We examine an extension of the Standard Model which results from a $10D$, $\mathcal{ N}=1$, $E_8$ gauge theory. The theory is dimensionally reduced over a $M_4 \times B_0/ \mathbf{ Z}_3 $ space, where $B_0$ is the nearly-K\"ahler manifold $SU(3)/U(1) \times U(1)$ and $\mathbf{ Z}_3$ is a freely acting discrete group on $B_0$ that triggers a Wilson flux breaking, leading to an $\mathcal{ N}=1$, $SU(3)^3\times U(1)^2$ effective theory in $4D$. At lower energies we are left with the Split NMSSM. Its 2-loop analysis yields third generation quark and light Higgs masses within the experimental limits and predicts a neutralino LSP mass $<800$ GeV.
