In addition, BNYMA periodically reviews the asset allocation strategies and investment selections within the AFP Program model portfolios seeking to ensure that the portfolios continue to adhere to their respective investment objectives. Within each AFP Program model, BNYMA identifies several investment vehicle options from which Clients may choose. KIS does not exercise investment discretion in the selection of the asset allocation or the universe of specific underlying investment vehicles and strategies used in a Client’s account. KIS financial professionals, utilizing an investment profile questionnaire, provide Clients with non-discretionary recommendations regarding such asset allocation and underlying investment vehicles and strategies to meet Clients’ investment objectives, but Clients direct the KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 6 of 34 April 2025 overall investment strategy and profile changes to be made in their accounts.

However, BNYMA has discretionary authority to invest, reinvest and otherwise deal with assets in AFP Program Client accounts in its discretion within the model selected by the Client, subject to the Client’s decision to select alternate investment vehicle selections. BNYMA may, when it deems appropriate and without prior consultation with Clients or KIS, buy, sell, exchange, convert and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds, mutual funds, alternative investments and other securities, and may at its discretion replace underlying mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in a model if, for example, BNYMA deems such mutual fund or ETF to be underperforming.

Client accounts will not be directly charged for these services because they are part of the program fee for the Key Program I.

Rather, each is providing its proprietary research to KIS for KIS’s use in determining which Investment Managers are to be included in the SMA Program, and BNYMA does not serve as an investment adviser or discretionary money manager to those Clients who invest in the SMA Program. The Key Wealth CIO may serve as an investment advisor or discretionary money manager to those Clients who invest in particular Key Wealth CIO SMAs within the SMA Program, for third party Investment Managers recommended by the Key Wealth CIO it does not serve as an investment advisor or discretionary money manager to those Client who invest in the SMA Program. KeyBank, as an affiliated service provider to KIS, provides recommendations of Investment Managers (“Covered Managers”) for participation in the SMA Program as determined by KIS, from which Clients may choose for their SMA Program account. KIS financial professionals work with the Client to review the Client’s financial situation and investment profile to assist the Client in determining if the Investment Manager(s) under consideration is/are consistent with the Client’s investment objectives.

Clients and financial professionals should consult each Investment Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A Brochure to determine the Investment Manager’s specific background, strategy, and procedures. KIS, through BNYMA, will provide quarterly performance analysis and reporting. The minimum account size for the SMA Program is generally $100,000 but varies by Investment Manager. From the program fee, KIS will also pay or cause to be paid the Investment Manager’s fee, which will vary, as well as charges assessed by various providers of services, such as by the clearing broker, to Client’s account. Please read carefully the Investment Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A for further information. Please also read the KIS Standard Advisory Contract and Client Agreement for further information with respect to fees and other costs or charges.

All Investment Managers are required to have best execution policies and procedures, and KIS will review the respective Investment Manager’s best execution policies, procedures and practices. Please read carefully the Investment Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A brochure concerning its best execution policies and practices.

(5) BNY Mellon/American Funds Core Portfolios (“BNY Mellon/American Funds Program”) KIS offers the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program on a nondiscretionary basis to its clients through its relationship with BNYMA which serves as discretionary money manager for the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program. The BNY Mellon/American Funds Program is based on strategic asset allocation models (“BNYMAFP Models”) developed by BNYMA and comprised of American Funds’ mutual funds (“AF Funds”) and ETFs selected by BNYMA for a particular LAFP Model. Currently, KIS offers three (3) BNYMAFP Models which provide broad-market stock and investment-grade bond exposure in a range of stock/bond allocations, from 73% fixed income to 90% equity. BNYMA provides discretionary management for Clients’ accounts and implements trade orders based on asset allocation changes that BNYMA, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate. Prior to investing in a BNYMAFP Model, Clients complete an investment profile questionnaire which is intended to guide them in the selection of the appropriate BNYMAFP Model. The output from the questionnaire is a risk score, which assists the KIS financial professional in recommending, on a nondiscretionary basis, a BNYMAFP Model(s) which best suits the Client’s risk tolerance and investment objectives. Clients select a BNYMAFP Model that is appropriate for the investment circumstances Clients set forth in the investment profile questionnaire. Clients make the final determination as to which overall investment strategy, BNYMAFP Model, and profile changes will be made in their accounts. The financial professional may provide the Client with an investment proposal or strategy sheet that identifies the specific portfolio in the BNYMAFP Model recommended, on a nondiscretionary basis, to the Client and details the underlying AF Funds’ investments, as well as the overall asset and style allocation of the BNYMAFP Model. The Client is ultimately responsible for the selection of the appropriate BNYMAFP Model. Neither KIS nor BNYMA exercise investment discretion in the selection of the BNYMAFP Model. KIS does not exercise investment discretion concerning the specific underlying investment vehicles and strategies comprising the BNYMAFP Model. BNYMA retains discretion with respect to individual Client accounts over the implementation of asset allocation changes in the Client’s chosen BNYMAFP Model and may implement asset allocation changes differently with respect to individual Client accounts. Other services offered in connection with the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program include but are not limited to: periodic rebalancing of the Client's securities positions within the Client’s chosen BNYMAFP Model by BNYMA to maintain the desired KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 18 of 34 April 2025 asset allocation; the provision of monthly custodial account statements by Pershing; and the provision of quarterly performance reporting by BNYMA. KIS’s program fees for the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program are negotiable in KIS’s sole and absolute discretion, with fees never exceeding with the Program Fee schedule detailed above. This does not include the Investment Manager or Model Strategist fee. (6) Unified Managed Account Program (“UMA Program”) KIS offers the UMA Program on a non-discretionary basis to its clients through its relationship with BNYMA. BNYMA serves as the investment manager of the UMA Program and acts as a third-party service provider to KIS. The UMA Program is sponsored by KIS. The UMA Program is a discretionary, multi-discipline, multi-manager managed account product housed in a single portfolio with six (6) core models in which a Client may invest either: (i) depending on how the Client scores on an investment profile questionnaire, or (ii) at the Client’s direction. The six (6) core models span the risk/return spectrum from current income model to aggressive growth model within the context of a diversified portfolio. Clients may also choose from multiple model strategist programs as well as Separately Managed Account “SMA” models. BNYMA, serving as a discretionary portfolio manager, determines asset allocation and selects the underlying investment managers (“Investment Managers”) and specific investment vehicles for each investment style based on its proprietary modeling strategies, as well as BNYMA’s macroeconomic outlook and investment discipline. KIS does not exercise investment discretion in the Client’s selection of the third- party model strategists or Investment Managers or in the asset allocation in the underlying investment vehicles and strategies used in a Client’s account. KIS financial professionals, utilizing an investment profile questionnaire, provide Clients with non-discretionary, non-binding recommendations regarding such asset allocation and underlying investment vehicles and strategies to meet Clients’ investment objectives, but Clients direct the overall investment strategy and profile changes to be made in their accounts. Clients are ultimately responsible for the selection of the appropriate asset allocation model and strategy. However, BNYMA has full discretionary authority to invest, reinvest and otherwise deal with assets in the UMA Program Client accounts in its discretion within the model selected by the Client. BNYMA may, when it deems appropriate and without prior consultation with Clients or KIS, buy, sell, exchange, convert and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds, mutual funds, alternative investments and other securities, and may at its discretion replace Investment Managers and underlying investment vehicles if, for example, BNYMA deems such Investment Manager or investment vehicle to be underperforming. BNYMA also provides overlay management services for the Client’s UMA Program account and implements trade orders based on the investment strategies contained in UMA Program portfolios. KIS’s program fees for the UMA Program are negotiable in KIS’s sole and absolute discretion, with fees never exceeding with the Program Fee schedule detailed above. This does not include the Investment Manager or Model Strategist fee. Minimum Fee For all Client wrap accounts, KIS will change the Minimum Fee to $10.83 per month, or $130 per year. The Minimum Fee will be applied to all accounts in which wrap fees based on the applicable Maximum Annual Fee schedule for the KIS Program Fee as otherwise agreed upon with a Client, would be less than the Minimum Fee. In such instances, the wrap fee for the account will be increased up to the amount of the Minimum Fee. The Minimum Fee will be assessed monthly in advance and will not be refunded or applied to offset fees in a subsequent quarter should the amount of the wrap fee otherwise applicable to the account be greater than the Minimum Fee in a subsequent quarter. KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 19 of 34 April 2025 In the event the Minimum Fee would become due for an account, the effective fee for the account expressed as a percentage of assets under management maintained in the account will be greater than the percentage as expressed in the applicable Maximum Annual Fee schedule or wrap fee as otherwise agreed upon with Client in KIS’s discretion, and will fluctuate depending upon the amount of assets maintained in a Client’s account in a given quarter. A Client who participates in a Wrap Program should consider whether, after considering the Minimum Fee, the level of portfolio activity in the Client’s account, the value of the custodial and other services which are provided under the arrangement, the Minimum Fee, if applied, exceeds the aggregate cost of such services if they were to be purchased separately. Because the Minimum Fee may be greater than what would have been the case if the Client paid separately for investment advice and brokerage and other services or participated in another program, financial professionals may have an incentive to recommend, on a nondiscretionary basis, opening or maintaining Wrap Programs over alternative programs or over the purchase of such services separately, including with respect to mutual funds, collective investment vehicles, or other assets that may comprise a Wrap Program account and which may be purchased on an individual basis through KIS’s standard brokerage services. The Minimum Fee would generally apply to small balance accounts with a low level of assets under management, including less than the minimum investment amount typically required to open and maintain a wrap account unless otherwise agreed to with a Client in KIS’s discretion (see Item 5: Account Requirements and Types of Clients), and the Minimum Fee would be greater than the wrap fee generally applicable to the Wrap Program. As a result, KIS and KIS financial professionals have an incentive to recommend, on a non-discretionary basis, that clients open or maintain accounts with less than the minimum investment amount otherwise applicable, and to exercise their discretion to waive the minimum investment amount, including for small accounts with balances that may not be economical to maintain as a wrap account. KIS mitigates this conflict of interest by reviewing the opening and maintenance of small balance accounts to ensure that account balances remain sufficiently high to be economical for the Client to maintain the account. Not all investment advisers apply minimum fee requirements to wrap programs which they sponsor or in which they participate. In the event the Minimum Fee were to become due for an account, the Minimum Fee may render the wrap fee applicable to the account more expensive than fees charged by other investment advisers for similar wrap fee programs. Fees Not Included in Program Fees Fees that are charged by the Investment Manager will be charged in addition to the Program Fees and will be disclosed on your statement. Fees for the various Wrap Programs described herein do not cover all costs or charges arising from these programs. For example, these Wrap Program fees do not cover (i) dealer markups or markdowns that are embedded in the price of certain securities, executed on a “Net” basis; (ii) costs associated with the purchase and sale of mutual funds; (iii) charges imposed by law; (iv) costs relating to trading in foreign securities or currencies; (v) internal charges and fees that may be imposed by any collective investment vehicles such as open-end funds, closed-end funds, index shares, unit investment trusts (“UITs”), ETFs, or real estate investment trusts; (vi) other specialized charges such as transfer taxes, exchange and SEC transaction fees; (vii) any brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by broker dealers or entities other than Pershing (i.e., “step-out trading” costs) and certain liquidation fees; (viii) certain hard dollar fees associated with foreign exchange, taxes and other related fees in connection with American Depository Receipts; (ix) certain charges associated with securities transactions in Client’s account such as spreads charged on transactions in over-the-counter securities and contingent deferred sales charges that may be imposed upon the liquidation of in-kind assets transferred into the program; (x) certain custodial charges that may be charged by a custodian such as a minimum account fee or charges for ACAT transfers, electronic and wire transfer charges, optional services elected by Client, transaction-based ticket charges that may be assessed by custodian for the purchase of certain mutual funds, and certain non-brokerage related charges such as KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 20 of 34 April 2025 IRA trustee fees or IRA termination fees; and (xi) possible mutual fund redemption fees. Please see the prospectus or other disclosure document for the specific collective investment vehicle for detailed information regarding such fees. If there is insufficient cash in a Wrap Program Client account to pay fees, costs or other charges, BNYMA may sell account assets to pay them. Clients should carefully review BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A and their investment management account investment selection forms and terms and conditions for further information on such costs or charges. Please also read carefully BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A to learn what portion of the fees BNYMA and the sub-managers may receive and details regarding what this portion of the fees covers. KIS Program Services KIS assists Wrap Program Clients in the formulation of their investment objectives and advises Clients regarding the suitability of KIS’s Wrap Programs to meet their investment needs, whether a managed account is a suitable investment vehicle for the Client, and whether particular portfolio management options are suitable for the Client considering the Client’s risk tolerance and investment objectives. For all Advisory Products, KIS through a KIS financial professional will consult with the Client and complete, with the Client’s assistance, an investment profile questionnaire to determine the Client’s risk profile score based on the Client’s financial circumstances, investment objectives, and to place any reasonable restrictions on management of the wrap account. Based upon the risk profile score, KIS will assist the Client in selecting investment options from available investment programs. Clients open wrap accounts with KIS and retain KIS to assist the Client in allocating the Client’s assets and in monitoring and/or selecting one or more investment options and to provide trade execution, reporting and custodial services for the account. For additional information regarding Review of Accounts, please see Item 9(4). For all Advisory Products currently offered, KIS introduces the Client’s account to Pershing which will act as custodian for the account. Services offered by Pershing as custodian of the account include all custodial functions customarily performed with respect to such accounts including, but not limited to: back office support, execution of securities transactions (when appropriate), crediting of interest and dividends, and periodic reporting, which reports Pershing will send directly to the Client. A Client who participates in a Wrap Program should consider whether, after considering the level of portfolio activity in the Client’s account, the value of the custodial and the other services which are provided under the arrangement, the wrap fee, including the Minimum Fee if applied to the wrap fee, exceeds the aggregate cost of such services if they were to be purchased separately. Because the wrap fee may be greater than would have been the case if the Client paid separately for investment advice and brokerage and other services or participated in another program, financial professionals may have an incentive to recommend, on a nondiscretionary basis, the Wrap Programs over alternative programs or over the purchase of such services separately, including with respect to mutual funds, collective investment vehicles, or other assets that may comprise a Wrap Program account and which may be purchased on an individual basis through KIS’s standard brokerage services. Investments in mutual funds and ETFs are subject to various other fees that are paid by those portfolios, but ultimately are borne by shareholders through lower returns than would likely be experienced without those fees. These expenses may include investment advisory, administrative, distribution, transfer agent, custodial, legal, audit, and other customary fees related to investment in mutual funds. In addition, securities purchased by an Investment Manager may require that spreads be paid to market makers as markups or markdowns of the price of the security purchased. KIS is generally compensated by fees calculated as a percentage of assets under management and may also on occasion be compensated through fixed-fee arrangements. Fees that are calculated as a percentage of assets under management are generally charged monthly in advance, based upon the end of day balance of KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 21 of 34 April 2025 the previous month end of assets under management, including money market and other cash equivalent assets, during the prior month. All fees are deducted from the account unless otherwise agreed. KIS or the Client may generally terminate a Client Agreement at any time by written notice, in some cases with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. If a Client terminates the agreement within five (5) business days after it has been signed by the Client and accepted by KIS, the Client generally will receive a full refund of all fees and expenses. If the Client Agreement is terminated at any time after five (5) business days of its signing and during a month, the Client will be entitled to a pro rata refund of any prepaid fees, in each case based upon the number of days remaining in the month after the date upon which notice of termination is received. For all Advisory Products, Clients are charged a program fee every calendar month in advance. The maximum program fee that Clients may be charged is set forth in the tables above in the description of the applicable Advisory Product. The program fee paid by a particular Client is set forth in the Client Agreement as it may be amended. KIS shares a portion of the program fee for Advisory Products with Pershing, BNYMA and/or any applicable sub-managers for their respective services. No program fee adjustments are made for any billing period with respect to partial withdrawals within a billing period. Program fees do not cover all costs or charges arising from these accounts. For further information, please see “Fees Not Included in Program Fee” above, the Advisory Product descriptions in Item 4 above, and the respective third-party service provider’s applicable Form ADV Part 2 brochure. In KIS’s sole and absolute discretion: a) it may negotiate varying fees for Clients; b) certain related accounts may be aggregated for purposes of applying the applicable fee schedule as if the accounts were one account; c) account minimums may be waived; and d) KIS may also charge different fees than the fees summarized in this brochure, such as a flat fee rate such that assets will be charged the same rate regardless of the amount of assets in the account based upon factors deemed relevant by KIS such as additional assets under management in different programs or other business relationships with the Client. This could cause Clients who do not receive such treatment to pay more for the same or similar services. KIS may in its sole discretion change the actual fee charged upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Client. Clients must either accept the change or close the account. Because KIS’s advisory fees and those of the other third-party investment advisers within the firm’s advisory program are based on assets under management, KIS and those third-party investment advisers have a conflict of interest in valuing securities held in Client accounts, since a higher valuation produces higher advisory fees. For Client Accounts for which Pershing acts as the custodian, securities listed on any national securities exchange shall be valued, as of the valuation date, at the closing price on the principal exchange on which those securities are traded. Pershing shall value any other securities or investments in a manner determined by Pershing in good faith to reflect fair market value. Any such valuation should not be considered a guarantee of any kind whatsoever with respect to the value of such securities or investments. Pershing in its sole discretion may use the services of an independent evaluator, as well as other independent sources with respect to the computation of market value of securities. The data contained in those reports has not been verified by Pershing or KIS. A Client may request that uninvested cash funds in their account awaiting permanent investment to be swept into the Dreyfus Insured Deposit Program (the “Sweep Program”) offered through Pershing. Pershing operates the Sweep Program which, if the Client chooses to participate, will sweep Client’s excess cash balances in their brokerage account at Pershing into interest-bearing bank deposit accounts (“Deposit Accounts”) at various depository institutions (“Program Banks”) and sweeps a Client’s cash from the various Program Banks to cover purchases of securities and other debits in the Client’s brokerage account carried at Pershing. The Client receives interest on balances held on deposit at the various Program Banks. Interest rates may fluctuate and are based on the interest rates determined and paid by the respective KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 22 of 34 April 2025 Program Banks in which a Client’s balances are invested. A Client may receive a lower rate of return on balances invested through the Sweep Program than on other investment or cash sweep alternatives. A Client will not have a direct access to the funds deposited with the Program Banks, but a Client may access his or her funds through their account by contacting their financial professional to process such a request through Pershing. A Client’s brokerage statement will list the names of the Program Banks holding the Client’s balances, as well as how much is on deposit with each respective Program Bank. Pershing or its affiliated companies (Promontory InterFinancial Network (“Promontory”) and Dreyfus Cash Investment Services, a division of MBSC Securities Corporation (“Dreyfus”) who provide services to the Sweep Program may change Program Banks participating in the Sweep Program and their priority for receiving deposits from time to time. Pershing, Promontory and Dreyfus earn fees (which may or may not be account-based) on the amount of money in the Program, including a Client’s balances. Pershing or Dreyfus may be affiliated with Program Banks. KIS’s affiliated banks are not currently Program Banks. For further information concerning the Sweep Program (including the eligibility of deposited funds for FDIC insurance of up to $250,000 per insurable interest), please read the Dreyfus Insured Deposit Program Disclosure Statement and Terms and Conditions for Single Rate Program which is supplied at account opening or is available on request from a Client’s KIS financial professional. Payments to Financial Professionals KIS will share its portion of the program fee it receives with the KIS financial professional for the Client’s account (“Fee Split”). KIS will provide a greater portion of the Fee Split to its financial professionals in connection with new accounts opened in the first year than in subsequent years. The payment by KIS of additional compensation to a financial professional will not affect the amount of the program fee charged to the Client’s account. The amount of such compensation may be greater than what the KIS financial professional would receive if the Client purchased separately KIS’s brokerage or other services as such services. Such personnel may, therefore, have a financial incentive to recommend, on a nondiscretionary basis, these Wrap Programs over other investment products, programs or services. At certain levels of referral to KeyBank your financial professional could be entitled to a bonus of the net new assets referred multiplied by 25 basis points (0.0025 multiplied by net new assets). Net new assets are those which, at the time of the referral are not in a KIS or KeyBank investment account. In calculating net new assets, your financial professional could receive credit for 100% of the first $2,000,000 of referrals and 50% of the next $8,000,000 of referrals with no credit for amounts above $10,000,000. In addition, KIS considers advisory product production as a factor in determining certain other incentives, such as attendance at its annual securities symposium. Finally, KIS and KeyBank support certain programs where top producing financial professionals and select others receive cash bonuses and expense paid trips (airfare, meals and hotel). These may be paid in part by Marketing Allowances or Revenue Sharing payment paid to KIS. Please see KIS’s Best Interest Client Disclosure Guide for a fuller explanation. Ask your financial professional for a copy or go to www.key.com/kisregbi. These payments present a conflict of interest because they create an incentive for KIS and your financial professional to refer you to KeyBank for investments that entail such payments rather than investments that do not entail these payments or entail less of these payments. Additionally, investments with an affiliate such as KeyBank benefit the affiliate, KIS and their parent financial holding company more than non- affiliate investments. This may induce the financial professional to refer you to invest with an affiliate over investing with others which creates a conflict of interest. Other Fees and Compensation Received by KIS from Third Parties Certain mutual funds in which Clients may invest, distribute or may distribute payments to KIS and/or Pershing as clearing broker for KIS, including payments from mutual funds for which neither KIS nor any KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 23 of 34 April 2025 of its affiliates or subsidiaries (“Key”) serves as an investment adviser, fund manager, or distributor (“Non- Proprietary Mutual Funds”). Such payments may be made pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan or other arrangements as compensation to help defray the costs of services offered by KIS and made available to fund families such as for distribution, shareholder services, record keeping, administrative services, and the costs of KIS financial professional training and continuing education and sales events. Such payments may be distributed from the fund’s total assets. In addition, Key has entered into arrangements with Non- Proprietary Mutual Fund companies under which the Non-Proprietary Mutual Funds and/or the Non- Proprietary Mutual Fund companies compensate Key for services provided to the Non-Proprietary Mutual Funds and/or the Non-Proprietary Mutual Fund companies. These fees for services are in addition to, and will not reduce, Key’s compensation for other services provided to Clients’ accounts. Such fees for services will not be paid directly by Clients’ accounts but will be paid to Key by the Non-Proprietary Mutual Fund company or the Non-Proprietary Mutual Fund itself. KIS has a financial incentive to recommend, on a nondiscretionary basis, these mutual funds to Clients over mutual funds that don’t make these payments. Individual KIS financial professionals do not directly receive any portion of these payments. The 12b-1 fees received by KIS and other fee arrangements will be disclosed upon Client request and are typically disclosed in the applicable fund’s prospectus. KIS will credit or cause to be credited any 12b-1 fees that it may receive from a mutual fund in connection with a Client’s wrap account back to the Client’s wrap account. KIS will retain any other fee and that fee is in addition to the Advisory Product Fees discussed herein. For further information, Clients should carefully review their KIS Standard Advisory Contract and Client Agreement and the prospectus for the applicable mutual fund. Pershing has entered into agreements with certain mutual fund companies that pay Pershing for performing certain services for the mutual fund. Pursuant to these agreements, Pershing receives fees for operational services from mutual funds in the form of networking or omnibus processing fees. The reimbursements are remitted to Pershing for its work on behalf of the funds. This work may include, but is not limited to, sub-accounting services, dividend calculation and posting, accounting, reconciliation, Client confirmation and statement preparation and mailing and tax statement preparation and mailing. These reimbursements are based either on (a) a flat fee ranging from $10 to $20 per holding or (b) a percentage of assets that can range from 0 to 15 basis points for domestic funds and 0 to 30 basis points for offshore funds. Mutual funds that are available in Pershing’s FundVest no-transaction fee mutual fund program may pay Pershing servicing fees in exchange for being offered in Pershing’s FundVest Program (“FundVest Program”). These payments are based on a percentage of assets and can range from 7 to 40 basis points. KIS is entitled to receive certain asset-based revenue sharing fees from Pershing if assets under management in mutual funds in the FundVest Program from KIS’s Clients exceed $10,000,000. Such payment will be at the rate of 0.0040 multiplied by assets under management in funds participating in the FundVest Program. While KIS does not have discretion to invest in such funds, the additional compensation gives KIS a financial incentive to recommend, on a non-discretionary basis, funds participating in the FundVest Program over other funds. In addition, Pershing will pay KIS for certain distribution assistance services regarding the money market fund(s) or bank-based money market account(s) held in a Client’s underlying brokerage account as sweep options. This fee varies depending on the type of fund held and the average fund balance held by Clients. The fee varies from 0.15% to 0.65% of the average fund balances.

The minimum required investment for each Investment Manager model selected within the UMA Program varies, between $10,000 - $100,000. KIS provides Wrap Programs to individuals, trusts, estates, and small businesses. Please read carefully BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A for information about BNYMA’s clients. Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation As described in Item 4, KIS is a Wrap Program Sponsor by which it provides access to certain investment advisory products including: the Programs offered through BNYMA (i.e., the AFP Program, the Russell Programs, the BlackRock Programs, the BNY Mellon Target Risk Focus Program, the Calvert Program, the Vanguard Program, the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program, the SMA Program, the Key Programs, and the UMA Program). BNYMA is the third-party Money Manager of the Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program and the AFP Program. BNYMA is the discretionary money manager with respect to covered SMA managers on BNYMA’s SMA platform, including the Key Programs, and the UMA Program. BNYMA selects, reviews and replaces the investment vehicles and sub-managers for the BNY Mellon Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program, the AFP Program, the SMA Program, and the UMA Program. According to BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A, the Manager Research Group of BNY Mellon (“BYNMMRG”) is the primary manager research provider to and provides manager and investment vehicle research to BNYMA. BNYMA is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon. BNYMA retains decision-making responsibility regarding managers and investment vehicles included in its programs and products. According to information in BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A, BNYMA considers various sources of information and criteria in selecting and the ongoing evaluation of investment vehicles and sub-managers for its wrap products and programs, which include the BNY Mellon Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program and the AFP Program. According to BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A, with respect to portfolio managers and model managers, BNYMA, through BYNMMRG, may consider a variety of criteria such as reviews of assets under management, KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 25 of 34 April 2025 personnel, registration, disclosures and regulatory history. The criteria employed for each manager may not be identical and instead may be based on the nature of the manager’s portfolios and investment philosophy. According to BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A, BNYMA, through BYNMMRG, uses a screening process to evaluate mutual funds. According to BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A, criteria employed in the screening process may vary depending on a variety of factors, but may include a range of criteria including analysis of: • Particular investment style; • Evaluation of the portfolio management team; • Performance criteria; and • Costs associated with the fund. According to BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A, BNYMA, through BYNMMRG, uses a comparable screening process to evaluate ETFs, and may consider a range of factors including: • Tracked index or benchmark; • Performance; • Comparables; • Personnel; and • Content of the particular ETF. Clients should read carefully BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A for required disclosures concerning the Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/American Funds Program, the AFP Program, the SMA Program, and the UMA Program, including with respect to BNYMA’s investment vehicle and sub-manager selection and evaluation process and potential conflicts of interest created by BNYMA’s use of the BYNMMRG. KIS utilizes a monitoring program, which is administered by an Investment Advisory Sub-Committee to its Product Due Diligence Committee as set forth in Item 4, to evaluate its third-party service providers participating in KIS’s Wrap Programs. KIS utilizes various analysts, some of whom may be third party firms and its affiliated bank, KeyBank, to assist in the review of the analysis performed and supplied by BNYMA regarding its review of the Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/AmericanFunds Program, the AFP Program, the SMA Program, and the UMA Program. The Investment Advisory Sub- Committee reviews annually the performance of BNYMA as Money Manager of the Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/AmericanFunds Program, and the AFP Program. This review considers a combination of factors based on aggregated or summary information to evaluate BNYMA’s overall management and selection of investment vehicles and sub-managers within the Target Risk Focus Program, the BNY Mellon/AmericanFunds Program, the AFP Program, SMA Program, and the UMA Program products, including details regarding performance consistency and performance relative to peers, among other factors.

This could result in conflicts of interest where one firm hires an affiliate as a portfolio manager or other service provider. For further information, please read carefully BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A and the Dreyfus Insured Deposit Program Disclosure Statement and Terms and Conditions for Single Rate Program, either of which is supplied at account opening or is available on request from a Client’s KIS financial professional. BNYMA, Promontory, Dreyfus and Pershing are not affiliated with KIS. Certain Investment Managers or sub-managers may, as part of their independent trading strategies, purchase securities issued by KeyCorp or may purchase securities through or securities underwritten by KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., KIS’s corporate parent company, and in the SMA Program or other Programs. KIS and its financial professionals: • do not exercise discretion over these Programs; • do not require, encourage, or have advance notice of or coordinate with BNYMA, or any other Investment Manager to purchase affiliated securities, to purchase securities through a KIS affiliate, or to purchase securities underwritten by a KIS affiliate; or • do not receive compensation in the event an Investment Manager was to purchase such securities. Nevertheless, the benefits to KIS’s parent and holding company from the purchase of securities issued by, through or underwritten by such entities may create a potential conflict of interest. BNYMA is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon. According to BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A brochure, Vanguard Group, Inc. and BlackRock Fund Advisers (affiliates of VAI and BIM, respectively) are two of the top ten institutional owners of BNY Mellon common stock. The BNY Mellon stock holdings by the parents of VAI and BIM and other fund managers participating in the KIS advisory program, may create a conflict of interest by incenting BNYMA to include these managers and their affiliated investment managers or their products in BNYMA’s managed account program. BNYMA represents in its Form ADV Part 2A that the holdings of its parent’s shares by Vanguard Group and BlackRock Fund Advisors did not and does not affect BNYMA’s decision to include these managers and their affiliated investment managers or their products in BNYMA’s managed account program, and that these managers and their products are subject to BNYMA’s due diligence. For further information, please see BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A. Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers Privacy is an important issue. KeyCorp’s Privacy Notice is initially given to the Client upon the opening of an account and is subsequently provided at least annually thereafter and upon request. KIS solicits KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 28 of 34 April 2025 information concerning a Client’s name, address, financial situation, investment experience, tax status, tax reporting information and other personal non-public information. KIS will ask for this prior to recommending, on a non-discretionary basis, a wrap account and on an annual basis thereafter. KIS will provide that information to participating third-party service providers so that they may service the Client’s account. The third-party service provider may then provide it to the portfolio manager, if any, for account servicing purposes. Please review BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A for further information on this item with respect to BNYMA advisory products. For KIS SMA Program Clients, please also review your selected Investment Manager(s) Form ADV Part 2A for further information. In addition, KIS will also provide such Client information to Pershing or other service providers as necessary in connection with the performance of services for Client accounts. Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Clients should first contact their KIS financial professional for the financial professional to arrange a direct consultation between the Client and BNYMA. For further information on contacting portfolio managers, please read carefully BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A. Item 9: Additional Information (1) Disciplinary Information On May 21, 2024, KIS consented to the entry of an Order with the SEC (the “May 2024 Order”), which found that KIS willfully violated Rule 15l-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act and Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, KIS has agreed to a cease-and-desist order, a censure, and a civil money penalty of $223,228. According to the May 2024 Order, between June 30, 2020 and February 2022, KIS failed to comply with Regulation Best Interest by recommending, through its registered representatives and investment adviser representatives, that certain of its brokerage customers and advisory clients transfer securities from KIS accounts to new investment accounts with KIS’s affiliate KeyBank National Association that is part of the same parent organization, without disclosing that the representatives would receive compensation for making the recommendations and for any securities transfers, and therefore had a conflict of interest. The May 2024 Order further finds that KIS’s written policies and procedures were not reasonably designed to achieve compliance with KIS’s disclosure obligations under Regulation Best Interest and the Advisers Act with regard to conflicts of interest associated with the recommendations to transfer securities out of KIS brokerage and advisory accounts to investment accounts held at KeyBank National Association or to identify and address the associated conflicts of interest. In February 2024, KIS and KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc. (“KBCM”) consented to the entry of an Order with the SEC (the “February 2024 Order”), which found that KIS and KBCM willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4(b)(4) thereunder and KIS willfully violated Section 204 of the Advisers Act and Rule 204-2(a)(7) thereunder, in connection with a failure to maintain or preserve records of certain business-related communications made by KIS and KBCM associates when they used their personal devices (“off-channel communications”). The February 2024 Order also found that KIS and KBCM failed to implement their policies and procedures that prohibited such communications leading to a failure to reasonably supervise its associates within the meaning of Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Exchange Act and, for KIS, within the meaning of Section 203(e)(6) of the Advisers Act. The February 2024 Order was related to an SEC risk-based initiative, whereby the SEC investigated a large number of financial services firms to determine whether those firms were properly retaining business-related messages sent and received on employees’ personal devices. Following the commencement of the SEC’s initiative, KIS and KBCM cooperated with the SEC, enhanced their policies and procedures, and increased training concerning the use of approved communications methods, including on personal devices, and began implementing changes to the technology available to employees. As part of the February Order, KIS and KBCM admitted KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 29 of 34 April 2025 to the facts in the February 2024 Order, were censured, were ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a- 4(b)(4) thereunder, and agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $10 million. KIS was also ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 204 of the Advisers Act and Rule 204-2(a)(7) thereunder. In addition, KIS and KBCM agreed to certain undertakings, including retaining an independent compliance consultant to conduct a review of each firm’s policies and procedures, training, surveillance program, technology solutions and similar matters related to off-channel communications. On December 5, 2019, KIS entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) to conclude an investigation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) with respect to the firm’s broker-dealer operations. Without admitting or denying the findings, KIS consented to: a censure; a fine of $425,000; restitution to certain customers of $589,221.66; disgorgement to certain customers of $134,169.40; and certify within 120 days in writing to FINRA that it has implemented supervisory systems and written supervisory procedures reasonably designed to address each of the areas of conduct identified. The findings stated among other things that: (1) between November 2010 and June 2014, KIS failed to establish and maintain supervisory systems and procedures that were reasonably designed to achieve compliance with its suitability obligations when recommending certain unit investment trusts (“UIT”) which invested in leveraged closed-end funds, including to provide reasonable guidance or training to its registered representatives and supervisors about the potential risks and volatility of these products; although the firm manually reviewed these transactions, it failed to identify or follow up on red flags in approximately 100 recommended purchases of UITs that raised suitability concerns due to the customers’ risk tolerance and investment profile; and, the firm has since undertaken significant efforts to address the supervisory and operational issues that FINRA raised during its investigation, including independently retaining compliance and product consultants; (2) between July 2012 and June 2014, KIS failed to enforce its supervisory procedures that required the collection and documentation of customer-specific suitability factors on account update forms when making new recommendations of securities to existing customers; and the firm addressed the issue by authorizing registered representatives to enter account update information directly into the firm’s system with confirmations sent to the customers, and among other things, by blocking newly solicited trades until the account update form had been obtained or the information had been otherwise entered into the system; and (3) between November 2010 and October 2013, KIS provided inaccurate information to customers in approximately 189 switch disclosure letters (“SDL”) regarding the sales charges, costs, and expenses of the UITs; although the firm also provided the customers a copy of the prospectus for the UITs which included a fee table, the inaccurate information on the SDL potentially confused certain customers by making switching into the new UIT appear more financially advantageous; the firm’s compliance department identified through its surveillance that SDLs were not always disclosing completely or accurately the fees on UIT switches, it issued guidance to its sales force including regarding the calculation of fees which reduced but did not eliminate the exception rates previously identified; and the firm corrected the problem when it eliminated the manual estimation and transcription of sales charges and/or expenses and instead attached to the SDL a copy of the fee table from the UIT prospectus. On January 27, 2016, KIS entered into an AWC to conclude an investigation by FINRA. Without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, KIS consented to a censure, a fine of $100,000, restitution of $100,247.02, and to FINRA’s findings that KIS in its broker-dealer operations failed to identify and apply sales charge discounts to certain customers’ eligible purchases of UITs resulting in customers paying excessive sales charges of approximately $95,254.34. The findings stated that KIS had already paid restitution to all affected customers in addition to interest of $4,992.68. The findings also stated with respect to price discounts for UIT rollover transactions that KIS failed to establish, maintain and enforce a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures reasonably designed so that customers received rollover discounts on all eligible UIT purchases.

KIS financial professionals may also act as insurance agents in connection with the sale of insurance products that are available through KeyCorp Insurance Agency USA Inc., an affiliated insurance agency.

Certain of KIS’s affiliates also provide investment banking, foreign exchange, interest rate risk and equity risk management services and equity and fixed income proprietary research. Various affiliates of KIS sponsor investment-related limited partnerships and limited liability companies and serve as general partner and manager, respectively, of such entities. KIS generally does not recommend that its advisory Clients invest in these entities and has no arrangements that are material to its advisory business or its Clients with any of these entities, or with their affiliated sponsors with respect to such entities. KeyCorp’s bank and trust company subsidiaries offer personal and corporate trust services, personal financial services, access to mutual funds, cash management services, investment banking and capital markets products, and international banking services.

It also provides certain shared services to KIS including real estate services, payroll and other services. (3) Code of Ethics KIS has adopted an Investment Advisory Code of Ethics (“Advisory Code of Ethics”) that governs the activities of KIS supervised personnel, which requires KIS and its financial professionals to exercise their fiduciary duty to Clients, to act in the best interest of the Client and always place the Client’s interests first and foremost. KIS takes seriously its compliance and regulatory obligations and requires all KIS personnel to comply with such rules and regulations, as well as with KIS’ policies and procedures and Advisory Code of Ethics. Further, KIS strives to handle Clients’ non-public information in such a way to protect such information from falling into hands that have no business reason to know such information and provides Clients with KeyCorp’s Privacy Policy. KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 31 of 34 April 2025 The Advisory Code of Ethics contains provisions for standards of business conduct to comply with federal securities laws, personal securities reporting requirements, pre-approval procedures for certain transactions, reporting requirements for Advisory Code of Ethics violations, and the safeguarding of material non-public information about Client transactions. Further, KIS’s Advisory Code of Ethics establishes KIS’s expectation for business conduct. KIS’s Advisory Code of Ethics is distributed to each KIS employee at the time of hire/contract, and as it is modified. In addition, KIS requires an annual certification by all employees regarding their understanding and compliance with the Advisory Code of Ethics, as amended. KIS also supplements the Advisory Code of Ethics with annual training and ongoing monitoring of employee activity. KIS’s employees also are required to adhere to KeyCorp’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. All employees must acknowledge the terms of KeyCorp’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, as amended, annually. A copy of KIS’s Advisory Code of Ethics will be provided to any Client or prospective Client upon request to our Compliance Department at 1-888-547-2968. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions KIS financial professionals are registered representatives with KIS and must execute securities transactions through KIS. Related persons of KIS (i.e., any advisory affiliate and any person that is under common control with KIS) can buy or sell securities identical to those securities recommended, on a non-discretionary, by KIS financial professionals to Clients. Therefore, related persons will have an interest or position in certain securities that are also recommended and bought or sold to Clients. The policy of KIS is that related persons shall not put their interests before a Client’s interest. Financial professionals may not trade ahead of their Clients or trade in such a way to obtain a better price for themselves than for their Clients. KIS is required to maintain a list of all securities holdings for its associated persons. Further, associated persons are prohibited from trading on non-public information or sharing such information. KIS and its associated persons are required to conduct their securities and investment advisory business in accordance with all applicable Federal and State securities regulations. In accordance with Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, KIS also maintains and enforces written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of non-public information by KIS or any person associated with KIS. Further, the Code of Ethics contains prohibitions against such transactions. No KIS financial professional or related person is permitted to recommend securities to advisory accounts or buy or sell securities for advisory accounts at or about the same time that the financial professional or related person buys or sells the same securities for the financial professional’s own or related person’s account. KIS requires that all financial professionals’ personal brokerage accounts be held at KIS. If an employee cannot obtain needed services at KIS, it requires firm approval and copies of all brokerage statements be provided to it directly from the third-party broker. (4) Review of Accounts As set forth in Item 4, KIS has established an Investment Advisory Sub-Committee of senior KIS managers to review third party service providers and their advisory products on an annual basis to ensure general suitability and that the respective Advisory Product’s investment performance is appropriate. Additionally, BNYMA will present semi-annually for review to the KIS Investment Advisory Sub-Committee their KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 32 of 34 April 2025 research and reviews of the Investment Managers that participate in our SMA Program. Your KIS financial professional will review your account annually with you to ensure that it is still a suitable investment for you. In addition, before a wrap fee account is recommended, on a non-discretionary basis, the KIS financial professional makes reasonable efforts to obtain information about the Client’s financial status, investment objectives, trading history, size of portfolio, nature of securities held and account diversification. Based on these factors and any other relevant information, the financial professional considers whether the account recommended, on a non-discretionary basis, is appropriate considering the services provided, the projected cost to the Client, alternative fee structures that may be available, and the Client’s fee structure preferences. Continued suitability is monitored annually with the Client based on the initial factors set forth previously and any new information received concerning the Client’s financial situation. Clients are urged to contact their KIS financial professional if any significant change in their financial situation occurs so that their plan may be reviewed. Generally, for each month in which there is activity in a Client’s account, or, if there is no activity, on a quarterly basis, Clients receive, through Pershing, a written account statement which includes, among other information, a summary of transactions and an inventory of holdings. BNYMA may also make available quarterly performance statements of Client accounts detailing account performance, securities positions, and investment activity to KIS and its financial professionals. The quarterly performance statements are intended to provide KIS and its financial professionals with sufficient information to determine whether the investment managers are performing in accordance with certain objective standards, such as a comparison of a Client’s account performance with the performance of a relevant index, other investment managers with investment objectives similar to the Client’s account, and other factors as KIS may deem appropriate. The quarterly performance statement data may be based upon information obtained from third parties. The data contained in those statements is not verified by KIS. Clients also receive brokerage confirmations unless this option is waived by the Client. BNYMA and other Investment Managers monitor and review their Clients’ accounts pursuant to their own compliance and supervisory systems of account review. Please read carefully BNYMA’s Form ADV Part 2A. For KIS SMA Program Clients, please also review your selected Investment Manager(s) Form ADV Part 2A for further information. (5) Client Referrals and Other Compensation KIS does not pay referral fees to any third party that is not supervised by it. Certain compensation plans which its affiliate, KeyBank, sponsors are discretionary bonus plans. Revenues from KIS may be one of several factors (most of which are not based on the revenues generated by securities transactions) that determine the amount of the bonus under such discretionary bonus plans. KIS’s revenue may be higher as a result of a referral from a non-supervised banker and thus might affect the payout to that banker. However, referrals by a non-supervised banker may not be considered in determining bonus payments. Referrals to KeyBank for Banking Products and Services Your financial professional may act as a finder for KeyBank products including trust and private banking and may recommend that you speak with a KeyBank associate in determining whether to open an investment or trust account with KeyBank. If you have an account at KIS, you are referred to KeyBank and you decide to move your account to KeyBank your financial professional will receive a quarterly payment of 90 basis points (.0090 times the value of the assets moved times 25%) for two years. These payments do not directly affect your fees that were agreed to with KeyBank. These payments present a conflict of interest because they create an incentive for KIS and your financial professional to refer you to KeyBank for investments that entail such payments rather than investments that do not entail these payments or entail less of these payments. Additionally, investments with an affiliate KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 33 of 34 April 2025 such as KeyBank benefit the affiliate, KIS and their parent financial holding company more than non- affiliate investments. This may induce the financial professional to refer you to invest with an affiliate over investing with others which creates a conflict of interest. Referrals from KeyBank Clients and prospective clients are often introduced to KIS through referrals from our affiliate KeyBank and its associates. KeyBank associates are bank employees, and most are not licensed to recommend the purchase or sale of securities or investment advisory services. KIS maintains a networking agreement with KeyBank pursuant to which KeyBank will pay its non-licensed KeyBank associates a nominal one-time cash fee of a fixed dollar amount for each referral of a prospective client to us for our broker-dealer and investment advisory services. KeyBank pays this one-time referral fee to the non-licensed KeyBank associate irrespective of whether the prospective referred client opens a brokerage or investment advisory account with, or purchases a securities product from, KIS. These payments come from KeyBank and do not affect your fees that were agreed to with KIS. KeyBank associates who are licensed with KIS may receive referral compensation ranging from 0.15% to 0.40% on transaction volume. These payments present a conflict of interest because they create an incentive for KeyBank and the KeyBank associate to refer you to KIS for investments that entail such payments rather than investments that do not entail these payments or entail less of these payments. Additionally, investments with an affiliate such as KIS benefit the affiliate, KeyBank and their parent financial holding company more than non- affiliate investments. This may induce KeyBank and the KeyBank associate to refer you to invest with KIS over investing with others which creates a conflict of interest. (6) Financial Information KIS does not require its Clients to pre-pay more than $1,200 in fees per Client six months in advance. KIS is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual commitments to Clients. KIS has never filed or been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. KIS Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 34 of 34 April 2025
