Arizona Tribune - Jericho Energy Welcomes Comstock Holding Companies CEO Chris Clemente to Board of Directors

Mr. Clemente founded Comstock in 1985 and has guided its evolution from a homebuilder into a commercial real estate industry leader. Through his thoughtful leadership, Comstock has established itself as one of the preeminent asset managers, developers, and operators in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. region, providing a broad spectrum of real estate services to their rapidly growing managed portfolio. Mr. Clemente has also led Comstock to execute multiple successful large-scale public-private partnerships and strategic investments in real estate ventures.

Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho, commented: "Chris brings a rare combination of public company leadership, capital markets expertise, and deep experience in large-scale real estate and infrastructure development. His track record of building and scaling platforms, executing strategic partnerships, and aligning long-term shareholders makes him an outstanding addition to our Board as we advance our AI-driven energy and infrastructure initiatives."

Christopher Clemente, CEO of Comstock, commented: "Jericho Energy is strategically positioned at the intersection of domestic energy development and next-generation data infrastructure. I look forward to working closely with Brian and the Board to support the Company's AI land growth strategy and help unlock long-term value for shareholders."

Comstock recently became a significant shareholder of Jericho through a US$1.5 million private placement investment, further aligning the two companies' long-term strategic interests. Pursuant to a letter of intent dated February 11, 2026, Jericho and Comstock have agreed to pursue the formation of a strategic partnership (the "Joint Venture" or "JV") focused on the acquisition, aggregation and development of land in and around Jericho's existing energy asset base in Oklahoma. The proposed JV is intended to leverage Jericho's energy infrastructure footprint and Comstock's extensive real estate development expertise to advance high-value infrastructure and energy-related projects in the region.
