With eight entities in its family of companies, in total, more than 350 individuals will be employed by the companies making an impact of over $2,000,000 per year on Chattanooga’s local economy.

Its portfolio of companies includes:
- Akashic Technologies™ is a Canadian-based clean energy company, holding twelve (12)
patents across the globe on its hydrocarbon recovery unit (“HRU”). Akashic’s HRUs replace
oil refineries’ flares, recovering an estimated 7% of wasted fuel while eliminating refinery
emissions. Initial placement of the HRUs is geared towards US refineries, Egypt’s state-owned refineries, and other European and Middle Eastern locations. - Akashic Technologies™ is currently hosting equity investment negotiations with several of the
world’s largest investment banks, funds, and energy investment companies. The Akashic
Technologies™ HRU is the answer to the global issues raised at the 29th Conference of the
Parties (COP29), hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan: flaring needs to be eliminated by 2030 to assist
in saving our environment. The Akashic HRUs eliminate flaring, provide the benefit of energy
independence to nations in need, and provide its investors an unmatched return on

industry. To date, the emerging carbon credit industry is riddled with inefficiencies,
instability, and huge barriers to entry for average companies that are eligible to generate
carbon credits by reducing their carbon footprint.
The lack of structure in the carbon credit market prolongs adoption of net-neutral directives
by companies, thus prolonging climate change results that the world needs. Kronos Carbon™
is a regulatory-compliant, transparent, and profitable tokenization and sale platform for
companies that develop, buy, and sell carbon credits.
Its strategic partnerships include Kronos Carbon™ Chairman – Peter Knez – the former Chief
Investment Officer of BlackRock, affiliates of the World Economic Forum, and energy
companies around the world. By facilitating a simple, transparent, and effective manner of
revolutionizing the carbon credit trading market, Kronos Carbon™ promotes net-neutral
changes on the part of the companies whose actions make a difference, while instilling
quality and transparency standards in an emerging industry.
Knez noted, “The Kronos team saw a need in an industry that has so much opportunity and
yet, is challenged by its own inefficiencies. Working together for mutually beneficial
outcomes, Kronos Carbon™ is setting the bar in the carbon credit industry. It’s an honor to
play a leading role with this effort.” - Kosha Hibachi™ is a Japanese-themed hibachi food truck franchise. Created by Kronos
Capital™ in late 2021, and franchised in June of 2023, the Kosha Hibachi™ franchise model

franchise locations throughout the Southeast United States.
Bennett Maxwell, Found of Dirty Dough shared, “We love the food truck community and
the difference a great offering can make at concerts and festivals. It was an easy decision
to support this concept as it appeals to such a wide array of audiences with food offerings
that are easy to obtain and prepare. This is an exciting addition to any portfolio, and we’re
excited about the success Kosha Hibachi’s franchisees are experiencing.”

Nash Bowen, CEO of Kronos Capital™ said, “As a Chattanoogan, my greatest desire has been
to headquarter these companies in the city I grew up in.” He noted that while the company
has the 200 block of Market Street under contract, the company is looking at additional
properties to expand its local presence. “Our company is bullish on Chattanooga –
specifically, Downtown. Like so many, we’ve seen the success of the city’s Northshore and
Southside and share the excitement of what’s to come at The Bend. For us, there’s simply
no place we’d rather open our doors than in the urban core of Chattanooga’s Downtown. Our
initial investment of roughly $128,000,000 will plant seeds for the future and our workforce
will live, shop and worship in the area. We’re excited about what the future holds because
we want to play a role in it.”
