membership interest of Powerdyne Regional Center is $250,000.00, of which $125,000.00 was funded on March 27, 2015. The balance will be paid in five quarterly installments of $25,000.00 with the payments due on April 1, 2015, July 1, 2015, October 1, 2015, January 1, 2016 and April 1, 2016. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2015 which describes the acquisition in detail.

Congress created the EB-5 program in 1990 to benefit the U.S. economy by attracting investments from qualified foreign investors. Under the program, each investor is required to demonstrate that at least 10 new jobs were created or saved as a result of the EB-5 investment, which must be a minimum $500,000 if the funds are invested and are at "risk" in certain high-unemployment or rural areas. In 1992, Congress enhanced the economic impact of the EB-5 program by permitting the designation of Regional Centers to pool EB-5 capital from multiple foreign investors for investment in USCIS-approved economic development projects within a defined geographic region. Today, approximately 95% of all EB-5 capital is raised and invested by Regional Centers.

An EB-5 Regional Center is an organization, designated and regulated by USCIS, which facilitates an investment in job-creating economic development projects by pooling capital raised under the EB-5 immigrant investor program. Regional Centers can be publicly owned, (e.g. by a city, state, or regional economic development agency), privately owned, or be a public-private partnership. Regional Centers use economic analysis models, including those developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, to demonstrate that job creation targets required by law have been achieved. For investments made through Regional Centers, at least 10 direct, indirect or induced jobs must be created.

Mr. Pei, who will be the new CEO and Chairman of the Company once the previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") is closed with Sky Rover Holdings Ltd. ("Sky Rover"), which negotiated and arranged the financing for the Powerdyne Regional Center purchase. Mr. Pei stated "I arranged for the purchase and funding of the EB-5 Regional Center prior to the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, because I felt the opportunity to use my international contacts as well as the 4,000,000 EGD crypto-assets deposited upon closing of the SPA was uniquely positioned to take advantage of large real-estate developments currently under negotiation. We will support the real-estate developments with investment from foreign investors through the EB-5 program which creates jobs and supports the U.S. economy."
