News Release

Keller Williams Realty, Keller Williams Leaders Sued for Racketeering

Omodt & Associates

(Austin, TX – August 29, 2023) In a far-reaching civil complaint filed today, former Keller Williams President and CEO John Davis alleges Keller Williams Realty, Chairman Gary Keller, former executive Josh Team and Keller Williams-affiliated MAPS Coaching of racketeering and conspiracy to defraud Davis and others through orchestrated schemes to induce, diminish, devalue and cheat Davis and other parties. The suit seeks a jury trial and financial damages in the millions of dollars. The suit pulls back the curtain on Keller Williams’ inner workings to reveal a brazen “why buy what you can steal” culture that Gary Keller and his associates promoted. According to the complaint, Keller is quoted in one email exchange as saying: “Because we’re private, we’re not under a microscope. We can do what we want, any way we want with no penalty.” Under one of the schemes in Keller’s playbook, Davis and other local market center and region owners were defrauded out of millions of dollars by forcing sales of their holdings at deflated values to Keller and his hand-picked buyers. The suit outlines how “KWRI undermines independently owned and operated Market Centers by tortiously interfering with independently owned and operated investment groups, intentionally creating chaos to pit the independently owned and operated Market Centers each other and forcing out Market Center leadership in bad faith for improper purposes, so that in their weakened state, Keller and his associates can demand that a sale be made to them at a price that is criminally low.” “Through this scheme, KWRI itself and the other Defendants suffer no loss, and only gains, from the harm caused to the individual owners. Unless stopped, Defendants will continue to subject franchisees to the same scheme for the purposes of substantial interest and profit,” the complaint alleges. The suit also lays out Keller’s ruthless pursuit of unilaterally altering franchise agreements, including agent commission caps, to enrich himself and his cohorts. Keller’s insistence in lowering caps eventually led to Davis’ voluntary resignation in early January 2019 Indeed, following Davis’ departure, Keller and his cohorts did order the lowering of caps which had the negative impacts Davis warned of, namely a loss for the local market center, a loss for the region, yet a win of KWRI’s royalty fee, which did not change. “Nothing in the individual franchise agreements gave Keller or KWRI the power to set market caps themselves for independently owned and operated Market Centers,” the complaint states. “Indeed, in recommending specific and universal Market Center cap amounts, Keller was overstepping the franchisee’s role in leading an independently owned and operated Market Center.” The filing in The United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Austin Division, outlines five causes of action, including two civil RICO causes, one Sherman Act restraint upon commerce cause, one intentional fraud in the inducement, and one breach of contract cause. ### Media contact: Paul Omodt, Omodt & Associates Critical Communications (for Nesenoff and Miltenberg, LLP) 952-607-9434 paul@omodtandassociates.com Contact Details Omodt & Associates Critical Communications (for Nesenoff & Miltenberg, LLP) Paul G.

REALTORS® share updated home price data, homeowners’ wealth gain trends over the last decade, and a real estate forecast for the rest of 2023

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/iLFi4scvBfQ Given the ever-changing housing market, many Americans are questioning whether it’s a good time to buy or sell a home. Despite fluctuating mortgage rates and limited housing inventory, there are many reasons to consider making a move in the current market. In fact, according to the National Association of REALTORS®: • The national median home price in June was slightly less than the record high of nearly $414,000 in June of last year. Although existing-home sales saw a 3.3% decrease, home prices have held firm in most parts of the country. • While mortgage rates are significantly higher than last year, they are still considered historically low and have remained relatively steady. • Sales in the second half of the year should be notably better than the first half as job gains continue and more favorable mortgage rates are expected. • Existing-home sales are expected to increase by 15.4% in 2024. Moreover, homeownership continues to be a catalyst for Americans to build generational wealth. Over the past decade, the median-priced home in the U.S. gained nearly $200,000 in value, making the typical homeowner 40 times wealthier than if they had not purchased a home or remained a renter. An agent who is a REALTOR® can help you achieve the dream of homeownership and create long-term wealth and financial stability for your family.

NAVEX Enhances Communication with AI-Driven Translations

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, announces the launch of a new NAVEX One platform shared service: dynamic machine translations. This first-to-market addition in the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) space will empower organizations operating across different countries to overcome language barriers, enabling accurate risk and compliance-related communication between employees, third parties and program administrators. NAVEX understands the challenges organizations face in maintaining accurate communication when dealing with sensitive data arising from risk and compliance tasks. Many organizations struggle with language barriers, hindering effective collaboration. With varying language skills among responders, the potential for misunderstandings and misinterpretations can be detrimental to decision-making and compliance efforts – especially in time-sensitive cases. "NAVEX is pioneering the future of machine translations within the GRC space, directly tackling the complexities of multilingual communication," stated A.G. Lambert, chief product officer at NAVEX.

Moreover, administrators can assess third-party entities proficiently, regardless of the languages they speak or the answers they provide. The user-friendly NAVEX One interface makes translating disclosures, evaluations, and responses easy, promoting smooth communication and understanding. "By relying on the broadest and deepest set of cloud services on AWS, including Amazon Translate, NAVEX is able to use machine translations within the governance, risk and compliance space, directly tackling the complexities of multilingual communication,” stated Venky Nagapudi, Senior Product Management Leader, Amazon Translate, AWS. “The work between NAVEX and AWS makes it easy to translate disclosures, assessments, and responses, leading to better communication and faster resolution." Key benefits of NAVEX One machine translations include: Multilingual support: The system supports 75 languages, facilitating seamless communication with stakeholders worldwide. Accurate and reliable: Powered by advanced neural network technology, the feature ensures precise translation of critical information. Streamlined workflow: The translation functionality integrates seamlessly into existing GRC workflows, saving time and effort for administrators and responders. Cost-effective translations: Organizations can deliver faster results and decrease operational costs by reducing the need for external translation services. Data privacy: Advanced technical and physical measures, including encryption at rest and in transit, are used to prevent unauthorized access or sharing of content. Incorporating a dynamic machine translation service highlights NAVEX's continued commitment to fostering innovative solutions throughout the NAVEX One platform.

Safe & Green Holdings sees strong growth in financial numbers as company planned spinout moves forward

Safe & Green Holdings Corp.

Safe & Green Holdings Corp CEO Paul Galvin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strong financial performance. Galvin shared that the company achieved a notable 21% year-over-year increase in manufacturing revenue during the second quarter. This growth builds on the positive momentum the company has experienced over the past several quarters. In terms of revenue, Safe & Green Holding Corp generated $5.1 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the discontinuation of COVID-19 testing facilities. However, this decline was partially offset by increased core manufacturing revenue. The manufacturing services segment played a significant role in this growth, with a 21% increase in revenue compared to the previous year. Galvin emphasized that the second quarter of 2023 saw considerable expenses related to the expansion of SG DevCo and Safe and Green Medical Corp. Notably, SG DevCo is set to be spun off into an independently listed Nasdaq company, with a projected record date of August 21. Galvin highlighted SG DevCo's robust project pipeline, exceeding $800 million in value and encompassing more than 4,200 units to be developed. The company's ambitious goal of developing 10,000 units over the next seven years is expected to fully utilize the in-house manufacturing capacity, promising significant value creation for shareholders.

Harvest Thermal Earns Inclusion in CEC Title 24 Compliance Software

Harvest Thermal

The electronic rulebook of Title 24 compliance for energy now includes Harvest Thermal’s smart thermal battery solution as an efficiency option. The California energy code for new construction and major remodels is becoming increasingly challenging to meet. Architects, homebuilders and remodelers need more cost-effective solutions to include in their projects. Harvest Thermal offers project developers a climate-friendly and cost-effective tool to meet code requirements. Its unique thermal battery solution uses a single heat pump for both heating and hot water. The smart Harvest Pod leverages cheap, clean electricity to store heat at midday while releasing it to the home whenever needed. Smart controls optimize for homeowner comfort while delivering up to 45% lower energy costs and 90% carbon reductions compared to gas. “Harvest Thermal’s inclusion in the CEC Title 24 database is very significant for architects, homebuilders and remodelers,” said Pierre Delforge, Head of Product and Operations at Harvest Thermal. “They will see outsized benefits with significantly lower EDR scores, lowering their costs and improving the performance of their buildings.” Building plans submitted for permitting must achieve scores at or below the Energy Design Rating (EDR) compliance threshold as calculated by the CBECC-Res compliance software. Plans that include Harvest Thermal get extra credit, lowering both Efficiency and Total EDR scores, and helping to avoid other more costly measures. Harvest Thermal also qualifies for the new California Electric Homes Program (CalEHP) for all-electric new construction, bringing more value to homebuilders’ projects. The technology fits into recognizable floorplans, enabling developers to seamlessly integrate Harvest into their designs. For more information on how to incorporate Harvest Thermal into the CBECC-Res database as a combined heat and hot water system see the instructions in this presentation.

Its market-leading thermal battery system cuts carbon emissions by 90% from home heating and hot water compared to gas and 50% compared to heat pumps without storage. The cloud-connected Harvest Pod leverages machine learning software, sensors, and controls to reduce carbon emissions and save on monthly heating bills. It also supports a cleaner, cheaper, and more resilient grid. Founded in 2019, Harvest Thermal has received support from the National Science Foundation, the California Energy Commission, Peninsula Clean Energy, and leading private investors.
