Pleasantdale Wealth Management, LLC (“PDW”) was founded in 2018 and became registered with the state to offer investment advisory services in 2019 and with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2025. William “Bill” Dudes is 80% owner. Michael Dudes and Brian Dudes are each 10% owners. Types of Advisory Services ASSET MANAGEMENT PDW offers discretionary asset management services to advisory Clients. PDW will offer Clients ongoing asset management services through determining individual investment goals, time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance. Investment strategies, investment selection, asset allocation, portfolio monitoring and the overall investment program will be based on the above factors. The Client will authorize PDW discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement. FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING If financial planning services are applicable, a thorough review of all applicable topics including but not limited to, Wills, Estate Plans and Trusts, Investments, Taxes, Qualified Plans, Insurance, Retirement Income, Social Security, College Planning, and Divorce Planning will be reviewed. If a conflict of interest exists between the interests of PDW and the interests of the Client, the Client is under no obligation to act upon PDW’s recommendation. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the Client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through PDW. Financial plans will be completed and delivered inside of thirty (30) days contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation. ERISA PLAN SERVICES PDW provides service to qualified retirement plans including 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, pension and profit-sharing plans, cash balance plans, and deferred compensation plans. PDW may act as either a 3(21) or 3(38) advisor: Limited Scope ERISA 3(21) Fiduciary. PDW may serve as a limited scope ERISA 3(21) fiduciary that can advise, help and assist plan sponsors with their investment decisions on a non-discretionary basis. As an investment advisor PDW has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the Client. The plan sponsor is still ultimately responsible for the decisions made in their plan, though using PDW can help the plan sponsor delegate liability by following a diligent process. 1. Fiduciary Services are: • Provide non-discretionary investment advice to the Client about asset classes and investment alternatives available for the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s investment policies and objectives. Client will make the final decision regarding the initial selection, retention, removal and addition of investment options. PDW acknowledges that it is a fiduciary as defined in ERISA section 3 (21) (A) (ii). - 1 -  • Assist the Client in the development of an investment policy statement (“IPS”). The IPS establishes the investment policies and objectives for the Plan. Client shall have the ultimate responsibility and authority to establish such policies and objectives and to adopt and amend the IPS. • Provide non-discretionary investment advice to the Plan Sponsor with respect to the selection of a qualified default investment alternative for participants who are automatically enrolled in the Plan or who have otherwise failed to make investment elections. The Client retains the sole responsibility to provide all notices to the Plan participants required under ERISA Section 404(c) (5) and 404(a)-5. • Assist in monitoring investment options by preparing periodic investment reports that document investment performance, consistency of fund management and conformance to the guidelines set forth in the IPS and make recommendations to maintain, remove or replace investment options. • Meet with Client on a periodic basis to discuss the reports and the investment recommendations. 2. Non-fiduciary Services are: • Assist in the education of Plan participants about general investment information and the investment alternatives available to them under the Plan. Client understands PDW’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, PDW is not providing fiduciary advice as defined by ERISA 3(21)(A)(ii) to the Plan participants. Advisor will not provide investment advice concerning the prudence of any investment option or 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. PDW may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other providers to offer these services, as agreed upon between Advisor and Client. 3. PDW has no responsibility to provide services related to the following types of assets (“Excluded Assets”): • 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. - 2 -  Excluded Assets will not be included in calculation of Fees paid to PDW on the ERISA Agreement. Specific services will be outlined in detail to each plan in the 408(b)2 disclosure. ERISA 3(38) Investment Manager. PDW can also act as an ERISA 3(38) Investment Manager in which it has discretionary management and control of a given retirement plan’s assets. PDW would then become solely responsible and liable for the selection, monitoring and replacement of the plan’s investment options. 1. Fiduciary Services are: • PDW has discretionary authority and will make the final decision regarding the initial selection, retention, removal and addition of investment options in accordance with the Plan’s investment policies and objectives. • Assist the Client with the selection of a broad range of investment options consistent with ERISA Section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder. • Assist the Client in the development of an investment policy statement (“IPS”). The IPS establishes the investment policies and objectives for the Plan. • Provide discretionary investment advice to the Plan Sponsor with respect to the selection of a qualified default investment alternative for participants who are automatically enrolled in the Plan or who have otherwise failed to make investment elections. 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 alternatives available to them under the Plan. Client understands the PDW’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 PDW is not providing fiduciary advice as defined by ERISA to the Plan participants. PDW will not provide investment advice concerning the prudence of any investment option or 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. PDW may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other providers to offer these services, as agreed upon between PDW and Client. 3. PDW has no responsibility to provide services related to the following types of assets (“Excluded Assets”): • Employer securities; • Real estate (except for real estate funds or publicly traded REITs); • Stock brokerage accounts or mutual fund windows; • Participant loans; - 3 -  • 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. Excluded Assets will not be included in calculation of Fees paid to the Adviser on the ERISA Agreement. Specific services will be outlined in detail to each plan in the 408(b)2 disclosure. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions 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 restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Agreements may not be assigned without written Client consent. Wrap Fee Programs PDW does not sponsor any wrap fee programs. Client Assets Under Management PDW has the following assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: $111,900,000 $1,800,000 Date Calculated: December 31, 2025 Item 5: Fees and Compensation Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule ASSET MANAGEMENT PDW offers discretionary direct asset management services to advisory Clients. PDW charges an annual investment advisory fee based on the total assets under management as follows: Assets Under Management Up to $1,000,000 Over $1,000,000 Annual Fee 1.45% 1.10% Monthly Fee .1208% .0916% This is a flat rate/breakpoint fee schedule, the entire portfolio is charged the same asset management fee. For example, a Client with $750,000 under management would pay $10,875 on an annual basis. $750,000 x 1.45% = $10,875. The annual fee may be negotiable based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with Clients, etc.). Fees are billed monthly in advance based on the amount of assets managed as of the close of business on the last business day of the previous month. 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. Clients may terminate advisory services with thirty (30) days written notice. For accounts opened or closed mid-billing - 4 -  period, fees will be prorated based on the days services are provided during the given period. All unpaid earned fees will be due to PDW. Additionally, all 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. Layering of Fees (Mutual Fund Investments) Clients should be aware that investments in mutual funds involve certain fees and expenses that are separate from, and in addition to, the advisory fees charged by our firm. Mutual funds typically assess internal expenses, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other operational costs. These expenses are reflected in the fund’s expense ratio and are deducted from the fund’s assets on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, clients invested in mutual funds will incur a layering of fees—both the advisory fee paid to our firm and the internal expenses of the mutual funds themselves. These combined costs can have a direct impact on overall investment returns, as higher total expenses reduce the net performance experienced by the investor over time. For clients invested solely in mutual funds, this layering effect may be more pronounced because all invested assets are subject to both advisory fees and fund-level expenses. Over extended periods, even relatively small differences in fees can compound and result in materially lower returns. We seek to mitigate the impact of these layered costs by evaluating available share classes and selecting investments that we believe are appropriate for the client’s objectives, including, where applicable, institutional or lower-cost share classes. However, clients should carefully review all applicable fees and consider their cumulative effect on investment performance. FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING PDW charges an hourly fee for financial planning. Prior to the planning process the Client will be provided an estimated plan fee. Services are completed and delivered inside of thirty (30) days contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation. Client may cancel within five (5) business days of signing Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. 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 PDW a pro rata basis based on number of hours spent by PDW. PDW reserves the right to waive the fee should the Client implement the plan through PDW. HOURLY FEES Financial Planning Services are offered based on an hourly fee of $200 per hour. Fees for financial plans are: Billed 50% in advance with the balance due upon plan delivery. ERISA PLAN SERVICES The annual fees are based on the market value of the Included Assets and will not exceed 1.25%. The annual fee is negotiable and will be charged as a percentage of the Included Assets. Fees may be charged quarterly or monthly in arrears or in advance based on the - 5 -  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, PDW 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. The fee schedule, which includes compensation of PDW 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. PDW does not reasonably expect to receive any additional compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement. If additional compensation is received, PDW will disclose this compensation, the services rendered, and the payer of compensation. PDW will offset the compensation against the fees agreed upon under the Agreement. Client Payment of Fees Investment management fees are billed monthly in advance. Fees are usually deducted from a designated Client account to facilitate billing. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account. Fees for financial plans are: Billed 50% in advance with the balance due upon plan delivery. PDW, in its sole discretion, may charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with Clients, etc.). Additional Client Fees Charged Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds, equities, options and exchange-traded funds. These charges may include mutual fund transaction fees, postage and handling and miscellaneous fees. For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure. Prepayment of Client Fees PDW does not require any prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per Client and six months or more in advance. Fees for financial plans are billed 50% in advance with the balance due upon plan delivery. Investment management fees are billed monthly in advance. 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 PDW. Fees for ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) services may be billed in advance. - 6 -  External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients PDW does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to Clients, nor do any of the investment advisor representatives of PDW. 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. PDW does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest. Performance based compensation may create an incentive for PDW to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client. Item 7: Types of Clients Description PDW generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, corporations or business entities. Client relationships vary in scope and length of service. Account Minimums PDW does not require a minimum to open an account. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Security analysis methods include fundamental analysis and tactical asset allocation. 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. Tactical asset allocation is an active investment strategy that adjusts a portfolio's asset class weightings according to short term forecasts of expected returns. The strategy is often considered a moderate active strategy, since managers usually return to the portfolio's original strategic asset mix when desired short-term profits are achieved. Fundamental- valuation signals: Metrics include dividend yield, book/market ratio, and P/E ratio, to determine relative valuation. Another approach is to use the dividend discount model to determine the required rate of return from market prices and projected dividend growth rates. 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 providing written notice to PDW. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar form that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. - 7 -  Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases and option writing and option buying (put options) (including covered options, uncovered options or spreading strategies). Security Specific Material Risks 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 risks and should discuss these risks with PDW: • Market Risk: The prices of securities held by mutual funds 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 in market value. • Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to decline. • Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation. • Currency Risk: 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 exchange rate risk. • Reinvestment 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. • Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not. • Management 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. • Equity Risk: Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. The value of an individual stock, 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 - 8 -  disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies. • Fixed Income Risk: 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 interest rate is the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. • Foreign Securities Risk: Funds in which Clients invest may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities are subject to additional risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. These risks may include, among others, currency risk, country risks (political, diplomatic, regional conflicts, terrorism, war, social and economic instability, currency devaluations and policies that have the effect of limiting or restricting foreign investment or the movement of assets), different trading practices, less government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets and greater volatility. To the extent that underlying funds invest in issuers located in emerging markets, the risk may be heightened by political changes, changes in taxation, or currency controls that could adversely affect the values of these investments. Emerging markets have been more volatile than the markets of developed countries with more mature economies. • Long-term purchases: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with the intension of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of the investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit. In addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income. One of the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations in the financial markets that can cause investments to lose value. • Short-term purchases: Short-term investments are typically held for one year or less. Generally, there is not a high expectation for a return or an increase in value. Typically, short-term investments are purchased for the relatively greater degree of principal protection they are designed to provide. Short-term investment vehicles may be subject to purchasing power risk — the risk that your investment’s return will not keep up with inflation. • Trading risk: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any fund or investment will be achieved. • Options Trading: The risks involved with trading options are that they are very time sensitive investments. An options contract is generally a few months. The buyer of an option could lose his or her entire investment even with a correct prediction about the direction and magnitude of a particular price change if the price change does not occur in the relevant time period (i.e., before the option expires). Additionally, options are less tangible than some other investments. An option is a “book-entry” only investment without a paper certificate of ownership. - 9 -  Item 9: Disciplinary Information Criminal or Civil Actions PDW and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action. Administrative Enforcement Proceedings PDW and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement proceedings. Self- Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings PDW and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events that are material to a Client’s or prospective Client’s evaluation of PDW or the integrity of its management. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration PDW is not registered as a broker-dealer and no affiliated representatives of PDW are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. Futures or Commodity Registration Neither PDW 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. Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest PDW does not have any material relationships or other business activities. Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest PDW does not 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 PDW have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of PDW affiliated persons and addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated persons of PDW. The Code reflects PDW and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of their Client. 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. PDW’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 PDW may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory Clients - 10 -  or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security. PDW’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top priority. PDW’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. PDW will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request. Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of Interest PDW 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 PDW 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 PDW with copies of their brokerage statements. The Chief Compliance Officer of PDW is Bill Dudes. He reviews all trades of the affiliated persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions. Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest PDW does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of interest exist. 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 PDW with copies of their brokerage statements.

The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions. - 11 -  Item 12: Brokerage Practices Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions PDW may recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer such as Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. or may utilize a broker-dealer of the Client's choosing. PDW will select appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. PDW 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 PDW. • Directed Brokerage In circumstances where a Client directs PDW to use a certain broker-dealer, PDW still has a fiduciary duty to its Clients. The following may apply with Directed Brokerage: PDW's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume discounts, there may be a disparity in commission charges among Clients and conflicts of interest arising from brokerage firm referrals. The firm may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions, and this practice may cost clients more money. • Best Execution Investment advisors who manage or supervise Client portfolios have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. 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 effected, 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. The firm does not receive any portion of the trading fees. • Soft Dollar Arrangements PDW does not receive soft dollar benefits. Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts PDW 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 PDW. All Clients participating in the aggregated order shall receive an average share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated basis. 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 the Chief Compliance Officer of PDW. 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, and suitability criteria, - 12 -  reviewing target bans of each asset class to identify if there is an opportunity for rebalancing, and reviewing accounts for tax loss harvesting opportunities. Financial plans generated are updated as requested by the Client and pursuant to a new or amended agreement, PDW suggests updating at least annually. Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis 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. Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency Clients receive written account statements no less than monthly for managed accounts. Account statements are issued by PDW’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month in which a transaction occurs. Performance reports will be provided by PDW at least annually to Clients with assets under management, exclusive of Assets Held Away. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts of Interest PDW does not receive any economic benefits from external sources. Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals PDW does not compensate for Client referrals. 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. PDW is deemed to have custody solely because advisory fees are directly deducted from Client’s accounts by the custodian on behalf of PDW. Item 16: Investment Discretion Discretionary Authority for Trading PDW requires discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of Clients. PDW 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. PDW allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment Policy Statement or similar document. Such restrictions could include only allowing purchases of socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided to PDW in writing. The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian. PDW does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the Client to the custodian. - 13 -  Item 17: Voting Client Securities Proxy Votes PDW 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, PDW will provide recommendations to the Client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the Client. Item 18: Financial Information Balance Sheet A balance sheet is not required to be provided because PDW does not serve as a custodian for Client funds or securities and PDW does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per Client and six months or more in advance. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet Commitments to Clients PDW has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to our Clients. Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years PDW has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years. - 14 -  Item 1 Cover Page S U P E R V I S E D P E R S O N B R O C H U R E F O R M A D V P A R T 2 B William “Bill” Dudes, ChFC® Pleasantdale Wealth Management, LLC Office Address: 7 Stonebriar Lane Hackettstown, NJ 07840 Mailing Address: PO Box 513 Hackettstown, NJ 07840 Tel: 908-914-1572 dudes@pdwmanage.com This brochure supplement provides information about Bill Dudes and supplements the Pleasantdale Wealth Management, LLC brochure.
