Thomas Sutton & Co. DBA. Business operations were conducted under this name until 1995 when Mr. Sutton changed the name of the company to Portfolio Advisory Council. As a DBA, sole proprietor business was transacted until August 1998 when Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. (“PAC, LLC” or “Advisor”) was formed. Our independence allows us to work in the best interests of our clients. We do not have any sales quotas set by the home office. Instead, we focus on what is best for our clients and their financial goals. Our clients receive unbiased recommendations and impartial guidance based directly on their needs and goals. We provide financial planning and investment management services. We also specialize in retirement income planning as well as business retirement plans, such as 401ks, profit sharing plans, and defined benefit plans. People prefer to work with those they know and trust. From our beginning in 1986, client service and objective investment advice has been our focus. While pessimists may prefer bonds, and optimists may prefer stocks, we are realists. Our realistic investment philosophy utilizes a growth and income approach to help people achieve their financial goals consistently in a constantly changing world. Specific investment recommendations will be made to meet the client’s financial objectives. PAC, LLC provides continuous investment management and supervisory services. Accounts are reviewed periodically with respect to asset allocation and investment performance. It is the responsibility of PAC, LLC and its Investment Adviser Representative (“IAR”) to advise clients when circumstances indicate that adjustments be made to the investment allocation. W. Thomas Sutton, CFP, James Hamilton, CFS, AIF, Philip B. Moran, MBA, CFP, ChFC, AIF, and John Husbands will review the accounts. Accounts are reviewed rotationally at least on an annual basis. Depending on the complexity of the account, some accounts may be reviewed more frequently than others. Rates of return will vary. AIF® (Accredited Investment Fiduciary), CFP® (Certified Financial Planner), CFS (Certified Fund Specialist), ChFC (Chartered Financial Consultant), CLU (Chartered Life Underwriter), CRPC (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor). PAC, LLC is authorized by client to gather all tax and financial data related to client, which in the view of Advisor is necessary to provide investment management. Outside advisors, attorneys, accounts, retirement plan administrator(s) or actuaries may be engaged to assist client with necessary services. Clients are billed directly by outside service providers. Portfolios are constructed with mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, bonds, options and REITS selected by the Advisor to meet each client’s investment objectives. Asset allocations are designed to meet each client’s desired investment objectives. Individual stocks, bonds, and options are used with portfolios. When a client has existing stock, bond positions, company stock, and proper diversification can be maintained. 4  We are available on an ongoing basis if a clients circumstances change requiring account adjustments. Portfolios are designed on an individual basis. We use only marketable securities and trades are placed primarily at market price though we may use limit and stop loss orders. As of December 2025, Portfolio Advisory Council has $394,360,064 discretionary assets and $100,580,370 non-discretionary assets under management. Fees and Compensation Typically, the fee for this service is one point two percent (1.2%) (for accounts over 1 million dollars the fee may be negotiated) per year based on the invested assets under management. The fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and valued at the end of each quarter. (The 1.2% management fee charged by Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. is in addition to any mutual fund fee charged by a mutual fund manager.) The initial fee is paid for portfolio analysis and consulting with the client. Consulting services are also available for $250.00 hourly with a $500.00 minimum or on a fixed fee basis. General Information: Agreement in writing though it may be modified by verbal agreement with client. Negotiability of Advisory Fees and Minimum Requirements: In certain circumstances, account minimums and advisory fees may be negotiable. Management fees for pension plans are individually negotiated. Investment policy is contained in the advisory agreement. Fee Calculation: PAC, LLC does not charge a performance fee. The fee charged is calculated as described above and is not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains upon or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds of an advisory client (Section 205(a)(1) of the Advisers Act). If the custodian charges transaction costs they are paid directly by the client to the custodian. Termination of Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of written notice. The client has the right to terminate an agreement without penalty within five business days after entering into the agreement. Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to PAC, LLC for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of PAC, LLC. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by PAC, LLC which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. The specific manner in which fees are charged by Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. is established in a client’s written agreement with Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C.

Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. fees are exclusive of custodian commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.

The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.

Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. clients. As an investment advisory firm, PAC, LLC has a fiduciary duty to its clients. They deserve its loyalty and effort, and their interests come first. PAC, LLC has an obligation to uphold that fiduciary duty and see that its personnel do not take inappropriate advantage of their positions and the access to information that comes with their positions.

It is Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities transactions for client accounts. Portfolio Advisory Council, L.L.C. will also not cross trades between client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is crossed between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction 8  is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer. Brokerage Practices Custodian Selection/Best Execution PAC, LLC annually, will evaluate the quality of brokerage services provided by broker- dealers executing its transactions. PAC, LLC has a fiduciary duty to its clients to achieve best execution when it places trades with custodians. PAC, LLC currently utilizes Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. for most investment accounts however, in some special situations where clients are best served by direct mutual fund accounts PAC, LLC has chosen American Funds. PAC, LLC policies are modeled after the guidelines articulated by the regulators; specifically, it believes that, to a significant degree, best execution is a qualitative concept. In deciding what constitutes best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible commission cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution. In making this determination, PAC, LLC's policy is to consider the full range of the brokerage services, including without limitation the value of research provided, execution capabilities, commission rate, financial responsibility, administrative resources and responsiveness. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits The SEC has defined “soft dollar” practices as arrangements under which products or services, other than execution of securities transactions, are obtained by an investment adviser from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for the direction by the adviser of client brokerage transactions to the broker-dealer. In the event of soft dollar arrangements, PAC, LLC has an obligation to act in the best interests of its clients and to place client interests before its own. PAC, LLC also has an affirmative duty of full and fair disclosure of material facts in relation to soft dollar arrangements to its clients. The SEC, through its interpretive release of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 effective July 24, 2006, defined acceptable brokerage and research services that fall under the safe harbor of Section 28(e). An adviser who determines in good faith that the brokerage and research services received in exchange for sending transaction business to a broker-dealer are reasonable compared to the commissions paid by the clients will not have breached its fiduciary duty. Review of Accounts Accounts are reviewed rotationally at least on an annual basis. Depending on the complexity of the account, some accounts may be reviewed more frequently than others, rates of return will vary. It is the responsibility of the advisor to advise client when circumstances indicate that adjustments to the investment allocation may be appropriate. Our team of portfolio managers; W. Thomas Sutton, James Hamilton, Philip Moran, or John Husbands will review these accounts. All advisory accounts are formally reviewed on at least an annual basis. Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes 9  in client’s financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move, or inheritance). Clients will receive trade confirmations from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc, each time the advisor, buys or sells investments for clients account. Monthly statement will also be provided by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc . American Funds will send their confirm transaction and account balances on a quarterly basis.

It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 62,000 individuals have obtained CFP® certification in the United States. To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements: • Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning; • Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination, administered in 10 hours over a two-day period, includes case studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances; • Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and • Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals. Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks: • Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and • Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct.
