Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. 
 

            

Effective March 15, 2018, Harmel S. Rayat was appointed to the Board of Directors of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. as Chairman (the “Company”). 

 

Mr. Rayat's annual compensation for serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors will be $1.00 per year.

 

Mr. Rayat began his career working as a mail room clerk and messenger for a national Canadian brokerage firm before soon entering the brokerage business as a stock broker, during which time he developed a keen talent for recognizing investment opportunities and a penchant for investing in companies with strong potential. Mr. Rayat is the president and sole stockholder of Kalen Capital Corporation , which owns, on a fully diluted basis 27,344,833 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 61% of the Company's issued and outstanding stock.* Mr. Rayat is also a director of RenovaCare, Inc. 

 

Since the 1990s, Mr. Rayat has enjoyed a successful career as an entrepreneur and an investor providing strategic capital and managerial guidance to a number of entities. Seeking non-correlating, relative low-risk, high-yielding investment diversity and new opportunities, Mr. Rayat established,  and is the majority stockholder of,Talia Jevan Properties, Inc. in 2006 to acquire and manage high-quality, relatively low-risk commercial real estate properties, with an emphasis on Class-A properties in prominent cities qualified by size, economic strength, growth potential, social and cultural diversity, geographical appeal, and most importantly, a superior risk adjusted return on investment. Starting with no legacy assets, a personal equity investment of $20 million and following a risk-adjusted acquisition strategy and a proactive managerial mindset heavily focused on providing exceptional service to tenants, Mr. Rayat has since built a commercial real estate portfolio valued at almost $200 million, using modest leverage. For the 12 years ending December 31, 2017, his portfolio has generated annualized return on equity of 42% per year, compared to 11% for the Dow and 17% for NASDAQ.  

 

Mr. Rayat is the author of the book “Winning With Commercial Real Estate.” 

 

* Calculated pursuant to rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act. Beneficial ownership is calculated based on 36,249,544 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of January 16, 2018. Under Rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act, shares not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by such person, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by each other person listed.
