Flash ‘Puts Parking on the Map’ with Google Search, Google Maps, and Now Waze

Flash

Flash today announced the full U.S. release of reservable parking transactions in Waze that Flash developed in collaboration with the popular navigation app. Waze joins Google Search and Google Maps in Flash’s growing portfolio of integrations which features parking options with Flash across all three major platforms, including many of the world’s largest parking operators and owners. Together, Flash and Waze set a new standard for how drivers find and pay for parking at 30,000 parking locations in North America. When drivers enter their destinations in Waze, the app now suggests nearby reservable parking locations. Drivers can see important details for selecting their preferred parking location such as cost, amenities, wheelchair-accessibility and valet options. Drivers can reserve and pay for the parking location they choose, and Waze will route them to the selected parking destination where they can access the parking facility with a digital pass. “Driver behaviors and expectations are shifting, and our efforts to embed reservable parking and charging experiences with leading apps and platforms anticipated that shift,” said Dan Roarty, Chief Digital Officer at Flash. “We can help parking asset owners and operators meet drivers in the apps and sites where they plan their travel and bring an end to the era of circling blocks, wasting time and fuel in the search for parking.” Early results prove that allowing drivers to book parking directly in the search and navigation apps they use most is a win for parking owners and operators. Over 90 percent of these drivers are new customers to the parking locations. They make Google parking reservations 8.5 hours in advance and at a median distance of 22.3 miles away from their destination. These customers plan ahead through digital services and trust the navigation apps they already use. “This is an exciting time in the parking industry as Flash continues to partner with Parkway to make our customer experience more seamless and integrated than ever,” said Robert Zuritsky, Parkway President and CEO. “Parkway is thrilled to see reservable parking at our locations made available through these services. Flash understands our business and continually innovates to deliver new channels and capabilities that drive additional customers and transactions to us.” Flash’s integrations with Waze, Google Search and Google Maps unify operators’ availability and pricing data and performance metrics across these Google properties. These properties join Flash’s growing integration footprint alongside existing relationships with Ticketmaster, hundreds of major event venues and automakers like Mercedes Benz and Hyundai. Flash’s flexible developer tools and payment configurations support the integration of Flash experiences into a wide range of interfaces, from desktop and mobile browsers to mobile apps, connected car dashboards and enterprise applications for employee parking and fleets. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem. Flash’s platform connects reservable parking and charging in the apps drivers use every day with garage, surface lot, event, and valet parking locations — connected and controlled via a cloud-based operating system with unrivaled intelligence. Customer-obsessed brands partner with Flash to deliver digital, easy-to-use, reliable, and increasingly frictionless experiences to drivers eager to pay for a solution that eliminates wasted time, excess emissions, and stress from driving. The solution has arrived. Visit www.flashparking.com to learn more. Note to the editor: Find b-roll footage and animation of the user experience in Waze for use at the included links. A list of selected reservable parking options for landmarks in major cities is available by request.

CPREX Enters Orlando Market with Acquisition of Fully-Leased Industrial Property

Clarion Partners

Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (“CPREX” or the “Fund”) announced today it has acquired Regional Airport Center II, an 81,762-square-foot industrial building located in Orlando, FL that is 100% leased to 11 tenants. Clarion Partners, the third largest owner of industrial real estate in the U.S., has been active in the industrial and logistics sector for more than two decades. The firm maintains strong conviction in the sector, with this purchase bringing the total amount of industrial space owned by CPREX investors to more than 33% of the Fund 1, and Clarion’s total U.S. industrial footprint to approximately 256 million square feet. “The purchase of Regional Airport Center II, well-located approximately five miles west of the Orlando International Airport in the Southeast Orange County submarket, brings Clarion’s overall industrial investment in the broader Orlando market to 29 buildings and over five million square feet,” said Managing Director Brent Jenkins. “Clarion also has nearly three million square feet of industrial projects in its development pipeline in the Orlando area.” Clarion is part of Franklin Templeton’s alternatives business, which spans a broad range of strategies, including real estate, private credit, hedge funds and secondary private equity and co-investments with approximately $255 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2024. Clarion Partners serves as CPREX’s sub-adviser and Franklin Templeton through different entities serves as the adviser, administrator and distributor of the Fund. “CPREX’s overarching goal is to provide individual investors access to Clarion’s longstanding institutional platform through a simple, accessible, and transparent structure registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,” said Product Specialist Ali Winrow. “Positive net investor inflows over the past 18 months have enabled the fund to not only bolster its liquidity, but also leverage its flexible investment mandate through new equity and debt investments. Quarterly tender requests over the past 18 months have averaged about 1.7% of net asset value (NAV). Tender requests peaked in the second quarter of 2023 at 2.9% of NAV, remaining well below the 5% of NAV liquidity offered to investors in every quarter since the Fund’s inception.” In addition, CPREX maintains a daily value backed by one of the most robust valuation policies in the industry whereby each investment in its portfolio is valued by a third-party appraiser monthly and adjusted for income daily so that the stock price equates to the underlying value of each asset.

Please refer to the important disclosures at the end of this presentation. Investment Risks: All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Liquidity Risk Considerations: The Fund should be viewed as a long-term investment, as it is inherently illiquid and suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no more than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee these repurchases will occur as scheduled, or at all. Shares will not be listed on a public exchange, and no secondary market is expected to develop. Shareholders may not be able to sell their shares in the Fund at all or at a favorable price. Risks related to investment made by the Fund: The Fund’s investments are highly concentrated in real estate investments, and therefore will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including but not limited to local, state, national or international economic conditions; including market disruptions caused by regional concerns, political upheaval, sovereign debt crises and other factors. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks. The Fund and/or its subsidiaries employ leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if an underlying fund’s investments decline in value. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities fall. High-yield bonds possess greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. Before investing, carefully consider a Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.

K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties Congratulate Team USA for Winning Paris Olympics Medal Count

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, congratulated Team USA for their outstanding performance in the Paris Olympics. Following more than two weeks of competition and lifetimes of preparation, athletes representing the United States won 126 medals (40 gold) leading all other countries at the conclusion of the games in Paris. "Congratulations to Team USA for showcasing the true spirit of excellence and determination, bringing home the most medals and making us all proud,” stated Michael Kadisha, a Principal of K3 Holdings. "Winning the most medals is a triumph of skill and perseverance, and more so, a testament to the unity and resilience that define the American spirit. Dedication, hard work, and a never-give-up attitude leads to greatness, and we are all inspired by the performance of our athletes in Paris.” "In sports, as in life, the way we handle victory says as much about us as the victory itself. Gratitude and humility elevate every achievement. Winning with grace and losing with dignity are the hallmarks of true champions,” Michael Kadisha continued. “The K3 Holdings and Alpine teams were impressed at how Team USA proved themselves to be real winners by celebrating their victories while honoring their opponents with respect and gratitude.” The Olympics serve as a unique platform where nations from every corner of the globe come together in a spirit of friendly competition. Beyond the medals and records, the Olympics foster an environment where cultural exchange and mutual understanding thrive. In a world often divided by differences, the Olympics create a space where adversaries can engage in dialogue, learn from one another, and find common ground through shared values of sportsmanship and respect. "The Olympics is a powerful testament to how people from diverse cultures and backgrounds can come together to achieve greatness," stated Nathan Kadisha, a K3 Principal. "The actions of Olympic athletes in Paris show us that dedication, perseverance, and mutual respect transcend borders and ideologies. These are the values that can truly unite us and drive real change beyond the games." “We are excited that Los Angeles will be hosting the Olympics four years from now,” Michael Kadisha said. “By watching athletes from rival nations compete with honor and integrity, in our own community, we will once again be reminded that even in competition, there is room for cooperation, empathy, and the possibility of resolving conflicts peacefully.” ### 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/

Leaders in Real Estate Weigh in on National Rent Cap Proposals

K3 Holdings

K3 Holdings, a privately held real estate investment firm with extensive holdings throughout the United States issued a statement today regarding the recent proposal by the President of the United States to implement a national cap of 5% on annual rent increases. While leaders of K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties commend the White House's effort to address the escalating costs of housing, leaders believe that the proposed one-size-fits-all approach falls short in addressing the complexities of housing affordability across diverse regions. "Rent control policies, like the proposed national cap, are intended to stabilize housing expenses for tenants. However, the effectiveness of such policies, especially at a national level, remains a contentious issue," said Michael Kadisha, Principal of K3 Holdings. "While rent stabilization can provide much-needed stability to tenants, the recent White House proposal overlooks the crucial ties to economic metrics and the diverse circumstances of renters and property managers." Housing markets vary significantly across the United States, and what works in one region may not be suitable for another. Existing local rent control measures reflect regional nuances but would fall short if implemented on a national scale. "In addition to relieving pressure on renters, it is essential to recognize that landlords also face increasing costs in maintaining properties," added Nathan Kadisha, Principal of K3 Holdings. "While rent controls might stabilize or reduce rent increases, they do little to address the rising operational costs landlords face, such as maintenance, utilities, insurance, and other expenses." Market dynamics heavily influence rent prices, with supply and demand playing critical roles. Policies that discourage new construction or renovations due to stringent rent caps could exacerbate housing shortages, driving rents even higher in the long run. “Effective policy making demands a balanced approach —one that prioritizes stability, fairness, and inclusivity,” Nathan Kadisha continued. “By fostering collaboration between policymakers, tenants, landlords, and other stakeholders, we can work towards building stronger communities where safe, stable, and affordable housing is accessible to all.” “As property managers, K3 Holdings stands ready to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration towards these shared goals. Together, we can envision a future where housing insecurity is a thing of the past, and every individual and family can thrive in a home they can afford,” Michael Kadisha said. “By striving for comprehensive, locally adaptable solutions, we can pave the way towards a more equitable housing landscape for all Americans.” ### 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 Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com
