JAMES PAUL CHEUNG LIGHTWEIGHT CASHMERE SCARVES NOW FEATURE WORKS OF ART

James Paul Cheung

Following a successful career, James Paul Cheung made the audacious decision to leave finance for fashion in 2017. For nearly a decade, he has continued the legacy begun by his mother who ran a small cashmere shop in La Jolla, California. A driving force in the industry, Cheung has created a strong following in the Hamptons, where the business is based, as well as throughout the country and the world. He is a creative thinker who is always searching for ways to elevate simple luxuries and take them to the next level. Forever a fan of the arts, Cheung got the idea to collaborate with a capsule of artists and create their work as luxurious wearable art. The idea is to celebrate art in a unique way. "Perhaps a client is an art lover who wishes to share their passion with those they meet, now they can by owning a piece of art as a wearable, inspiring lightweight, luxury cashmere scarf," says Cheung. For the 2023 spring/summer season Cheung has collaborated with two talented female artists, Carolyn Marks Blackwood and Angela Maritz. Marks Blackwood is a photographer who has spent her life looking at paintings. Her work is part of a movement known as Pictorialists, a group of photographers who created a style of photography based on painting rather than on documentation. Inspired by Color Field painters, and artists like Rothko and Newman, Blackwood focuses on images that have strong verticals or horizontals and which tend to fill the whole optical field. For Angela Maritz, her paintings are about the moments when she felt free to unleash her raw emotions through paint. These moments silenced her mind and from this state, a deeper connection to herself and her inner joy was born. Angela's intention is that her art does the same for you. Quietens your thoughts, conjures up your memories, emboldens you, inspiring purpose-filled living. Thus creating positive change in the world through art. James Paul Cheung Cashmere began as a pop-up in the Southampton salon of Kevin Maple. The demand for his light-weight cashmere was overwhelming and in 2018 he opened his own shop in Bridgehampton. Following the pandemic, Cheung joined Curated by Thuyen in East Hampton, where his designs are currently available. The luxury brand stands by ethical, sourcing and partners with suppliers that share those beliefs. Cheung embraces design, and sustainability principles that result in high-quality products that use traceable, renewable, and recycled materials, and are resilient and long-lasting. All of his scarves are 100% pure cashmere – seasonless, lightweight like a summer breeze and easy to wear.

The American Contender Tournament West, Central and East Regional Semi-Finals attract qualifiers from both coasts as well as the Central United States to compete in the re-imagined tournament style format in hopes of making it all the way to The Crown Jewel of Rodeo™ - The American Rodeo 2024. In 2023, more than 2,500 rodeo athletes competed across the country to vie for a chance at the $1 million bonus on the line if they made it to The American Rodeo, earning impressive money along the way. Guaranteed prize money is upwards of $540,000 for the Regional Semi-Finals and Finals. Further enhancing competitive opportunities for rodeo athletes, three lucrative American Contender Tournament Open Team Ropings will run concurrent with each of the American Contender Tournament Regional Semi-Finals events in January 2024. “Winning at the West Regional Finals earlier this year helped me tremendously in my rodeo career and life,” said Bailey Bates, a Native American Breakaway athlete, who won in Heber City, Utah. “A lot of finances add up while on the road competing. Winning a big check goes a long way to help with finances while chasing dreams.” Acquired by Teton Ridge in late 2021, The American Rodeo, celebrating its 11 th year in 2024, features competitors in all eight traditional rodeo disciplines - barrel racing, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, team roping, tie down roping, bareback riding, saddle bronc and bull riding.

I was able to live a dream of mine, which was priceless.” Just under 100 Event Qualifiers lead to automatic qualifications or points toward the Regional Semi-Finals in January 2024: WEST - January 11-13 in Las Vegas, Nevada at South Point Arena & Equestrian Center CENTRAL– January 18-20 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at Jim Norick Arena EAST– January 25-27 in Lexington, Kentucky at AllTech Arena For more information on The American Contender Tournament, schedule of qualifying events and how to register as an athlete, please visit www.americanrodeo.com. ### About The American Rodeo: The American, is an annual Western sports and entertainment experience that occurs each year and represents the richest single-day event in all of western sports.

Minuteman Press in Nashville, TN Completes Exterior Full-Wrap Rebranding of the Iconic Grand Ole Opry House Music Venue

Minuteman Press International Inc

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Grand Ole Opry House, owned by Ryman Hospitality Partners, is one of the most legendary music venues in the USA. Thanks to Minuteman Press franchise owner John Taylor and his team at Minuteman Press in Nashville, the face of the Grand Ole Opry House now looks as good on the outside as the music sounds on the inside. What started out as a sales call and business cards order ten years ago has evolved into a trusted branding partnership between Minuteman Press in Nashville and Ryman Hospitality, and the result of that partnership includes incredible projects like this one – the full-wrap exterior rebranding of the Grand Ole Opry House. Minuteman Press in Nashville is located at 415 Spence Lane, Nashville, TN 37210. John Taylor has owned the business since January of 2014 and is a member of the President’s Club for top performers across the Minuteman Press franchise system. John shares key details on working to complete this huge project on such an iconic venue. How did the project with the Grand Ole Opry come about? John Taylor: “We acquired them as a client about ten years ago. It originated with a sales call at the original The Ryman Auditorium, in downtown Nashville. The first order was a few sets of business cards. Their parent company is Ryman Hospitality. Working inward through the marketing department at Ryman Hospitality, a relationship developed. They have a lot of printers, but we stayed in touch, cross-selling where possible. Ultimately, we set them up on an online portal ordering system for their printed collateral and admin items for their various brands. We make it a habit to deliver all prospects our "Portfolio Thumb-drive". It is branded Minuteman Press and goes to them pre-loaded with our most impressive projects in categorized folders. That led to us becoming one of their trusted branding partners, I would like to say their preferred branding partner. We've done projects from Nashville to New York City for them as they open new venues.” What specifically did you do for this project? John Taylor: “We have done multiple projects at the Grand Ole Opry House. Regarding this project: It is an extraordinary surface, in that it is stamped concrete. It is made to look like a ‘rough-cut cedar’ wooden surface, with deep woodgrain and over a half-inch depth difference between the faux planks. There are two installation processes in this type of project. One is to install and register the panels together (58" wide panels). The second process is to heat and press the vinyl into the grain and contours with a heat gun/torch and foam hand roller, roughly 4" at a time. We measured, scaled and templated the whole project. We printed the vinyl on an HP 360 Latex printer, then laminated the vinyl on a GBC roll laminator (3M IJ-480 Vinyl with 3M 8520 Matte Overlaminate). We used our 55' boom truck and a rented 45' boom lift to install. The first team and truck would hang and register the vinyl. The second lift would have a heat gun, a torch, and roller to get into the grain, and a single installer with very tired arms. We blocked off an area to work every morning so tours could still safely operate every 30-60 minutes. We installed in close coordination with the security team every day and evening to avoid periodic live shows in the evenings altogether." What was the timetable / what did it take to complete the project? John Taylor: “The exterior, as all large branding projects do, began with an intense set of measurements and a write-up of all inclusions and challenges with the surface(s). We then created an Illustrator template for their art department, advising best practices and highlighting any areas to which they should pay special attention during design. The timetable was roughly 7 weeks, synopsized below: We surveyed the first week and provided them a template for artwork technicals and construction. It took them 2-3 weeks to develop art, get the individual artists' approvals, and the necessary internal management approvals. We removed the old banners and aluminum hardware, as well as prepped/cleaned the building during that period. I asked for 7-10 days to produce the vinyl. It took about a week to print, laminate and cut. We should have been able to install it in roughly one week with a crew of three. It ended up taking two weeks since the Grand Ole Opry has shows every couple of days, which limited our time (we had to be packed up and out of the way by 3 pm). The weather was also a factor." TIME LAPSE VIDEO: Full-wrap rebranding of the face of the Grand Ole Opry House – Spring 2023 – Minuteman Press, Nashville: How happy are you with the completed project? What has been the feedback you’ve received? John Taylor: “I'm extremely happy with it. I really am humbled and honored to be given the opportunity. Now, for the less-than-humble perspective; it was an intense scope of work... and we got the job done! We've had only positive feedback about this installation and people are loving the new face of the Grand Ole Opry House. My favorite reaction was from a security guard that said, ‘I haven't seen this many people stop and have their pictures taken in front of the building in years and years!’. He's been there over 15 years, so that was so gratifying to hear him say that.” John concludes, “To have our hard work appreciated, especially on such a large-scale project, it’s just a great feeling of accomplishment.” For Minuteman Press products and services and to find your local Minuteman Press, visit https://minuteman.com.

Grand Havana Inc. Shareholder Update

Grand Havana, Inc.

Grand Havana Inc. (OTC: GHAV), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Grand Havana Masters, LLC, Grand Master Brands, LLC, and GH Hospitality Group, LLC is excited to inform our investors, banking partners and institutional players about the future of our company through this Shareholder update. Financials In publishing our 2022 year-end and Q1 2023 financial reports GHAV has made clear that the new administration, spearheaded by H&H Coffee Group and its many subsidiaries and partners, has embraced a new vision, and is executing on the promise of a streamlined public vehicle and revenue generation. Legacy debt has been nearly eliminated as of this release, unnecessary corporate spending and superfluous balance sheet elements have been dramatically reduced, while revenues and net profits are increasing across business units. As Mr. Julio Sera, Director notes “GHAV is making money! GHAV is paying its debts! GHAV is investing in the future of sustainable coffee production and distribution!” Green Coffee Focus Our green coffee sourcing partners Beneficio de Café, S.A. (SOLCAFE S.A) and Hernandez Hernandez Export y CIA Ltda (H&H Coffee), are helping GHAV leverage a vast infrastructure of specialty coffee farms and processing mills in Nicaragua along with partnerships with growing cooperatives and a global client base. The H&H Group of companies along with GHAV are invested extensively in the productive capacity and industrialization required to guarantee quality coffee flows. The SOLCAFE board emphasizes that “the SOLCAFE/H&H partnership not only provides a steady volume of commercial grade coffees, but also gives GHAV access to RFA/OCIA, organic, Fairtrade, Bird Friendly and UTZ certifications among others, that are in high demand by major consuming countries globally due to sustainability initiatives”. Nowhere is this new focus on specialty green coffee distribution more evident than in GHAV’s recent importing of SHG RFA certified containers for a prominent green coffee company. Mr. Alain Piedra, Chairman and President highlights “deliveries on these new supply contracts (with revenues estimated in the tens of millions of dollars) have already begun and will increase over the coming quarters as the 2023-2024 global coffee year commences in Q4 2023”. Roasted Coffee B2B and B2C roasted coffee sales are yet another revenue generating unit for GHAV. One of the primary ways GHAV is leveraging its green coffee sourcing partners, is by providing high quality raw beans to our network of roasters for a cost effective “tree-to-cup approach” that will maximize shareholder value and drive revenue growth further. The Board is anticipating that roasted coffee sales will increase volumetrically and cement the Grand Havana brand in its primary markets with major US brokers, multinational distributors, and US grocery chains. Other Initiatives GHAV continues to make progress on closing the Land Venture as described in an early February 2023 press release. The acquisition will provide the company with a massive asset base of over 75 acres of premium land in the heart of South Miami, as well as fully operational agriculture and nursery businesses that complement the administrations core competencies and expertise. Lastly, the company will begin making strides on Investor Relations plans that will support our Shareholders and keep them duly informed as GHAV grows. About Grand Havana, Inc. Grand Havana is a coffee company headquartered in Miami, Florida, “The Capital of Espresso in the US.” Through our subsidiary, Grand Master Brands, LLC we are a global distributor of the finest green coffees that include not only commercial grade but also premium certified offerings such as Rainforest Alliance, organic, Fairtrade, UTZ, Bird Friendly among others. Grand Havana roasted coffee products are distributed by Sysco, Ambassador Foods and Amazon.
