This concludes our major scope of work on this project. Big thanks to Adam, Miguel, Abner, and Rolando for their exceptional leadership over the last year and half, as we simultaneously completed a new 2-story parking deck, a 5-story office building, and a 10-story office building. Lexus of Raleigh The Lexus of Raleigh renovation is moving along. In August, we completed Phase 1 of the project and turned it over to the owner. This is a particularly challenging project, as the dealership and service facility will remain open for the duration of construction. Johnny (PM) and Rodolfo (Foreman) have done an outstanding job in highlighting the value that MCI brings to every project. Great job!

Flying Bull PCU Flying Bull Kitchen Hood PNC Custom Insulated Flying Bull PCU 1/7 Over the last quarter, we’ve had plenty of opportunity to sharpen our skills in the restaurant market. We are currently working on (3) major restaurant projects (Ruth’s Chris, PNC Chi-Fil-A, and the Flying Bull Brewery). Each one of these is unique and provides different challenges. At Flying-Bull, Johnny (PM), Rodolfo (Foreman) & team are working hard to install close to 100ft of grease duct, a kitchen hood, and a PCU (pollution control unit). The PCUs require detailed coordination for installation, and many times the design drawings don’t accurately capture the complexity of these units. Our team identified the lack of a 2-hour rated enclosure at the PCU, which is required by code and have been working with the GC and design team to design a rated enclosure that will accommodate the PCU and allow for service access. Once again, the Raleigh construction team has highlighted the value of hiring detail-oriented and skilled craftsmen! At Ruth’s Chris we have installed (2) make-up air units, over 150ft of 30” grease duct, (3) kitchen hoods, and (1) dishwasher hood. This duct runs to the roof of a 12-story residential tower that is currently under construction. With limited space above the ceiling to fit this monster duct, the Brasfield & Gorrie team contracted our BIM team to help coordinate the routing and minimize conflicts in the field. The restaurant is scheduled to open after the first of the year. At PNC – Daniel (PM), and Javier (Foreman) & team had quite the challenge of installing a new hood and connecting it to the existing grease duct. After some extensive field coordination, they were able to sketch and fabricate custom hood connections successfully. Next time you’re at PNC stop by and check out their work!

ESOP Education Series BACK TO MAIN It's ESOP Statement Time! Great news! 🎉 The first ESOP statements have been MAILED to your home addresses on file today! Delivery times may vary, but you should expect your letter within the next 2-3 days. If you haven't yet qualified to participate in the ESOP, you won't receive a statement this time. We’re thrilled to announce that the per-share value of our ESOP has increased by an impressive 84% since the 2022 valuation! This remarkable growth is a direct result of the hard work and dedication you all demonstrated throughout the 2023 season. The ESOP is valued year over year, and while there will be fluctuations, our goal is to maintain a positive trajectory for the long-term benefit of everyone at MCI. Your efforts have truly made a difference! Let’s review some details so that you understand what you are looking at in your statements. FYI: New Employees to MCI as of 2023- You will not receive a login until the statement next year when you are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Set your expectations Don’t get dollar signs in your eyes! We’ve said it before, and we will say it again; this is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Our stock valuation can fluctuate, and it will be generally low for the first few years. WHY will the value be low? To become an employee-owned company, the company had to first be sold to the ESOP Trust by the original private owners of the company. The sale will be paid to the owners over time, and that money comes from the annual contributions to the ESOP Trust until that debt is paid off. Think of it like buying a house; you take a loan out to BUY your house from the bank. The bank holds the deed to your house, and you pay off the loan monthly over the length of your designated mortgage terms (typically 30 years for a mortgage, but don’t worry the private loan to the sellers isn’t even close to that amount of time). Once you pay off the loan, the bank gives you the deed, and your house is officially yours at its full market value. In our ESOP—there is no bank. The private sellers have individual private loans based on a fair market sale, and they are assuming all the associated risks. We pay off the loans, (and the company remains profitable), our equity in the company goes up, and our share value will reflect that. What will the Statement look like? This statement is going to be personalized for YOU; your vesting percentage, your number of shares, and the value of that they are worth for year ending 2023. Your information - Near the top, you’ll see your personal information, including your years of vested service, your participation status, and the date your participation started. Last year’s balance - What is in your account as of the end of the last plan year. Forfeitures - There is a new line item on your statement for the 2023 year called “Forfeitures.” These are any shares that were given up, or “unvested” by employees who left the ESOP in 2023. The shares that they left behind go back into the trust and are reallocated to all current participants. Total account balance - This represents the total number of shares associated with your account. Current market value - The per-share value of the company stock as of the end of the plan year, as determined by an independent appraiser (valuation firm). Total account value - What your account is worth at the end of the plan year. Vested percentage - This is the vesting percentage that you have earned based on your years of service and the vesting schedule as defined by the plan. Vested account value - This is the current vested value of your account, based on your vested percentage. This is the amount that will be paid upon a distribution event. A huge thank you to all of those who have been integral in navigating the preparation of these documents.

ESOP Education Series BACK TO MAIN The History of ESOPs Employee ownership is not a new idea. The earliest reference to employee ownership in the U.S. came from William Meredith, Zachary Taylor’s secretary of the treasury. In 1849, he noted that workers were owners in many enterprises, and thought the idea would be a great way to create a common interest between labor and capital. In the late 1800s, the Knights of Labor, one of the United States’ first unions, created several worker-owned businesses. In the 1920s, leading industrialists called for a “new capitalism” based on employee ownership. Employees were encouraged to buy shares in their own companies, and more than one million did. Unfortunately, none of these efforts endured, and the idea faded away until the 1950s. It was then that a San Francisco-based investment banker and lawyer, Louis Kelso (pictured above) , created the modern ESOP. In The Capitalist Manifesto, a best-selling book written with the philosopher Mortimer Adler (a household name at the time), Kelso and Adler argued that capital investment in new machinery and technology would drive workers into lower-paying jobs, or even out of work completely. Historically, when investments in machinery and technology went up, workers became more productive and were paid more. But Kelso and Adler believed the pace of change in the next generation would be so fast that it would replace a lot of well-paying jobs permanently. People who owned capital would do very well indeed; people who worked for them would struggle to stay in place. So the solution, they argued, had to be for more employees to be owners. Kelso’s predictions have proven true. Real wages (wages adjusted for inflation) since the 1970s, when ESOPs became law, have hardly budged, but an investment in the stock market has grown by about 500% in real dollars. So the problem, Kelso and Adler said, was that not enough people owned capital. They couldn’t afford to just go out and buy it, so there needed to be a way for them to become owners because of the work they do. But how? ESOPs to the Rescue Kelso envisioned a solution. He proposed laws that would give everyone a chance to own capital that could produce income. He called this plan an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Rich people and wealthy companies are able to acquire companies by borrowing money. Already having money, these groups could persuade lenders that they would make enough money from the profits of the company they bought to pay off the loan. How, then, could normal employees buy ownership in their own company? With wages stagnant and consumption costs rising, setting aside money to buy stock was not practical for all but a few. If they approached a bank as a group and asked for a loan to buy all or part of the company, bankers would politely laugh. Kelso’s solution was to have the company borrow money on behalf of the employees. The company, not the employees, would take the risk if the loan could not be repaid. The ownership of the capital acquired by the loan would be contributed to employees in the form of company stock. In return, companies could get a tax deduction for buying the shares for employees, paying for part of the cost. The remaining cost, the argument went, could be made up by workers being more productive because they were now owners. Kelso spent almost two decades trying to persuade companies to use this idea, arguing that ESOPs would help improve productivity while simultaneously offering tax benefits. A few adopted Kelso’s idea, but most companies remained concerned that courts would find ESOPs improper and void the tax benefits that Kelso was proclaiming. Kelso needed a law. Russell and Huey Long It turned out that there was just a man to do this. Back in the 1920s, a populist politician from Louisiana named Huey Long was making quite a reputation for himself as state governor, U.S. senator, and presidential candidate. He argued strongly for redistribution of wealth from the rich to everyone else. His career was cut short when he was assassinated by the son-in-law of a judge Long had maneuvered out of office. His son, Russell Long, became a U.S. senator during the 1940s. By the 1960s, he had become the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, the group that writes the nation’s tax laws. That made him one of the most powerful senators. Russell Long and Kelso met in 1974. Long was interested in Kelso’s plan, claiming that Kelso’s ESOP idea was “Huey Long without the Robin Hood”—in other words, ESOPs would make the distribution of wealth fairer without “robbing from the rich.” ESOPs, they believed, were a way to use the capitalist system itself to create a more equitable distribution of wealth within the economy. Instead of allowing rich people to get richer and then taxing them at higher rates (which, Long believed, discouraged investment and could in turn hurt the economy), ESOP legislation aimed to change the way future wealth became owned. Long, inspired by this idea, began a crusade to provide ESOPs with tax incentives and shepherded 17 pieces of legislation through Congress in 12 years. More bills were added after that, the latest having passed in mid-2018. As a result, the government now provides substantial tax incentives to encourage companies to use ESOPs. In most cases, companies borrow money with an ESOP loan and use the money to buy stock from an owner. Instead of borrowing, the ESOP can also buy stock with periodic cash contributions from the company, or the company can just contribute stock to the ESOP. ESOPs are one of the rare ideas to restructure the economy that have support from the right, left, and center, from Ronald Reagan to Ted Kennedy; from the current Republican Party platform to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. As one poll found, it is as popular as apple pie. Has It Worked? More than 14 million employees are currently owners through ESOPs and similar plans. Research shows that employee-owned companies that promote employee involvement outperform their competitors by a substantial margin and that employees in these plans do substantially better in terms of retirement and other conditions of work. The idea has started to spread to other countries, in large part because of how successful it has been here in the U.S. The idea has a long, long way to go—the vast majority of employees are still not in these plans—but it has come a very long way.

Gamut Update BACK TO MAIN Exciting Collaboration: Lighting the Way at CosMc's, Bolingbrook IL We have some exciting news to share on a project that has been shrouded in secrecy until now. Gamut Systems and Solutions is proudly illuminating the path for a new venture in the fast-food industry: CosMc's in Bolingbrook, Illinois. CosMc's, a new and reimagined McDonald's concept, is making waves as a beverage-led, drive-thru-only chain. This innovative approach is poised to rival giants like Starbucks and Dunkin. It's more than just a fast-food outlet; it's a futuristic experience, blending nostalgia with modernity. Gamut is excited to be controlling the lighting systems that set the stage for this unique dining experience. CosMc's isn't just another restaurant; it's a statement. Imagine a blend of the familiar McDonald's ethos with a twist that's out of this world. As described by McDonald's CEO, Kempczinski, the concept of CosMc's is akin to "what would happen if a McDonald's character from the 1980s - part alien, part surfer, part robot - opened a restaurant in 2023."

Acerca de BACK TO MAIN Work, Meet Life. The most important part of who we are is outside of working hours. Let's recognize that too. Celebrating New Beginnings in Our Gamut Family! We have some heartwarming news to share in our latest family update! First off, Joey Aldrich, a dedicated member of our Gamut customer support team, welcomed his baby girl, Aurora, into the world on February 1, 2024. We're all smiles over the adorable picture below featuring Aurora and her big sister. (Left) In another happy announcement, Lisa Simmons, also from our customer support team, embraced a new title as a grandmother on the rare and special day of February 29, 2024. Her granddaughter, Amelia, has made this Leap Year extra memorable. Check out this heartwarming picture of Lisa with her little "Leap Ling."

In a desperate bid to fill the page (and, let's be honest, to show off), I've commandeered this space to introduce the latest, furriest member of the Knapp household - meet Finley! Our "Gotcha Day" celebration was on February 7th, marking the day this adorable mix of Coonhound, Boxer, and Pitbull made our home her forever home. At 9 months old, Finley is a blend of hound intelligence, Boxer enthusiasm, and Pitbull love, making every day an adventure filled with energy, smarts, and cuddles. Finley's journey to us was made possible by the amazing folks at Saving Grace Animal Rescue in Wake Forest, NC.

The Shih-Poo Coup: How Sammy Stole the Show (and Dane's Heart) at MCI In a daring attempt to one-up the editorial desk's recent puppy news, the Osburn clan has made a bold move by introducing their own bundle of joy (and inevitable chaos). Enter Sammy, the pint-sized Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, or as those in the know call him, a "Shih-Poo." This little furball, pictured on the right alongside his sister, recently graced the Raleigh office with his presence, and let's just say, he was quite the hit—especially with PM Stephen Sellers, who might just have found a new best friend. (I sense a new series... Puppies and Project Managers? Who's in??) At just 8 weeks old, Sammy has already shown signs of becoming the office's most adorable troublemaker. While Dane Osburn might put on the façade of a man coerced into dog-dad duties, it's clear for all to see that Sammy has firmly wrapped his tiny paws around Dane's heart. So, as the newsletter becomes an unofficial pet showcase, let's give a warm welcome to Sammy. Dane, you can pretend all you want, but we're onto you—you've totally fallen for the puppy eyes. Here's to Sammy's future adventures and the inevitable "who's rescued who" story unfolding at the Osburn residence!

In October, Keith accepted the Platinum Level Safety Award from ABC Carolinas on behalf of MCI. This prestigious recognition marks our third consecutive year at this level and our tenth year of receiving a Silver Level or higher. Such consistency in excellence is a direct result of our commitment to maintaining a safe work environment and reducing workplace injuries. This Platinum Level award is one of the highest accolades we can achieve, underscoring our dedication to safety and operational excellence. Furthermore, for the second year running, MCI has earned the Accredited Quality Contractor designation from ABC National. This prestigious recognition not only highlights our quality and excellence but also sets us on course to be named as a Top Performer in our industry by ABC National for the second consecutive year. Our Platinum Safety designation is particularly noteworthy. According to the ABC 2023 Safety Performance Report, MCI is on average 688% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, a remarkable statistic that places us among the elite 547 merit shop construction contractors nationwide to achieve this status. A milestone worth celebrating is our safety record: MCI has surpassed two full years without a lost time accident. This is a monumental achievement in our industry and a clear reflection of our team's commitment to safety and vigilance. Congratulations to everyone at MCI for these outstanding accomplishments. Your dedication and hard work have not only set a high bar in our industry but also contributed to a safer, more efficient, and quality-driven work environment. Here's to continuing this trend of excellence and safety, and to further elevating our standards in the coming year! Congratulations to our newest Blue Crew! Congratulations to our newest 100% vested owners!
