I also treasure the talented and hard-working broadcast and media professionals I have had the privilege to work alongside. I am proud of what we accomplished, not only on air but also with our community events. Many people hope to look back on their careers with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. By God's grace that has been my experience and privilege at Salem.'
In retirement, Fahy looks forward to spending more time with his family and offering consulting support to nonprofit Christian ministries.

MDWerks' Two Trees Beverage Subsidiary to Install New Spirits Rapid Aging System
GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MDWerks, Inc. ('MDWerks' or the 'Company') (OTCQB: MDWK), a forward-thinking company leading the charge in the world of sustainable technology, today announced that its subsidiary, Two Trees Beverage Company ('Two Trees'), is planning to install a second Spirits Rapid Aging System ('SRAS') at its Fletcher, North Carolina facilities in August 2025 due to steady demand and projected growth potential. The new, larger SRAS unit, which is in the final stage of construction, will augment an existing SRAS unit to accommodate strong built-in demand for Two Trees' aged white-label distillates and award-winning spirits portfolio. MDWerks' subsidiary, RF Specialties, LLC, is designing and building the new SRAS unit, which is expected to approximately quintuple spirits production capacity at the Two Trees facility. Steven Laker, Chief Executive Officer of MDWerks, commented, 'Customer demand for Two Trees' aged white-label distillates and award-winning spirits brands has vastly exceeded peak throughput of our existing spirits rapid aging system, which has been running at or near full capacity since May 2025. We are deploying a second, larger SRAS unit at Two Trees' facilities in August 2025, which will provide approximately five times more capacity to meet built-in demand from several customers for various white-label products, including single malts, whiskeys, rums, and bourbons. Simultaneously, Two Trees' branded sales continue to grow organically, driven by expanded distribution, enhanced marketing and successful new product launches.' Mr. Laker added, 'Our Whiskey-as-a-Service business model continues to gain traction. Under contracts that we previously announced in February 2025, we are building three SRAS units. The first unit is scheduled to be installed at the facilities of one of the largest distilleries in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2025 and we expect to deliver a second SRAS unit to this customer in the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, we anticipate deploying the third SRAS unit at the facilities of a U.S. broker of bulk spirits in the first half of 2026. Multiple other conversations are underway with industry participants who recognize the substantial economic and environmental benefits of our proprietary spirits rapid aging technology.' SRAS Overview The Company's SRAS units leverage patented molecular energy wave technology that swiftly and sustainably transforms distillate to maturity, delivering traditional taste profiles in a fraction of the time (weeks vs. years) without sacrificing quality and with greatly reduced environmental impact and cost.
