New Client Increases Revenue and Growth Opportunity for GES

NEW YORK, NY - (NewMediaWire) - June 21, 2016 - Global Arena Holding, Inc. (OTC PINK: GAHC), (the "Company") announced today that the Company's subsidiary, Global Election Services, Inc. ("GES"), has increased its 2016 revenue potential with the addition of a new client -- a major Union in Hawai'i -- furthering GES' visibility within the marketspace.

Mr. John Matthews, CEO of Global Arena Holding, Inc., said, "To their credit, the management of GES works really hard to continuously add new clients to its portfolio. What makes this particular piece of new business so exciting however, is the size, location, and most important, the expansion opportunity offered to both GES and Global Arena Holding. We will explore the possibilities that emerge from this election; assisting GES with leveraging the relationships and technologies that are introduced during the process."

Management indicated, the primary excitement around GES running an election for a prominent Hawaiian union is not simply due to an increase in revenue, but the strategic business relationship likely to develop with a well-known industry vendor. Should all go well, GES will have a unique opportunity to rapidly advance its business strategy and further develop the scope of its product and service offering.

Mr. Matthews concluded, "As I've mentioned in the past, we are truly enthusiastic about our future and can say once again, with a fair amount of confidence, we will far surpass our 2015 achievements."
