The Client will authorize PDS discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The Client retains the sole responsibility to provide all notices to the Plan participants required under ERISA Section 404(c) (5). 2. • Non-fiduciary Services are: Assist in the education of Plan participants about general investment information and the investment options available to them under the Plan. Client understands the PDS’s assistance in education of the Plan participants shall be consistent with and within the scope of the Department of Labor’s definition of investment education (Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletin 96-1). As such, the PDS is not providing fiduciary advice as defined by ERISA to the Plan participants. PDS will not provide investment option or investment advice concerning the prudence of any - 1 - • combination of investment options for a particular participant or beneficiary under the Plan. Assist in the group enrollment meetings designed to increase retirement plan participation among the employees and investment and financial understanding by the employees.

PDS has no responsibility to provide services related to the following types of assets • (“Excluded Assets”): • • • • • • not Employer securities; Real estate (except for real estate funds or publicly traded REITs); Stock brokerage accounts or mutual fund windows; Participant loans; Non-publicly traded partnership interests; Other non-publicly traded securities or property (other than collective trusts and similar vehicles); or Other hard-to-value or illiquid securities or property. be included in calculation of Fees paid to the Adviser on the ERISA Excluded Assets will Agreement.

This service is appropriate for Clients who need assistance with individual topics. This is not a detailed financial review and will not result in a complete financial plan. Client may select individual topics above, or other topics as may be deemed appropriate. The individual topics that will be included in this service will be outlined and agreed upon on the financial planning and consulting agreement. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions If a conflict of interest exists between the interests of PDS and the interests of the Client, the Client is under no obligation to act upon any recommendation. Implementation of any recommendations will be at the discretion of the Client. Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, tax preparers, insurance agents, real estate agents, etc.) are engaged directly by the Client on an as-needed basis and may charge fees of their own. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the Client is under no obligation to affect the transaction through PDS. Financial plans and consultations will be completed and delivered inside of ninety (90) days contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation. The goals and objectives for each Client are documented in our Client files. Investment strategies are created that reflect the stated goals and objectives. Clients may impose - 2 - Wrap Fee Programs restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Agreements may not be assigned without written Client consent. Client Assets under Management PDS does not sponsor any wrap fee programs. PDS has the following Client assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: Date Calculated: $ $0 06/30/2026 159,822,368 Item 5: Fees and Compensation Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule ASSET MANAGEMENT PDS charges an annual investment advisory fee based on the total assets under management as follows: Assets Under Management Annual Fee Rates First $1,000,000 Next $1,000,000 Next $3,000,000 Over $5,000,000 1.50% 1.25% 1.00% 0.75% This is a tiered advisory fee schedule calculated by applying different rates to different portions of the portfolio. The annual fee is negotiable. Fees are billed quarterly in advance based on the amount of assets managed as of the close of business on the last business day of the previous quarter. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients may terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the Investment Advisory Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. After the initial five (5) business days, the agreement may be terminated by PDS with thirty (30) days written notice to Client and by the Client at any time with written notice to PDS. For accounts opened or closed mid-billing period, fees will be prorated based on the days services are provided during the given period. All unpaid earned fees will be due to PDS. Any unearned fees will be refunded to the Client. Client shall be given thirty (30) days prior written notice of any increase in fees. Any increase in fees will be acknowledged in writing by both parties before any increase in said fees occurs. ERISA PLAN SERVICES The annual fees are based on the market value of the Included Assets and will not exceed 1.20%. The annual fee is negotiable and may be charged as a percentage of the Included Assets or as flat fee. Fees may be charged quarterly or monthly in arrears or in advance based on the assets as calculated by the custodian or record keeper of the Included Assets (without adjustments for anticipated withdrawals by Plan participants or other anticipated or scheduled transfers or distribution of assets). If the services to be provided start any time other than the first day of a quarter or month, the fee will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter or month. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the billing cycle, PDS shall be entitled to a prorated fee based on the number of days during the fee period services were provided or Client will be due a prorated refund of fees for days services were not provided in the billing cycle. - 3 - The fee schedule, which includes compensation of PDS for the services is described in detail in Schedule A of the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay the fees, however the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Client may elect to be billed directly or have fees deducted from Plan Assets. PDS does not reasonably expect to receive any additional compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement. If additional compensation is received, PDS will disclose this compensation, the services rendered, and the payer of compensation. PDS will offset the compensation against the fees agreed upon under the Agreement. FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING PDS charges either a fixed fee or hourly fee for financial planning and consulting services. Prior to the planning process the Client will be provided an estimated plan fee. Fees for financial planning and consulting services can be paid either in advance upon the signing of the Agreement or 50% in advance with balance due upon delivery of the completed plan or consultation. Services are completed and delivered inside of ninety (90) days contingent on the timely receipt of all applicable documents from the Client. Client may cancel within five (5) days of signing Agreement with no obligation. If the Client cancels after five (5) business days, any unearned fees will be refunded to the Client, or any unpaid earned fees will be due to PDS based on the hours of work expended by PDS. FIXED FEES Financial planning services are offered based on a negotiable fixed fee up to $20,000 dependent upon the complexity of the Client’s specific situation. HOURLY FEES Client Payment of Fees Consulting services are offered based on an hourly fee of $250 per hour. Fees for asset management services are deducted from a designated Client account to facilitate billing. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account. Fees for ERISA services will either be deducted from Plan assets or paid directly to PDS. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account.

Fees for financial planning and consulting services are billed in advance.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management Sharing of Capital Gains Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities. Item 7: Types of Clients Description Account Minimums PDS generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts or estates. Client relationships vary in scope and length of service. PDS requires a minimum of $100,000 to open an account. At the discretion of PDS, the minimum account size may be lowered or waived. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, technical analysis and cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value. Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns that emerge over time. Investment Strategy Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are twofold: 1) the markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit. PDS’s asset management approach incorporates your financial needs and investment objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance to yield an effective investment strategy. Your portfolio is then tailored to these unique investment parameters using equities (“stocks”) and fixed income/debt (“bond”) instruments, and a mix of investment company products (“mutual funds”) and Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and other assets to design your unique investment strategy. The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the Client during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time by - 5 - Security Specific Material Risks providing written notice to PDS. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar form that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment • Market Risk risks and should discuss these risks with PDS: • : The prices of securities in which Clients invest may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by a fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. Investors should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines Interest-rate Risk in market value. • : Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less Inflation Risk attractive, causing their market values to decline. : When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a • Currency Risk dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation. : Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as • Reinvestment Risk exchange rate risk. • Management Risk: : This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income securities. • Equity Risk: The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the intended results. If the advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a specific asset class or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall performance of the Client’s portfolio may suffer. • Fixed Income Risk: Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. The value of an individual mutual fund or ETF can be more volatile than the market as a whole. This volatility affects the value of the Client’s overall portfolio. Small- and mid- cap companies are subject to additional risks. Smaller companies may experience greater volatility, higher failure rates, more limited markets, product lines, financial resources, and less management experience than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have a lower trading volume, which may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies. • The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make interest and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. If a rating agency gives a debt security a lower rating, the value of the debt security will decline because investors will demand a higher rate of return. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities held by a fund is likely to decrease. A nominal Investment Companies Risk: interest rate is the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. When a Client invests in open end mutual funds or ETFs, the Client indirectly bears their proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable - 6 - directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher expenses, which may be duplicative. In addition, the Client’s overall portfolio may be affected by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs are also subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is above or below their net asset value or (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in which Client invests. Item 9: Disciplinary Information Criminal or Civil Actions Administrative Enforcement Proceedings PDS and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action. Self- Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings PDS and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement proceedings. PDS and its management have not been involved in any self-regulatory organizational enforcement proceedings that are material to a Client’s or prospective Client’s evaluation of PDS or the integrity of its management. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration Futures or Commodity Registration PDS is not registered as a broker-dealer and no affiliated representatives of PDS are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest Neither PDS nor its affiliated representatives are registered or have an application pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading advisor. PDS doesn’t maintain any material relationships and the supervised persons are not Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest involved in any other business activities. PDS doesn’t select or recommend other investment advisors. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics Description include employees and/or The affiliated persons (affiliated persons independent contractors) of PDS have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of PDS affiliated persons and addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated persons of PDS. The Code reflects PDS and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of their Client. - 7 - One area which the Code addresses is when affiliated persons buy or sell securities for their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our Clients. We do not allow any affiliated persons to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our Clients. PDS’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or inside information. No advisory representative or other affiliated person, officer or director of PDS may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory Clients or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security. PDS’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top priority. PDS’s officers, directors, advisors, and other affiliated persons have a fiduciary duty to our Clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and confidence of our Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the Client’s interests over the interests of either affiliated persons or the company. The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are affiliated persons who have access to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are involved in making securities recommendations to Clients, or who have access to such recommendations that are non-public. PDS will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of request. Interest PDS and its affiliated persons do not recommend to Clients securities in which we have a material financial interest. Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest PDS and its affiliated persons may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of Client transactions, affiliated persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide PDS with copies of their brokerage statements. The Chief Compliance Officer of PDS is Bruce Swanson. He reviews all trades of the affiliated persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of affiliated persons does not front run or disadvantage trading for Clients. Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest PDS does not have a material financial interest in any securities being recommended. However, affiliated persons may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or sell securities for Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, affiliated persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide PDS with copies of their brokerage statements. The Chief Compliance Officer of PDS is Bruce Swanson. He reviews all trades of the affiliated persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of affiliated persons does not front run or disadvantage trading for Clients. - 8 - Item 12: Brokerage Practices Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions PDS will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek best execution for the Client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most favorable terms for a Client under the circumstances. The determination of what may constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with which the transaction is affected, the ability to affect the transaction where a large block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of the broker. PDS will select appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. PDS relies on its broker to provide its execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by PDS. PDS does not receive any portion of the trading fees. PDS will recommend the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. or AXOS Clearing, LLC. Our recommendation for you to custody your assets with one of these financial institutions has no direct correlation to the services we receive and the investment advice we offer you, although we do receive economic benefits through our relationship with from these institutions that are typically not available to retail clients. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a dedicated trading desk; access to batch trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from accounts; access to an electronic communications network for order entry and account information; access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers. PDS is not a subsidiary of, or an affiliated entity of, Schwab or AXOS. PDS is solely responsible for investment advice rendered, and advisory services are provided separately • Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits and independently of these financial institutions. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are obtained by PDS from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing Client transactions to the broker-dealer. Although PDS has no formal soft dollar arrangements, PDS may receive products, research and/or other services from custodians or broker-dealers connected to Client transactions or “soft dollar benefits”. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, PDS receives economic benefits as a result of commissions generated from securities transactions by the custodian or broker-dealer from the accounts of PDS. PDS receives a benefit because we do not have to produce or pay for the research products, or services. A conflict of interest exists because PDS receives soft dollars which could result in higher commissions charged to Clients. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that PDS has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of its Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients. - 9 - • Brokerage for Client Referrals • Directed Brokerage PDS does not receive Client referrals from any custodian in exchange for using that custodian. Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts Clients who direct brokerage outside our recommendation may be unable to achieve the most favorable execution of Client transactions as Client directed brokerage may cost Clients more money. For example, in a directed brokerage account, you may pay higher brokerage commissions because we may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs, or you may receive less favorable prices. PDS is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the same securities for other Clients of PDS. All Clients participating in the aggregated order shall receive an average share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated basis. If aggregation is not allowed or infeasible and individual transactions occur (e.g., withdrawal or liquidation requests, odd-lot trades, etc.) an account may potentially be assessed higher costs or less favorable prices than those where aggregation has occurred. Item 13: Review of Accounts Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory Persons Involved Account reviews are performed quarterly by an Investment Advisor Representative of PDS. Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Reviews of Client accounts include, but are not limited to, a review of Client documented risk tolerance, adherence to account objectives, investment time horizon, suitability criteria and reviewing target allocations of each asset class to identify if there is an opportunity for rebalancing. Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis Financial plans and consultations are updated as requested by the Client and pursuant to a new or amended agreement. Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws, new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation. Clients receive written account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts. Account statements are issued by the Client’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each transaction in account from custodian and an additional statement during any month in which a transaction occurs. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts of Interest Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals PDS does not receive any economic benefits from external sources. PDS may enter into agreements with individuals and organizations, which may be affiliated or unaffiliated with PDS, that refer Clients to PDS in exchange for compensation. All such agreements will be in writing and comply with the requirements of Federal or State regulation. If a Client is introduced to PDS by a referring party, PDS may pay that referring - 10 - party a fee. While the specific terms of each agreement may differ, generally, the compensation will be based upon PDS’s engagement of new Clients and is calculated using a varying percentage of the fees paid to PDS by such Clients. Any such fee shall be paid solely from PDS’s investment management fee and will not result in any additional charge to the Client. Each prospective Client who is referred to PDS under such an arrangement will receive a copy of this brochure and a separate written disclosure document disclosing the nature of the relationship between the referring party and PDS and the amount of compensation that will be paid by PDS to the referring party. The referring party is required to obtain the Client’s signature acknowledging receipt of PDS’s disclosure brochure and the written disclosure statement. Item 15: Custody Account Statements All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged to carefully compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any documentation or reports prepared by PDS. PDS is deemed to have custody of Client assets solely as a result of (i) the deduction of advisory fees directly from Client accounts by the qualified custodian at PDS’s direction and (ii) Third-Party Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOAs”). PDS and the applicable qualified custodian satisfy the following seven (7) conditions to qualify for the exception from the surprise examination requirement: 1. The Client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the Client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed. 2. The Client authorizes PDS, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time. 3. The Client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a signature review or other method to verify the Client’s authorization and provides a transfer of funds notice to the Client promptly after each transfer. 4. The Client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the Client’s qualified custodian. 5. PDS has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the Client’s instruction. 6. PDS maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party nor located at the same address as PDS. 7. The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. - 11 - Item 16: Investment Discretion Discretionary Authority for Trading PDS requires discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of Clients. PDS has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. Client will authorize PDS discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement. PDS allows Clients to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment Advisory Agreement or similar document. These restrictions must be provided to PDS in writing. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Proxy Votes PDS does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The Client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a transfer agent. When assistance on voting proxies is requested, PDS will provide recommendations to the Client. If the Client requires assistance or has questions, they can reach out to the investment advisor representatives of the firm at the contact information on the cover page of this document. Item 18: Financial Information Balance Sheet A balance sheet is not required to be provided to Clients because PDS does not serve as a custodian for Client funds or securities and PDS does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1200 per Client and six months or more in advance. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet Commitments to Clients Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years PDS has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to our Clients. PDS has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years. - 12 - S U P E R V I S E D P E R S O N B R O C H U RE Item 1 Cover Page F O R M A D V P A R T 2 B ® Bradley C.
