PCMA

PCMA, the pioneer and leading voice in Non-Bank Private Client Lending, announces the expansion of our High Net Worth Lending services to the state of Texas - Company NMLS ID: 237710. The expansion of Private Client Lending into Texas highlights the extraordinary growth of PCMA and the continued growth in the Texas luxury housing market. The number of Texas estates that sold for $1 million or higher from November 2020 to October 2021 increased 89.6% compared to the previous reporting period to 11,980 sales, according to the 2021 Texas Luxury Home Sales Report. The annual report examining housing statistics for homes that sold for $1 million or higher across the state showed total sales dollar volume reached $19.9 billion, a 93.3% increase from the previous year. While the number of luxury home sales accounted for less than 3% of all homes sold in Texas, the dollar amount represented 13% of all residential sales dollar volume across the state. “Everything is bigger in Texas, including the sales of luxury homes. With lower tax rates and more housing options it is easy to see why luxury home sales in Texas have increased by over 13% in the past year,” said John R. Lynch, CEO and Founder of PCMA. “Last year over 90% of the homes sold for a million or more were sold in Austin, Dallas and Houston totaling over $20 billion dollars in sales. With statistics like that, it is undeniable the migration to Texas is not a fallacy” PCMA’s expansion into the Texas market comes on the heels of both internal and external growth of the company. PCMA continues to experience an unprecedented growth of high-net-worth originations at a record pace as we enter 2022 even in the face of rising interest rates. In recent months PCMA has added to its already impressive C suite bench, and is continuing to expand its direct and indirect origination channels. “Luxury home sales in Texas are a key component of the real estate markets health. Only 3% of home sales were categorized as luxury, but that 3% represented 13% of all residential sales dollar volume,” said Lynch. “Our entrance into Texas with the full offering of our product suite will help High Net Worth households unlock liquidity, acquire additional assets, and lock in long term debt in a manner not available in traditional private banking relationships.” About PCMA PCMA is a vertically integrated Asset Origination and Convexity Management firm that specializes in Structured, Super Prime, Non-Agency, Private Client Credit.

ECI Development, Marriott Break Ground on New 202-Key Oceanfront Hotel & Residences in Ambergris Caye, Belize

ECI Development

ECI Development today announced that it broke ground on a new Marriott branded hotel and residences on the island. Designed for travelers seeking a relaxed Caribbean lifestyle, the Belize Marriott Ambergris Caye Resort and Residences will be built on Ambergris Caye, Belize’s largest island known for its world-class scuba diving, fishing, water sports and white sandy beaches. “Now that we’ve seen an uptick in travel, we’re excited to begin building the new Marriott branded hotel and residences ECI Development is bringing to Ambergris Caye, one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful island destinations with famed access to the Belize Barrier Reef and dive sites,” said Michael K. Cobb, Chairman and CEO of ECI Development. “ECI has been creating inspired lifestyles for adventurous souls across Latin America for more than two decades, but we are particularly focused on this project and the opportunity to deliver a top-quality hotel and residence option from a treasured global brand.” The hotel, along with the Marriott Hotels-branded residential component, saw the first shovels of dirt turned January 14. The project will fuse old-world British charm and modern amenities while keeping an eye towards the heritage and history of Belize. ECI plans as many as 70 privately-owned branded residences as a part of the 202-key oceanfront resort. “We are excited to welcome the first Marriott Hotel to the beautiful shores of Belize,” said Laurent de Kousemaeker, Chief Development Officer, Caribbean & Latin America, Marriott International. “The Belize Marriott Resort and Residences of Ambergris Caye will be a stand out and attract travelers from around the world. As we continue to grow in Latin America, what a stunning location along this beautiful stretch of beach on Ambergris Caye to plant the Marriott Hotels brand flag.” "We welcome the Belize Marriott Residences of Ambergris Caye to the increasing number of new and modern brand name hotels in Belize. We are confident that the Belize Marriott Residences will be a partner in our sustainable brand of hospitality and sustainable tourism development. It is in partial fulfillment of our Plan Belize agenda, and testament to our promise that Belize is Open for Business," said Prime Minister of Belize, Honorable John Briceño. "I have every confidence that the Marriott will be a tremendous success in Belize." “Now available to this incredibly diverse and expansive market, Belize’s rich culture and unique attractions will be marketed to a discerning audience seeking both the thrill of a new place and the comforts of the familiar,” said Evan Tillett, Director of Tourism at the Belize Tourism Board (BTB). “Employees will also benefit through training and developing skill sets that will allow them to undertake a greater variety of work. There is always room for improvement and learning, and with specific goals and requirements under a brand, their abilities and skills will flourish.” Guests will have access to first-class restaurants, a rooftop lounge, conference and event space, a spa, fitness center and retail outlets. Amenities will also include a dive shop to cater to the island’s many visitors who come to explore the Belize Barrier Reef – the largest reef system in the northern hemisphere and a UNESCO World Heritage designated site. “As Belize continues to emerge as a top tourist and business destination for world travelers, the Belize Marriott Ambergris Caye Resort and Residences will contribute to the positive evolution of one of the jewels of Central America,” said Brian J. King, President, Caribbean & Latin America, Marriott International. “All of the best things seasoned travelers have come to expect from Marriott destinations around the globe will be brought to serve our guests on Ambergris Caye. That’s why we’re very excited to welcome this new hotel into Marriott International’s family of resorts as well as our Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program that boasts more than 160 million members worldwide.” With tourism accounting for 33.2% of Belize’s GDP, and approximately 40,000 jobs – or 30.1% of total employment, the positive economic impact of tourism from a trusted hotel brand like Marriott extends well-beyond the jobs created at the property. “The construction of the Belize Marriott Ambergris Caye Resort and Residences is a welcome respite to the Belize tourism industry after the devastation the pandemic has wrought worldwide. An anticipated 100+ jobs will be required during construction, and upon completion, close to 300 full-time employees will be needed for the oceanfront hotel. What’s more, the economic benefits will reach far beyond the hotel property as owners and guests participate in water sports like diving and snorkeling, explore Mayan ruins and shop for art, woodcrafts, and other souvenirs,” said Briceño. “From the farmers deep in the western villages providing fresh produce, to souvenir artists across the country, to the families who receive remittances from direct tourism service providers, the financial benefit to Belizeans will be immeasurable.” ECI Co-Founder and Chairman of Caye International Bank, Joel Nagel built upon Prime Minister Briceño’s comments stating that the hotel planned to work with local farmers, manufacturers, and craftsmen to supply much of the initial construction and ongoing supply needs for the hotel. “Our company has been a solid corporate citizen in San Pedro for nearly 30 years. We constantly strive to engage the local community in business, philanthropy, and all types of community service and engagement, including the creation and founding of the San Pedro Rotary Club,” said Nagel. “We believe that all ships rise with the high tide and we want the Marriott hotel to be another important engine for economic development and growth for San Pedro and for all of Belize.” In addition to the many economic benefits this project will bring, corporate social responsibility has been a priority for ECI from its founding. The company works tirelessly to ensure that the communities surrounding each project receive direct support through a variety of initiatives and partnerships. Since 2021, ECI has been directly involved with ACES Wildlife Rescue on Ambergris Caye, championing the wildlife organization’s efforts in the conservation and protection of Belize’s native wildlife and their habitats. Education Directors and Wildlife Rehabilitators Chris Summers and Christina Manzi can often be found rescuing animals, even the tamanuas, as well as rehabilitating mangroves along the coastline. “In 2021, the mangrove reforestation along stretches of beach and lagoon waters became a priority, as mangroves are critical for marine wildlife. That’s why ECI Development and Marriott International will continue full support of these critical habitat efforts long into the future,” said Ricardo Calo, Area Vice President, Marriott International, who will directly oversee the new hotel and residences. ***Hotel renderings and photos of the groundbreaking event available upon request.*** # # # About ECI Development ECI Development is a real estate developer working in Central and Latin America creating inspired lifestyles for adventurous souls.

Chicago Heights Glass Sues Reflection Window & Wall for Patent Infringement of Talon Wall® System

Chicago Heights Glass

Chicago Heights Glass, Inc., a longstanding leader in commercial high-rise façade construction in the Chicago metropolitan area, and related entities recently filed a multi-count, federal patent infringement lawsuit against former employee Joel J. Phelps and Reflection Window & Wall, LLC (RWW), and others. The plaintiffs, including Chicago Heights Glass, Inc., Talon Wall Holdings, LLC, and Entekk Group Ltd., patented a revolutionary exterior aluminum and glass wall construction system for commercial buildings, known as Talon Wall®, which greatly reduces the labor, material, and installation costs for curtain wall systems on high-rise buildings. They are marketing and installing it nationwide. The Talon Wall system is stronger, less expensive, and easier to install than traditional façade systems. According to the lawsuit, Phelps and RWW have created and have installed a knock-off building façade called “Uwall or “U-8000” that incorporates the patented Talon Wall system. The lawsuit further alleges that the defendants knowingly violated the Talon Wall patents. Contracts to construct exterior façade walls for commercial medium and high-rise structures are frequently worth $5-50 million. The lawsuit seeks damages and asks the court to enjoin the defendants from using the patented Talon Wall System. According to the lawsuit, additional contracts to use the knock-off system have been proposed by the defendants for planned high-rise buildings in Chicago and elsewhere. For many years, high-rise buildings have been enclosed in aluminum and glass facades using systems developed decades ago. Chicago Heights Glass Inc. President Kurt LeVan invented the Talon Wall system, which differs significantly from traditional methods by attaching prefabricated glass and aluminum panels to the building floor slabs in a unique fashion. Installing prefabricated aluminum and glass panels this way makes them stronger, easier to fabricate, and easier to install by much smaller work crews. The Talon Wall system is therefore superior to and dramatically less expensive than traditional methods, and the Talon Wall system has become the preferred standard for many high-rise construction projects. The lawsuit alleges that former Chicago Heights employee Phelps left the company abruptly in June of 2020. According to the lawsuit, he had substantial knowledge regarding the technical details, advantages, and market opportunities for the Talon Wall system. The lawsuit also states that Phelps was obligated to return certain materials to Chicago Heights but failed to do so. The lawsuit adds that armed with the confidential information about the Talon Wall system, Phelps was promptly hired by RWW, a direct competitor. The lawsuit further alleges that: “With full awareness that the Talon Wall System was a patented and superior product to anything being offered by RWW, Phelps both individually and in his capacity as an executive officer of RWW, along with RWW, created knock-off systems.” The lawsuit also names as defendants several construction companies and building owners, including: Pepper Construction Co., Provident Group UIC Surgery Center, LLC, LendLease (US) Construction Inc., 1400 Land Holdings, LLC, and others. According to the complaint, the UI Outpatient Surgery Center located at 1009 South Wood Street in Chicago was built with the knock-off system, and a new building at 1400 South Wabash is under contract to use the patent-infringing system. LeVan devised and developed the Talon Wall System over a period of years and went through the rigorous U.S. patent process. The company will continue to vigorously defend its intellectual property against such violations, including against contractors and building owners that use it. Chicago Heights Glass, Inc. is a privately owned specialty manufacturer and subcontracting firm located in the southern Chicago suburbs that specializes in commercial construction projects. More information on the company is available at www.chicagoheightsglass.com. The lawsuit can be downloaded here and at www.LawsuitPressRelease.com. Contact Details LawsuitPressRelease.com John P.

GENERATION INCOME PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF STARBUCKS PROPERTY UPREIT TRANSACTION

Generation Income Properties

Generation Income Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIPR) (“GIP” or the “Company”) announced the acquisition of a 2,600 SF single-tenant retail building in Tampa, Florida for total consideration of approximately $2.2 million. The building is occupied by Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) which holds an investment grade credit rating of BBB+ on the Standard & Poor's scale. The property was placed under contract with 0.5 years remaining on the current lease term and annualized base rental income of approximately $135,000, although the tenant exercised their 5-year lease renewal option during diligence, giving the tenant approximately 5.5 years remaining on the current lease term and a 10% increase in base rental income effective in March 2022. Additionally, Starbucks has communicated to GIP that it may be investing approximately $450,000 in the store for improvements, adding additional credibility to GIP’s overall investment thesis. The Company funded the acquisition with the issuance of approximately $1.1 million of operating partnership units of Generation Income Properties LP (the operating partnership subsidiary of GIP) priced at $10/unit convertible on a 1-to-1 basis to GIPR common stock, and debt of approximately $1.1 million. David Sobelman, CEO of GIP, stated, "I have been involved with this asset since the building was converted to a Starbucks roughly ten years ago. I developed a meaningful relationship with the contributor at the very beginning of my real estate career and fostering relationships is paramount to our corporate culture and success. This transaction and the other recently announced assets that we are pursuing are testament that our core company values lead to benefiting all stakeholders. We are honored that the contributor sees long-term value in GIP by contributing an asset to our growing company." The UPREIT structure generally allows current owners of a property to defer paying income taxes on the transfer of property to an operating partnership owned by a REIT, while providing the option to convert ownership in the partnership into shares of the REIT.

Fermata Energy Raises $40M in Recent Fundraising Round, Led by Carlyle

Fermata Energy

Fermata Energy, a leading vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology services provider, announced today it has raised $40 million in investments to accelerate the company’s growth. "When I set out to create a company that accelerated the adoption of EVs by making them more affordable, while at the same time fortifying the electric grid, I did not imagine how quickly this technology would take off, and how important our technology would prove to be, particularly in light of climate change," said founder and CEO, David Slutzky, "I could not be more pleased by the recent round of fundraising and projects we now have in operation. Each partner brings unique, strategic benefits, and we are thrilled to leverage those in the coming months.” V2X technology enables electric vehicle (EV) integration with the continued growth in renewable energy into the electric power grid. Fermata Energy’s V2X technology provides essential energy storage to the power grid to facilitate the transition to renewables and provides revenue generation capabilities for vehicle and fleet owners. To transition to a clean energy economy, abundant energy storage must be deployed quickly and at scale. Investment from our new partners, including funds managed by global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) and Verizon Ventures, will allow Fermata Energy's next-generation bidirectional EV charger and accompanying proprietary software to be ready to dispatch power from stored energy in EV batteries directly back into the grid, building, or home. This functionality turns EVs into energy storage resources, and in the process, unlocks and monetizes the massive energy storage potential of EVs. “Bidirectional charging technology will become essential as electric vehicles increasingly become a key component to global decarbonization,” said J.B. Oldenburg, a Managing Director specializing in renewables investing at Carlyle. “We are proud to partner with Fermata Energy to accelerate the deployment of its bidirectional offering and believe Carlyle’s broad network and expertise in business development will help jumpstart the company’s growth.” In July 2021, as part of their participation in the 5G Studio, a collaboration between Verizon and Newlab, Fermata Energy's V2X energy management software successfully leveraged Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network to react to changes in the grid based on near real-time data and with near-zero latency. Through this partnership, Fermata Energy was connected to Verizon Ventures, the corporate strategic investment arm of Verizon that finds and funds the 5G future. "Distributed energy use and storage continue to grow in importance, in part due to the fast-growing EV space,” said Kristina Serafim, Managing Director of Verizon Ventures.
