“Our customers have expressed to us their desire for more personalized consulting and guidance when it comes to implementing their marketing strategies,” said FMG Suite CEO, Scott White. “Bringing Platinum under our banner adds to our offering a group of experienced marketing consultants, as well as a vibrant content machine. Our clients will now have access to strategic consulting, branding and logo services, weekly email newsletters, quarterly print newsletters, checklists and invitations for over 100 different client appreciation and educational events, and other incredible services and content.”

“Our own advisory has benefited greatly from combining Platinum’s strategic guidance with FMG Suite’s powerful technology. Now, every advisor can experience the same great solution,” said Robert Fross.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
