EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Tyler Hales will lead the Site Selection Team and as such, will manage the various service offerings that fall within this jurisdiction. Business Incentives, Supply Chain Optimization, Financial Modeling, & Industrial Location Strategy are all intricate components of the broader Site Selection Team that must work in parallel as the process evolves. Tyler has handpicked C&W’s top resources across the country to specifically lead each service offering based upon past experience and success on behalf of other clients. Kyle Schneider will lead the Project Management Team due to his previous experience assisting large battery manufacturers design their facilities while ensuring efficient construction timelines, which is particularly important given today’s supply chain constraints. Kyle will be the primary point of contact for the Project Management team and will manage the planning, design, and construction process to ensure value and savings without sacrificing quality. Further we will leverage Kyle and his team’s expertise as we perform due diligence on potential sites as part of our Transaction Management process. THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE While we realize most large brokerage firms are able to create an extensive list of large-scale site selection clients, C&W is uniquely positioned given our experience within the battery / battery component manufacturing industry. To name just a few examples, C&W recently advised Honda & LG on a $4.4 billion production facility to be built in Ohio. Our proposed Site Selection Team has extensive experience advising these and countless other advanced manufacturing projects throughout the country. We will apply this experience to execute this project efficiently and methodically for SES AI.
