Message from the CEO
As I enter the middle of my third decade as CEO in the clean energy business and my fortieth year as a public company CEO, I notice that our business, and the sustainability movement at large, has never been more relevant and important across the globe. I’ve come to think of the ESG movement as one very large, multi-national, best in class method of forever improving the way we live and the way we look after the natural gifts we have been bestowed upon. Greenbriar has provided our ecosystem with abundant opportunities to learn, teach, mentor, and share top quality best practices. Our mission enables us to advocate, brainstorm, give back to our communities, meet, network and socialize with friends and colleagues all over the country and world. We are blessed with over 4,000 public shareholders.
The changes around us, whether social, political, technological, scientific, economic or otherwise, require that we continue to navigate through new and increasingly complex landscapes, which profoundly impact the communities for which we work, our stakeholders, and the ESG profession at large.
In our journey that started with large scale clean energy generation over two decades ago, we have realized there is no better or more efficient form of renewable generation than that of large-scale energy conservation and reduction. How and where we live creates over 50% of the world’s carbon footprint. Transitioning into the building of large-scale energy efficient and sustainable communities, provides the remaining half of the pollution-free solution. Great sustainable communities also provide the infrastructure necessary for a more fulfilling and satisfying lifestyle.
I thank all the shareholders and stakeholders for your continued participation and enthusiasm in our professional community, and for your incredible support and advice. Finally, I’d like to say that there has never been any one moment of achievement or discovery, but rather our journey and success is through our constant and never-ending collaboration. Our success is marked with the DNA of all of us. We are stronger together. Our outcome is greater than our parts.
Best

Stock Information FAQ
Sage Ranch FAQ
The Tehachapi Valley has a population of 38,000 residents. The incorporated city of Tehachapi accounts for 12,000 of them and Sage Ranch is a part of the incorporation.
The other 26,000 residents of the Tehachapi Valley live in Community Services Districts (CSDs) like Golden Hills, Cummings Valley, Bear Valley Springs, Stallion Springs, Mountain Meadows and Sand Canyon. These CSDs are unincorporated Kern County land which means they have no dedicated city services and have to rely on the county’s services instead of having their own.
The City of Tehachapi strongly supports the Sage Ranch project:
As of April 15, 2024, the mortgage rate in California is 7.12% for a 30-year fixed mortgage.
Sage Ranch is located in an USDA approved overlay. This is not the case a few miles away from the project. Being in the USDA overlay is advantageous for our project and means Sage Ranch home buyers can apply for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 502D Direct Loan program which offers significantly lower mortgage rates to eligible buyers.
As of March 8, 2024, the USDA loan limit for Kern County is USD 460,000. The usual amortization period is 38 years, with a zero-down payment. Interest rates are about 4% with potential subsidies able to lower that down to 2 to 2.5%.
