Services include but are not limited to a thorough review of all applicable topics including Wills, Estate Plan/Trusts, Investments, Taxes, and Insurance. A conflict of interest exists between the interests of the investment advisor and the interests of the client. The client is under no obligation to act upon the investment advisor’s recommendation. If the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through Safe Harbor. Financial plans will be completed and delivered inside of thirty (30) days. REFERRAL ARRANGEMENTS Safe Harbor has legacy clients where Safe Harbor acted as a referring party for Gradient Investments, LLC. Any new clients placed with Gradient Investments, LLC will be through the Co-Advisor relationship described above. 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 Safe Harbor does not participate in wrap fee programs. Client Assets under Management Safe Harbor has the following assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: $161,077,849 $6,122,878 Date Calculated: April 8, 2026 - 5 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Item 5: Fees and Compensation Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule CO-ADVISOR Safe Harbor has entered into a Referral Agreement with Gradient Investments, LLC (“GI”). GI is a Registered Investment Advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides investment portfolio advice and supervisory services. GI offers an actively managed program of mutual fund and stock portfolios. The fee will be disclosed to the Client in the Investment Advisory Agreement and are negotiable. The Clients fee for these services will be based on a percentage of assets under management as follows: Portfolio GI Fee* Asset Valuation Stated Total Annual Fee Safe Harbor Fee (Negotiable) Custom Indexing - Strategic All Assets 1.75% 0.75% 1.00% Strategic All Assets 1.60% 0.60% 1.00% Custom Indexing - Allocation All Assets 1.75% 0.75% 1.00% Allocation All Assets 1.60% 0.60% 1.00% Tactical All Assets 1.60% 0.60% 1.00% Defined Outcome All Assets 1.60% 0.60% 1.00% Private Wealth All Assets 1.50% 0.50% 1.00% Preservation All Assets 1.00% 0.40% 0.60% Client Directed Accounts All Assets $300 $300 $0 For Client Directed Accounts (CDA), GI will assist in the opening, closing and transferring of accounts. GI will not have discretion at any time on these accounts. Client is solely responsible for the assets held within the accounts and their values which could increase or decrease (potential loss of principal). GI will not execute trades in CDA accounts. GI exceptions will be made for withdrawals to client or assets transferred into a GI managed portfolio. GI will also provide performance reporting on these accounts and can furnish 3rd party analysis reports per the client’s request. Similar services may be available through other sources for a lower fee. These are flat fee schedules, the entire portfolio is charged the same asset management fee. Example: Portfolio Calculation Quarterly Fee ($750,000*1.75%) * (91/365) $3,272.26 ($750,000*1.60%) * (91/365) $2,991.78 Custom Indexing – Strategic & Allocation: Strategic Portfolio, Tactical Portfolio, Allocation & Defined Outcome Portfolio: Private Wealth Portfolio: ($750,000*1.50%) * (91/365) $2,804.79 Preservation Portfolio: ($750,000*1.00%) * (91/365) $1,869.86 - 6 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Fee Calculation: (Quarter End Value x Annual Fee %) x (Days in Quarter/Days in Year) + $15 Quarterly Service Fee* * The $15 Quarterly Service Fee is the technology fee charged per account or investment strategy for performance and other reporting. This fee is disclosed in our ADV Part 2A (Item 5: Fees and Compensation) and in our Investment Proposal and Contract (Schedule D: Schedule of Fees). The above fees are negotiable. Fees are assessed quarterly in arrears based on the amount of the assets managed as of the end of the previous quarter and will take into account additions and withdrawals in the time period. All management fees are withdrawn from the Client’s account unless otherwise noted. GI will receive written authorization from the Client to deduct advisory fees from their account held by a qualified custodian. GI will pay Safe Harbor their share of the fees. Safe Harbor does not have access to deduct Client fees. Clients may terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the investment advisory agreement without penalty or obligation. For terminations after the initial five business days, GI will be entitled to a pro-rata fee for the days service was provided in the final quarter. GI will pay Safe Harbor their portion of the final fee. Incentive Program - GI In addition to the regular advisory fee, GI has instituted a long-term incentive arrangement where Safe Harbor can share in GI’s portion of the management fee. This does not change the cost to the Client; it is a sharing arrangement paid from GI’s portion of the advisory fee. The incentive arrangement will be paid annually according to the following table: Safe Harbor Quarterly AUM with GI $10,000,000 $25,000,000 $50,000,000 $75,000,000 Participation rate in GI’s fee 3.00% 10.00% 12.50% 15.00% Once Safe Harbor reaches and maintains the thresholds listed above, the participation rate applies to all of the AUM for the quarter. To receive the incentive award, Safe Harbor needs to meet two qualifications. First, the quarter end billable AUM must be above the threshold amounts specified. Second, Safe Harbor must be an advisor “in good standing” with GI at the time the annual checks are issued. “In good standing” means the advisor is proactively placing assets with GI. This relationship will be disclosed to the client in each contract between Safe Harbor and Third Party Money Manager. Safe Harbor does not charge additional management fees for Third Party managed account services. Client's signature is required to confirm consent for services within Third Party Investment Agreement. Client will initial Safe Harbor Investment Advisory Agreement to acknowledge receipt of Third Party fee Schedule and required documents including Form ADV Part 2 disclosures. FINANCIAL PLANNING and CONSULTING Services include but are not limited to a thorough review of all applicable topics including Wills, Estate Plan/Trusts, Investments, Taxes, and Insurance. The payment is due upon - 7 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC commencement of the Advisory Agreement. Safe Harbor reserves the right to waive the fee should the Client implement the plan through Safe Harbor. All plans are completed and delivered inside of ninety (90) days. Client may cancel within five (5) business days for a full refund. If client cancels after five (5) business days, client will be due a pro-rata refund or RFP will be entitled to a pro-rata fee for work completed whichever is applicable. If a refund is due to the client, it will be based on a rate of $250 per hour for the amount of time spent completing the plan. FIXED FEES Financial Planning Services are offered based on a negotiable fixed fee with a maximum of $2,500 based on complexity and unique client needs. Prior to the planning process the client is provided a plan fee and approximation of time for completed services. Client Payment of Fees Co-Advisor fees are billed quarterly in arrears and deducted from client accounts. Fees for financial plans are billed 50% in advance with the balance due upon delivery of the plan. Additional Client Fees Charged When utilizing Third Party Money Managers, the custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. The selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the custodian charges to buy or sell the security. Safe Harbor, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum fee and/or 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.). Prepayment of Client Fees Financial planning fees will be due, in full, at the commencement of the contract. Client may cancel within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory Agreement for a full refund. If client cancels after five (5) business days, client will be due a pro-rata refund or RFP will be entitled to a pro-rata fee for work completed whichever is applicable. External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients Safe Harbor does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to clients, nor do any of the investment advisor representatives of Safe Harbor. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees Sharing of Capital Gains Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities. - 8 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Safe Harbor does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest. Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the client. Item 7: Types of Clients Description Safe Harbor generally provides investment advice to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, corporations or business entities. Client relationships vary in scope and length of service. Account Minimums While Safe Harbor does not require a minimum to open an account, specific money managers may have a minimum to open an account. Minimum requirements by third party money managers will be disclosed in each money manager’s brochure. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis If evaluating securities is part of the agreed upon financial planning Safe Harbor may use fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. Each client executes an Investment Policy Statement or Risk Tolerance that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, and option writing (including covered options, uncovered options or spreading strategies). Security Specific Material Risks All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. The specific risks associated with financial planning include: • Risk of Loss o Client fails to follow the recommendations of SWA resulting in market loss o Client has changes in financial status or lifestyle and therefore plan recommendations are no longer valid The risks associated with utilizing Third Party Money Managers (“TPM”) include: • Manager Risk - 9 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC o the TPM fails to execute the stated investment strategy • Business Risk o TPM has financial or regulatory problems • The specific risks associated with the portfolios of the TPM’s which is disclosed in the TPM’s Form ADV Part 2. Item 9: Disciplinary Information Criminal or Civil Actions The firm and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action required to be reported. Administrative Enforcement Proceedings The firm and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement proceedings required to be reported. Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings The firm and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events related to past or present investment clients. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration Safe Harbor and no affiliated representatives of Safe Harbor are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. Futures or Commodity Registration Neither Safe Harbor nor its employees are registered or has 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 Managing Member Cory Sickles has a financial affiliated business as an insurance agent and as the President of another insurance company. From time to time, he will offer clients advice or products from those activities. Approximately 50% of Mr. Sickles’ time is spent on his insurance practice. Cory Sickles has an additional financial affiliated business as President and owner of Safe Harbor Health, LLC, where he has agents that provide Medicare supplements. Mr. Sickles spends around 1% of his time on his Medicare practice. Cory Sickles is also an investment advisor representative with Prosperity Asset Management, LLC. This is for succession planning purposes and he is not actively providing advisory services to Clients of this firm at this time. These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives them an incentive to recommend products based on the commission or fee amount received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place the best - 10 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC interest of the client first and clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products and/or through another insurance agent or investment advisor of their choosing. Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest Safe Harbor at times utilizes the services of Third Party Money Managers to manage client accounts. In such circumstances, Safe Harbor will share in the fees from the Third Party Manager. This situation creates a conflict of interest. However, when referring clients to a third party money manager, the client’s best interest will be the main determining factor of Safe Harbor. These fees do not include brokerage fees that may be assessed by the custodial broker dealer. For more details see Items 4 and 5 of this brochure. One of the TPM’s to whom we refer clients is Gradient Investments, LLC (“Gradient”), an SEC-registered investment adviser. Meraki Private Equity, LLC (“MPE”) is a minority owner in Gradient. MPE shares common ownership with its wholly-owned subsidiary Meraki Partner Holdings, LLC (“MPH”). Our parent company, Safe Harbor Intermediate, LLC is 30% owned by MPH. Cory Sickles owns a minority stake (under 2%) in an affiliate of MPH called Meraki Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“MIH”). MIH is sole owner of MPE. These practices and relationships represent conflicts of interest because Safe Harbor is paid a Referral Fee for recommending the TPM and may choose to recommend a particular TPM based on the fee Safe Harbor is to receive. With respect to referrals of clients to Gradient, Safe Harbor has a conflict to the extent its owners (including Mr. Sickles) benefit by any increase in value MPE as a result of MPE’s minority ownership in Gradient. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Safe Harbor and its investment advisory representatives have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of his Clients. Clients are not required to accept any recommendation of TPM given by Safe Harbor and have the option to received investment advice through other money managers of their choosing. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics Description The employees of Safe Harbor have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of Safe Harbor employees and addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for employees of Safe Harbor. The Code reflects Safe Harbor and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of their client. One area in which the Code addresses is when employees buy or sell securities for their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our clients. We do not allow any employees 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. - 11 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Safe Harbor’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non- public or inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or director of Safe Harbor may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory clients or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security. Safe Harbor’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the client are our top priority. Safe Harbor’s officers, directors, advisors, and other employees have a fiduciary duty to our clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and confidence of our clients. When the potential for conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the client’s interests over the interests of either employees or the company. The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are employees 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. The firm 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 Safe Harbor and its employees 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 Safe Harbor and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients. In order to avoid conflicts of interest such as front running, employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide Safe Harbor with copies of their brokerage statements. The Chief Compliance Officer of Safe Harbor is Holly Veeck. She reviews all employee trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews helps mitigate that the personal trading of employees does not affect the markets and that clients of the firm have received preferential treatment over employee trades. Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest Safe Harbor 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. - 12 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Item 12: Brokerage Practices Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions Safe Harbor may recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer or may utilize a broker-dealer of the client's choosing. Safe Harbor will select appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. Safe Harbor 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 Safe Harbor. • Directed Brokerage Safe Harbor utilizes Third Party Money Managers and therefore it does not take direction from clients as to what broker-dealer to use. • Best Execution Investment advisors who manage or supervise client portfolios have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. Safe Harbor does not manage client accounts. Safe Harbor only has the ability to select between different model portfolios managed by a third party money manager. • Soft Dollar Arrangements The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are obtained by Safe Harbor from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing Client transactions to the broker-dealer. Safe Harbor may receive products, research and/or other services from custodians or broker-dealers connected to client transactions or “soft dollar benefits”. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Safe Harbor receives economic benefits as a result of commissions generated from securities transactions by the custodian or broker- dealer from the accounts of Safe Harbor. Safe Harbor cannot ensure that a particular client will benefit from soft dollars or the client’s transactions paid for the soft dollar benefits. Safe Harbor does not seek to proportionately allocate benefits to client accounts to any soft dollar benefits generated by the accounts. A conflict of interest exists when Safe Harbor receives soft dollars which could result in higher commissions charged to Clients. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Safe Harbor has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of its Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients. Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts Safe Harbor does not trade for its or its clients’ accounts and therefore aggregation of securities transactions is not applicable. 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 Cory Sickles, Managing Member and Investment Advisor Representative. Account reviews are performed more frequently - 13 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC when market conditions dictate. Financial Plans are considered complete when recommendations are delivered to the client and an additional review is done only upon request of client. 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 account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts. Account statements are issued by the Third Party Money Manager’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month in which a transaction occurs. Under financial planning services, the client will receive a one-time written financial plan. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts of Interest Financial consultants may be eligible for cash and non-cash compensation including bonuses, recognition trips and other benefits. Some of these programs may be financed in whole or in part by unaffiliated third parties, including third party money managers, which may influence some representatives to favor those managers. See the prior sections entitled “Fees and Compensation” and “Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations” for more details regarding compensation and conflicts of interests. Safe Harbor’s investment advisor representatives may receive certain benefits from Gradient Investments, LLC (and/or its affiliated companies) based on achieving certain production thresholds. These thresholds are not based on the sale of any specific product or specific product type. These incentives include marketing assistance, access to technology, office support, and business trainings and trips. While some of these benefit the client, such as technology and training, some do not. This creates a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to the representative to meet this threshold. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first and the Clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent of their choosing. Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals Safe Harbor 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. Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to the performance report statements prepared by the Third Party Money Managers. - 14 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Item 16: Investment Discretion Discretionary Authority for Trading Safe Harbor has discretion to select appropriate portfolios for clients, but does not have the discretion to select specific securities. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Proxy Votes Safe Harbor 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. Item 18: Financial Information Balance Sheet A balance sheet is not required to be provided because Safe Harbor does not serve as a custodian for client funds or securities and Safe Harbor does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1200 per client and six months or more in advance. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet Commitments to Clients Safe Harbor 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 Neither Safe Harbor nor its management has had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years. - 15 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC Supervised Person Brochure Part 2B of Form ADV Cory Sickles, CFF® Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC 6099 Frantz Road Dublin, OH 43017 PHONE: 614-760-0670 FAX: 614-760-0675 EMAIL: Cory@safeharborOH.com Branch Office 4449 Easton Way Columbus, OH 43219 This brochure supplement provides information about Cory Sickles and supplements the Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC brochure.

From time to time, he will offer clients advice or products from those activities. More than 50% of his revenue results from commissions from the sale of insurance products. As an insurance agent, he may receive separate yet typical compensation in the form of commissions for the sale of insurance products. Cory Sickles has an additional financial affiliated business as President and owner of Safe Harbor Health, LLC, where he has agents that provide Medicare supplements. Mr. Sickles spends around 1% of his time on his Medicare practice. Cory Sickles is also an investment advisor representative with Prosperity Asset Management, LLC. This is for succession planning purposes and he is not actively providing advisory services to Clients of this firm at this time. These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives them an incentive to recommend products based on the commission or fee amount received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the client first and clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products and/or through another insurance agent or investment advisor of their choosing. Additional Compensation Cory Sickles receives commissions as an insurance agent but he does not receive any performance-based fees. Mr. Sickles may receive certain benefits from Gradient Investments, LLC (and/or its affiliated companies) based on achieving certain production thresholds. These thresholds are not based on the sale of any specific product or specific product type. These incentives include marketing assistance, access to technology, office support, and business trainings and trips. While some of these benefit the client, such as technology and training, some do not. This creates a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to the representative to meet this threshold. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first. Clients are not required to use Gradient Investments, LLC or any of its affiliated companies. One of the TPM’s to whom we refer clients is Gradient Investments, LLC (“Gradient”), an SEC-registered investment adviser. Meraki Private Equity, LLC (“MPE”) is a minority owner (less than 2%) in Gradient. MPE shares common ownership with its wholly-owned subsidiary Meraki Partner Holdings, LLC (“MPH”). Our parent company, Safe Harbor Intermediate, LLC is 30% owned by MPH. Cory Sickles owns a minority stake (under 2%) in an affiliate of MPH called Meraki Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“MIH”). MIH is sole owner of MPE. These practices and relationships represent conflicts of interest because Safe Harbor is paid a Referral Fee for recommending the TPM and may choose to recommend a particular TPM based on the fee Safe Harbor is to receive. With respect to referrals of clients to Gradient, Safe Harbor has a conflict to the extent its owners (including Mr. Sickles) benefit by any increase in value MPE as a result of MPE’s minority ownership in Gradient. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Safe Harbor and its investment - 18 - Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors, LLC advisory representatives have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of his Clients. Clients are not required to accept any recommendation of TPM given by Safe Harbor and have the option to received investment advice through other money managers of their choosing.
