<div id="readability-page-1"><article><div>, /PRNewswire/ -- BOXABL Inc. (&#34;BOXABL&#34;), an innovative leader in high quality, well-priced factory-built housing solutions, today announced the appointment of Morris A. Davis, Ph.D., to its Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2026. Dr. Davis, a preeminent expert in housing economics and policy, brings decades of high-level experience from the Federal Reserve Board and the Trump administration, where he advised directly on strategies to lower housing costs and expand supply for American families.<img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2844839/Martin_Mo_1.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="400" height="289" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2844839/Martin_Mo_1.jpg"/>As the former Chief Housing Economist for the White House Council of Economic Advisers under President Donald J. Trump, Davis worked closely with the administration to shape national housing policies aimed at reducing regulatory barriers, boosting construction, and making homeownership accessible again. His pivotal role in these efforts aligns seamlessly with BOXABL's mission to disrupt the housing crisis through scalable, high-quality prefab homes delivered at a fraction of traditional costs.Earlier in his career, Davis served as an Economist at the Federal Reserve Board, where he routinely briefed the then-Federal Reserve Chairman on housing markets, macroeconomics, and financial stability. A prolific scholar and the Paul V. Profeta Chair in Real Estate at Rutgers Business School, Davis has authored groundbreaking research on mortgage policy, urban economics, and the inefficiencies of legacy housing subsidies—insights that have influenced trillions in taxpayer savings and policy reforms.&#34;Morris Davis is a transformative force in housing economics, with unparalleled expertise from the halls of the Federal Reserve to the Oval Office,&#34; said Martin Costas, CFO of BOXABL. &#34;His direct collaboration with President Trump's cabinet on affordability initiatives will be invaluable as we scale production and redefine how America builds. With our expected merger with FG Merger II Corp. (Nasdaq: FGMC), Morris's strategic vision positions BOXABL to work toward delivering a significant number of high-quality housing units and making them within families' budgets nationwide, turning policy promise into real-world impact.&#34;Davis's appointment comes at a pivotal moment for BOXABL, as the company advances toward its potential public listing through the previously announced business combination with FGMC, expected to close in early 2026. Valued at $3.5 billion in the deal, the merger is expected to provide the capital and market access needed to ramp up factory output, addressing the U.S. housing shortage head-on. Davis's deep knowledge of federal incentives, regulatory streamlining, and market dynamics is expected to guide BOXABL's post-merger growth, ensuring alignment with emerging policies to accelerate prefab adoption and drive down costs for first-time buyers, workforce housing, and beyond.&#34;I am thrilled to join BOXABL at this inflection point,&#34; said Morris A. Davis. &#34;Having advised the current administration on bold reforms to unleash housing supply, I've seen firsthand how innovation like BOXABL's can solve the housing-affordability crisis. I'll work tirelessly to help BOXABL deliver sustainable, scalable solutions that put American families in high quality homes that are well within their budget.&#34;Davis joins a distinguished team that includes industry pioneers and financial leaders committed to BOXABL's vision of revolutionizing housing through advanced manufacturing. His addition strengthens the company's governance as it prepares for its next phase of hyper-growth.Investor Relations: invest@BOXABL.com; https://ir.boxabl.com/ About BOXABLBOXABL is transforming the housing market with its modular building systems designed to deliver affordable, high-quality homes at unprecedented speed.
