GREENBRIAR ANNOUNCES GENERAL (RET) HOKANSON AS CEO
Greenbriar Sustainable Living Inc. has appointed Daniel R. Hokanson as the chief executive officer of Greenbriar subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Gen. Hokanson is a recently retired four-star General and former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He served as the 29th Chief of the National Guard Bureau, the second-largest military organization in the Department of Defense, where he was an adviser to the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense and the National Security Council. He also led the National Guard State Partnership Program with over 110 countries around the globe, conducting numerous senior political and military engagements.
Gen. Hokanson served 38 years in the Army and Army National Guard, including 14 years as a general officer. His deployments include Operation Just Cause, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is also a command pilot with over 2,600 flight hours in over 30 different fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
Gen. Hokanson earned a BS in aerospace engineering from West Point, an MA in international security and civil-military relations from the Naval Postgraduate School, and an MA in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College. He also completed a year-long national security fellowship at Harvard University.
Gen. Hokanson is hereby granted one million RSUs (common shares) for approval at the next AGM or in the alternative one million common shares of Greenbriar subject to TSX-V approval. Brian Conlan will become corporate president.
The focus of the new CEO will be the oversight of the regulatory process in Puerto Rico, including the anticipated approval process by the FOMB and other agencies. Additionally Gen. Hokanson will lend corporate guidance on the application of suitable professional military and aviation housing needs for the Sage Ranch project in Tehachapi, Calif. Sage Ranch is a 35- to 40-minute drive from six major fully financed aviation programs including the B-21 strategic delivery platform and the sixth generation F-47 fighter/interdiction platform.
With respect to the two major utility-scale solar and battery contracts in Puerto Rico, the federal 30-per-cent ITC for the battery contract lasts until 2031 and the company's United States legal counsel has advised of the likely probability of an extension for the federal 30-per-cent ITC for utility scale solar, when the Dec. 31, 2027, expiry takes effect. The ITC and/or PTC have been extended every term since 1997, regardless of two separate occasions where their extensions were granted a few months after the expiry. The ITC has broad based bipartisan support.
Jeff Ciachurski, the CEO of Greenbriar, states: "We are immensely blessed to have the calibre and quality of leadership from Daniel Hokanson as our new CEO. Dan will be a key leader as we build out our affordable and sustainable Sage Ranch housing project and our utility-scale battery and solar projects in Puerto Rico offering energy security, resiliency and independence from foreign fuel sources."
The new executive team subject to final board approval will be shown in the attached table.
