Q1. Will the employer's Tax Identification Number change? Will CBRE employees be separated and integrated into a new Tax Identification Number?
We are in the process of finalizing the most effective strategy for the employee transition, ensuring it is carried out as smoothly and gradually as possible with minimal disruption. This strategy involves multiple stakeholders and key decisions are required. The process is still ongoing, and once a final decision is made, more detailed information and guidance will be communicated to the team immediately.
Q2. When will we know the specific details for the country where we are based, regarding the transfer from one company to another, bureaucratic procedures (new employment contract, whether there will be changes to the annual vacation dates, if there will be changes to the current health plan, etc.)? In my case, specifically for Brazil.
The current plan is for Brazil to complete the transition by the end of Q2 2025. We are actively working on the transition plan, focusing on defining the best approach for our team. This strategy involves multiple stakeholders, and there are still many details to be defined. More information and clarifications are expected to be provided to the team by the second quarter of 2025.
Q3. I was reading the last The Loop and saw the 'operational guide' article. I saw that it is divided between CBRE PJM and Turner & Townsend operational guide. I wanted to enter the CBRE PJM link, but it pops a window with a message error. I think because I'm from Turner & Townsend.
The operational guide for Mexico will be available on April 1. The operational guide has the same content for both CBRE PJM and Turner & Townsend employees; however, it is hosted on different systems. If you work for Turner & Townsend, you should access it via the Turner & Townsend link, and vice versa for CBRE PJM employees.

Q3. Does this mean that partnership opportunities for Turner & Townsend employees will be limited in the future, as CBRE partners will be prioritized?
We expect that the growth of Turner & Townsend’s business will create more opportunities for both CBRE PjM and Turner & Townsend colleagues, strengthening our partnership.
