Phoenix – September 11, 2026 -- NEXA Lending has named Geri Farr as Chief Executive Officer, transitioning founder Mike Kortas into the company's newly formalized Executive Partner role, its highest internal leadership designation.

Kortas shifts focus to growth and the Executive Partner network

Langenfeld – September 08, 2026 -- Logistics billionaire Klaus-Michael Kühne has died at age 89, leaving no children but a succession structure built years in advance around the nonprofit Kühne Foundation, which now holds the bulk of his business assets and will control his corporate empire going forward.

Foundation ownership was locked in before Kühne's death, avoiding a succession vacuum

According to foundation advisor Sascha Drache, Kühne separated ownership, leadership and succession into distinct decisions long before his passing. Operational management of his corporate group was professionalized during his lifetime while the foundation was established as a permanent ownership vehicle, so that his death would not trigger a new decision-making process. Drache notes that the critical governance choices were made in advance rather than left to be resolved after the fact.

Fort Lauderdale – – September 08, 2026 -- KIC Ventures issued a corporate clarification confirming that the U.S. Department of Justice dismissed all criminal charges against portfolio company SpineFrontier Inc. on January 17, 2025, and that no current KIC Ventures portfolio company faces ongoing DOJ litigation tied to the matter.

DOJ moved to dismiss all criminal charges against SpineFrontier in January 2025.

The company stated that no KIC Ventures portfolio entity pleaded guilty to any criminal charge arising from the case and that none remains a defendant in related federal litigation. KIC Ventures said it issued the reminder because customers, physicians and investors may still encounter older reports referencing the original allegations without the case's subsequent dismissal.
