K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties Warn of Possible Unintended Consequences of Proposition 33 on Los Angeles Housing Market

K3 Holdings

K3 Holdings, a privately held real estate investment firm with extensive holdings throughout the United States and Alpine LA Properties, a leasing company providing newly remodeled apartments at affordable rates in Los Angeles voiced concern today about debate over California Proposition 33. Proposition 33 moves the decision of rent control laws into the hands of municipalities. While the proposal is intended to support vulnerable renters, via rent control and/or vacancy control solutions, many within the real estate and housing industries are raising concerns about its potential impact on housing availability. As municipalities create new legislation and regulations, many of these policies may have unintended negative consequences, especially for low-income families. Some experts are warning that Proposition 33 may result in fewer affordable housing options and discourage investment in new development, exacerbating the city's housing crisis. “As a property management company with deep roots in the Los Angeles community, we are committed to supporting renters and ensuring the availability of safe, affordable housing options,” stated Michael Kadisha, a Principal of K3 Holdings. “We have long been a resource to local leaders and policymakers, offering insights into the needs of renters and the realities of the housing market, and we look forward to further collaboration.” “While we understand and respect the goals behind Proposition 33, we are concerned that its unintended consequences will be harmful to the very communities it aims to protect. Proposition 33 could reduce the supply of housing options, especially for low-income families, by discouraging new development and forcing out existing property owners. This could exacerbate the housing crisis, not alleviate it,” Michael Kadisha continued. “By making it financially untenable for real estate owners and developers to operate, this proposal may inadvertently limit the number of available homes, leading to fewer choices for renters and higher prices in the long term,” Nathan Kadisha a K3 Principal added. “Surely this is not what local leaders, and the community is intending with these proposals.” “Our goal is to remain a partner in crafting balanced, effective housing policies that protect renters while also ensuring a healthy, sustainable housing market. We stand ready to work with city leaders to find solutions that benefit both renters and property owners alike,” Nathan Kadisha continued. While K3 does not endorse or reject any specific legislation and refrains from political involvement, its sole focus remains on building strong communities and helping renters thrive. About K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties are committed to creating strong, vibrant communities through thoughtful property management and a focus on fostering neighborly connections. By hosting community events and providing quality living spaces, we strive to make our neighborhoods places where residents feel a sense of pride and belonging. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with a K3 spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details K3 Holdings/Alpine LA Properties Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://k3holdings.com/

Ohio Pension Funds Sue Boeing and Former Chairman Over Plane Failures

NLPC

Why is former Boeing Chairman Larry Kellner – who led the company’s governance oversight during last year’s infamous Alaska Airlines door plug blowout – now head of the safety committee on ExxonMobil’s board of directors? That’s what a shareholder in both companies – National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) – is asking. And now two pension funds for the State of Ohio are demanding answers from Boeing and its board members (both current and former) about the devaluation of their investment. Attorney General Dave Yost announced Tuesday that he is suing the board of directors for the Washington, DC-based jet manufacturer, “seeking accountability for a pattern of safety and compliance failures that have harmed the company and its investors.” Yost is representing the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System and the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio in the litigation, and accuses Boeing board members of breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to properly oversee the company. The lawsuit alleges the members knew “about the ongoing unsafe practices but even today fail to address them, choosing instead to prioritize profits over safety and regulatory compliance.” Among the defendants singled out by Yost is former Boeing chairman Kellner, who departed from the company under a cloud earlier this year, following the Alaska Airlines incident and other safety failures, in what CNN described as “a complete decapitation” of leadership. Among the allegations pointed out in the Ohio lawsuit about Kellner was that he: served on the board’s Aerospace Safety Committee since 2019; solicited votes from shareholders with other directors who “issued materially false or misleading statements with knowledge of their falsity or reckless disregard for their truth” in both 2023 and 2024; with other directors, “knowingly or with reckless disregard made false or misleading statements of material fact and omitted material information concerning the safety of Boeing’s airplane manufacturing…”; was opposed by proxy advisor Glass Lewis for re-election to the board in 2021 and 2022, “given his role as Audit Committee Chair during the [737] MAX Crashes” in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Yost summarizes the lawsuit against Boeing directors, including Kellner, by alleging they issued “false or misleading” statements “with knowing intent to deceive, manipulate, or defraud.” Yet today Kellner enjoys a soft landing on the board of directors for ExxonMobil, where he chairs the oil giant’s Environment, Safety and Public Policy Committee, with millions of dollars in stock awards and remuneration. This is after Boeing on Wednesday reported a third-quarter loss of more than $6 billion in the wake of the financial, reputational and litigation disaster left behind in the wake of Kellner’s failed leadership. “In the part of his career and experience which is supposed to highlight the majority of his credentials to serve in his current role on ExxonMobil’s board, Larry Kellner has been an unmitigated disaster,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project, an investor in both Boeing and ExxonMobil. “Exxon is not without safety and environmental failures in its history that have cost lives, injuries and destruction. How can it say with a straight face that Mr. Kellner is the best person to oversee the company’s environment and safety policies and practices?” Earlier this year in advance of ExxonMobil’s annual meeting, NLPC filed a proxy memo with the Securities and Exchange Commission, detailing Kellner’s shortcomings for the director role and asking fellow shareholders to oppose his candidacy for the board. NLPC also released a short video in May that highlighted Boeing’s mishaps under Kellner’s leadership. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

ASTRO America’s AM Forward Initiative Receives Final Approval for Private Equity Fund

ASTRO America

Applied Science & Technology Research Organization ( ASTRO ) of America executives will join senior officials from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and Small Business Administration (SBA) at the Pentagon today to mark a major milestone in its “ AM Forward ” initiative. This effort, launched by ASTRO President Neal Orringer and U.S. President Joseph R. Biden in May 2022, accelerates small businesses’ adoption of additive manufacturing (“AM”, or 3D printing) technology to advance key aerospace and defense supply chains across the country. Today’s announcement of final federal approval for the Fund (formally known as the ‘Stifel North Atlantic AM-Forward Fund’) marks a historic moment in the nation’s effort to build, scale and accelerate public-private investments in critical technologies, a key component of AM Forward. This Fund, earning a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) license in partnership with the DOD under the SBIC Critical Technology (SBICCT) initiative, aims to use a range of financing structures targeted to the specific needs of small businesses, with a focus on increasing additive and advanced manufacturing capabilities in the domestic supply chain. The initial investors of the Fund include significant capital commitments from industry-leading companies Lockheed Martin, GE Aerospace, and ASTM International, among others. “Two years ago, we launched AM Forward to build up resilience in America’s key supply chains,” said Neal Orringer, President of ASTRO America. “Our partners– most notably, Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace– have demonstrated what it means to be strong stewards of America’s Defense Industrial Base. Today, we are grateful to have them and two other critical organizations, Stifel North Atlantic and ASTM International, contributing important resources, expertise, and mentorship to support the backbone of America’s economy– small and medium sized manufacturers.” ASTRO leads AM Forward’s implementation– a compact of seven leading companies as well as key federal agencies– focused on helping small businesses expand their adoption of metal 3D printing technology through: access to capital, machine validation processes called “qualification,” and workforce development. ASTRO selected Stifel North Atlantic (NYSE: SF) as the financial partner to support AM Forward’s access-to-capital efforts by managing the Fund, based on its rich history of support for small and middle market companies and extensive experience managing SBIC Funds. ASTRO leadership will remain involved with the Fund as advisors to the Fund’s Technical Advisory Board. “We are pleased to receive this license from the SBA,” said Victor Nesi, Stifel Co-President. “In collaboration with our strategic partners, we are proud to give America’s emerging small businesses the capital and strategic support they need to advance innovation that supports our supply chain, creates domestic jobs, amplifies manufacturing capacity and importantly, increases national security.” Earlier this year, ASTRO America and Stifel North America announced the Fund became the first recipient to receive an initial ‘green light’ to raise private capital under the SBIC Critical Technologies (“SBICCT”) program. The Applied Science and Technology Research Organization of America (ASTRO America) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, non-partisan Research Institute and Think Tank. It was established in 2018 to advance the public interest through manufacturing technology and policy. Led by manufacturing professionals with broad public and private sector experience, ASTRO America supports collaborations by government agencies and companies to address supply chain challenges in highly regulated industries, including aerospace and defense. Established in 1890, with headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, Stifel is a full-service financial services firm with a distinguished history of providing securities brokerage, investment banking, trading, investment advisory, and related financial services to individual investors, institutions, corporations, and municipalities.

Investor Releases Satirical Video Calling for Reid Hoffman’s Removal from Microsoft’s Board

NLPC

Poor judgment that led him to visit [Jeffrey] Epstein Island, asking friends to meet with the late pedophile, and an overwrought obsession with the defeat and downfall of President Trump, are just a few of the reasons why tech investor Reid Hoffman should no longer serve on Microsoft’s board of directors, according to an investor in the company. And now that shareholder, National Legal and Policy Center, has released a satirical video to amplify the case it has made for the last 18 months – that the LinkedIn co-founder is unfit for such a prestigious role with the software giant. Last year NLPC submitted a memorandum to the Securities and Exchange Commission asking shareholders to vote against Hoffman’s re-election to the Microsoft board. The nonprofit investor again called for his removal this year in an additional filing at the SEC, after he told fellow billionaire elites at a Sun Valley, Idaho conference that he wished he had made Donald Trump an “actual martyr,” just days before an assassination attempt was made on the former President in Butler, Pa. “There are plenty of active and generous donors, mostly to left-leaning candidates, on corporate boards in the U.S., but we don’t consider them unfit to serve,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “But with his excessive Trump obsession, dubious political ethics and funding of lawfare, Reid Hoffman is in another class, which should eliminate him from consideration for any public company leadership role.” Microsoft’s annual meeting is scheduled for December 10, and release of the company’s proxy statement is expected before the end of October. Watch NLPC’s video on Hoffman and his role at Microsoft here. For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) Leads Economic Growth as EIRC Initiative Surpasses $500 Million Milestone

Bermuda Business Development Agency

October 10, 2024 – The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is pleased to announce that the Economic Investment Residential Certificate (EIRC) initiative has surpassed $500 million in investments. This milestone reinforces Bermuda’s position as a premier destination for global investors, showcasing the EIRC’s pivotal role in driving sustained economic growth while enhancing the island’s appeal to high-net-worth individuals seeking both exceptional investments and an unmatched island lifestyle. Since its launch in 2021, The BDA has successfully provided concierge services for all EIRC applicants, guiding them through each phase of the process and ensuring a smooth, seamless experience. This tailored approach has been instrumental in driving economic growth, attracting affluent investors from around the world, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Spain. With a minimum investment of $2.5 million, participants gain permanent residency in Bermuda and the flexibility to invest in real estate, new and existing local businesses, Government bonds (previously offered), or social causes. To date, 58 approved applications have driven substantial capital into local enterprises and the property market. The EIRC does however offer more than financial benefits; many certificate holders are drawn to Bermuda because of personal connections, whether through birth, marriage, or long-standing relationships with the island. As a result, these stakeholders are not solely investing capital—they have become part of Bermuda’s community. Data shows that nearly half of a country’s economic growth typically originates from individuals already embedded in the community, and Bermuda is no different. By becoming part of the island’s fabric, these stakeholders unlock even greater opportunities for investment and growth, driving Bermuda’s continued economic success. The Honourable Jason Hayward, Minister of Economy and Labour, commented on the programme's success: "The EIRC initiative has proven to be a vital tool for stimulating economic development in Bermuda. By attracting high-net-worth individuals who are not only investing but also establishing Bermuda as their home, we are creating long-term opportunities for the island. Surpassing the $500 million mark is a significant achievement, and we are confident that the BDA and EIRC programme will continue to contribute positively to Bermuda’s economic growth." Kyle Rogers, Research and Intelligence Manager at the BDA, is also responsible for overseeing the concierge service that supports applicants throughout the entire EIRC process. He ensures seamless management of the certificates, providing crucial guidance from initial inquiry, through comprehensive candidate evaluation, to final approval. He stated, "Reaching $500 million is a testament to Bermuda’s unique offering as both a business hub and an exceptional place to live. The EIRC initiative continues to generate significant value by attracting capital and new residents who are committed to the island’s long-term success. We are excited about the programme’s growth and the bright future ahead." Of the total $500 million investment, $212 million has been directed towards new businesses, $231 million into real estate, $49 million into existing local enterprises, $2.6 million into Government bonds, and $6 million into social ventures deemed beneficial to Bermuda and subject to the Minister’s approval. Jonathan Halata, a developer, investor, and successful EIRC applicant, shared his experience: "As Canadians and Brits, my family has been connected to Bermuda since the 1970s. The EIRC wasn’t just about investing money; it was about building a life for my husband and daughter, and contributing to the community my family has become part of." "My investment in Bermuda extends far beyond financial returns—it's about contributing to the development of premier assets like hotels and tourism infrastructure. Island Realty projects like Azura and Nautilus have brought something unique to Bermuda and created dozens of jobs, which are vital for both airlift and the livelihoods of Bermudians. "I see a direct link between the EIRC programme and Bermuda’s future growth. It’s not just about selling homes—it’s about creating lasting opportunities. Multiplying our experience by 10, 50, or 100 could generate significant new jobs for Bermudians." "The EIRC certificate process was much easier than I expected, especially knowing the complexities with immigration and work permits. The BDA’s white-glove service, with Kyle’s personal attention to detail, made a tremendous difference. They delivered exactly what was promised, with a ribbon on top."

NAVEX Lance « La Conformité en France : Le Guide Ultime »

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, le leader mondial des logiciels et services de gestion de la gouvernance, des risques, et de la conformité (GRC), a annoncé le lancement de « La conformité en France: Le guide ultime ». NAVEX aide plus de 13 000 entreprises à travers le monde à gérer et à atténuer les risques en toute confiance. Les programmes de conformité doivent jouer un rôle crucial quotidien à la fois pour garantir le respect des réglementations et pour cultiver une culture éthique. Le lancement d’alerte étant un élément clé de ces efforts. Jan Stappers, directeur des solutions réglementaires chez NAVEX, affirme: « Les organisations pourraient passer à côté d’opportunités si elles ne disposent pas d’un canal pour alerter les gens des risques ou dangers potentiels. Le lancement d’alerte est la meilleure source d’informations sur les actes répréhensibles réels ou potentiels, mais avec autant de réglementations à respecter, le risque actuel est que les entreprises effectuent des exercices de vérification plutôt que d’adopter une approche plus intégrée. » La première partie du guide offre un aperçu détaillé du paysage actuel du lancement d’alerte en France, y compris une explication du contexte culturel et d’informations sur la façon dont le système français se compare à d’autres dans le monde. Une plongée dans les données de lancement d’alerte montre que les niveaux de signalement français augmentent mais restent bas par rapport aux normes européennes, tandis que les rapports français sont moins susceptibles d’être anonymes et ont tendance à prendre plus de temps à traiter que ceux d’autres pays. De plus, la deuxième partie de ce guide présente le cadre réglementaire français, en mettant l’accent sur les défis critiques de conformité et les questions extraterritoriales qui peuvent être particulièrement difficiles à maîtriser pour les entreprises. Au sens large, le respect de toutes les réglementations existantes est devenu un défi majeur, de nombreuses entreprises ne disposant pas de la bande passante nécessaire pour suivre l’évolution du paysage réglementaire. Enfin, la troisième partie de ce rapport couvre en profondeur les lois et réglementations qui sont importantes pour toute entreprise cherchant à naviguer dans le paysage de la conformité et de l’alerte professionnelle en France. La France et le monde: les principales différences à savoir selon les données de NAVEX La France a un taux de lancement d’alerte inférieur à celui de l’Allemagne ou à la moyenne européenne, avec des niveaux de signalement en hausse mais toujours inférieurs aux normes régionales. Il existe des preuves que les rapports français sont plus susceptibles d’être justifiés, avec plus de la moitié s’avérant vrais contres seulement un tiers qui sont attestés en Allemagne. Les rapports français sont beaucoup moins susceptibles d’être anonymes que les pratiques courantes dans d’autres pays et régions. Seulement la moitié des alertes françaises sont effectuées de manière anonyme, contre plus de deux tiers au Royaume-Uni, ce chiffre n’étant qu’en légère hausse ces dernières années. Il est suggéré que les personnes soulevant des préoccupations aujourd’hui ne le feront que s’ils soient plus confiants et directs dans leurs allégations. Les questions de RH, de diversité et de lieu de travail dominent les rapports en France. Les questions de RH, de harcèlement et de discrimination combinées ont représenté près de deux plaintes sur trois adressées aux entreprises françaises en 2023, tandis que les signalements liés aux conflits d’intérêts étaient les quatrièmes problèmes les plus fréquents et représentaient 10 % des signalements. Cliquez- ici pour télécharger le guide ultime de la conformité en France. À propos de NAVEX Des milliers de clients du monde entier font confiance à NAVEX pour les aider à atteindre les résultats qui comptent le plus. En tant que leader mondial des logiciels et services de gestion intégrée des risques et de la conformité, nous proposons nos solutions par le biais de la plateforme NAVEX One, le système d’information le plus complet du secteur en matière de gouvernance, de risque et de conformité (GRC).

MOU BETWEEN THE U.S. AND PERU PROVIDES A STEPPING STONE FOR MINING COMPANIES AT MINEXPO 2024

Promperu

With the new memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the United States of America (U.S.) and Peru, over 300 delegates -- the largest Peruvian business delegation ever – showed up in force at MINEXPO 2024, the premiere mining conference for the industry. Sponsored by the National Mining Association, it was held recently in Las Vegas. This underscores the importance of the relationship between the U.S. and Peru, a top producer of crucial minerals such as copper, lithium, silver and rare earth elements, essential for manufacturing a range of products, including cell phones, computers, and renewable energy technologies. As the U.S. transitions to green energy, these minerals are vital for producing batteries, electric vehicles, and other clean technologies, potentially saving the country billions in energy costs and enhancing energy independence. “Expanding the supply access to crucial minerals including copper and lithium, both of which are required for green energy technology, is essential,” emphasized Alvaro Silva-Santisteban, the ​ Executive ​ ​ Director ​ of PROMPERU in the U.S., which is the Investment, Trade and Tourism Commission of Peru. “As a result, Peru fortifies its world leadership as a natural location for mining companies seeking to expand production.” The MOU, which was finalized last August, opens the door to more mining opportunities for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and clears the way for the U.S. and Peru to partner on the extraction of a small portion of Peruvian green technologies. “Peru, with its vast reserves of copper, zinc, lithium, and other important minerals, is an invaluable partner for the U.S. as they strive to meet this immense growth in demand,” said José W. Fernández, U.S. Undersecretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, after the signing. The cooperative effort strengthens international investment in strategic resources essential to not only product manufacturing, but green technology as well. “Almost every electric car and smartphone use these minerals, and in Peru, the vast majority of these crucial metals are yet to be mined,” Silva-Santisteban added. “This is a boon for our planet’s future and the Peruvian economy.” According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Peru is the world’s second-largest exporter of copper, ranks third for silver, and holds massive reserves of gold, zinc, and lead. Peru holds more than six tons of lithium reserves and the production of eight crucial ‘green minerals,’ minerals that are needed to support the transition to clean energy technologies, such as iron, lead, molybdenum, indium and graphite. “With the MOU and our participation in MINEXPO, bringing together knowledgeable exporters of services, minerals and machinery, the synergies will create an opportunity that will strengthen foreign investment in strategic resources for green technology, which will lead to even greater international developments,” said Silva-Santisteban. Peru, holding the second-largest ore reserves for both silver and copper in the world, also accounts for substantial global reserves of gold (5.6%), zinc (8%), lead (6.2%), and other metals. Peru has 31 copper projects across 14 regions, representing a potential investment of nearly $39.8 billion. Minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho Mamani, highlighted that Peru holds 11% of the world's copper reserves and that these projects could yield an additional two million tons of copper. ### For more information please visit: www.PROMPERU.gob.pe Contact Details The Hoyt Organization Kelly Reynolds +1 310-343-3197 kreynolds@hoytorg.com
