Remediation Project in Source Area of March 15 Fire**\n\n1. As noted in the prior status reports, Genever US selected Sciame Homes (\"Sciame\") as the general contractor for the remediation project in the Source Area of the March 15 Fire. Sciame is continuing its work in the Sherry Netherland Apartment in close coordination with DryFast DKI (\"DKI\"), which is in the process of removing the soot in the Source Area. The soot removal is expected to be completed by mid-June 2024, after which Sciame will complete the \"white-boxing\" of the Source Area—including laying out the framing for the drywall, electrical work for heat pumps and lighting, installation of perimeter insulation and drywalls, installation of sub-floor, painting walls and ceiling, and sealing of plywood subfloor. In addition, after the painting, replacement windows and HVAC units will be installed. Genever US anticipates that the Remediation Project in the Source Area will be completed by early August 2024.\n\n2.
