Tucker ........................................................................................................ 1 TOC 3 True Measure Wealth Management Advisory Business Firm Description TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT, (formerly Meridian Management) was founded in 1998. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT provides personalized confidential financial planning and investment management to individuals, trusts, estates, and small businesses. Advice is provided through consultation with the client and may include: determination of financial objectives, identification of financial problems, cash flow management, tax planning, insurance review, investment management, education funding, retirement planning, and estate planning. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT is a fee-only financial planning and investment management firm. The firm is not affiliated with entities that sell financial products, securities or insurance products. Investment advice is an integral part of financial planning. In addition, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT advises clients regarding cash flow, college planning, retirement planning, tax planning and estate planning. Investment advice is provided, with the client making the final decision on investment selection. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not act as a custodian of client assets. The client always maintains asset control. Unless such authority is withheld by client, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT will supervise and direct the investments of the account subject to such limitations as client may impose by notice in writing. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT, as agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to the Account, may direct custodian to buy, sell, exchange, convert, and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds, index futures and index options, and other securities (including money market, limited partnerships, mutual funds and listed stock options). TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT will supervise and direct the investments of the account held at custodian on a discretionary basis, unless client specifically requests otherwise. An overview of each client's initial situation is provided to the client, often in the form of a net worth statement. Periodic reviews are also communicated to provide reminders of the specific courses of action that need to be taken. Additional reviews may occur but are not necessarily communicated to the client unless immediate changes are recommended. Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) are engaged directly by the client on an as-needed basis. Conflicts of interest will be disclosed to the client in the unlikely event they should occur. True Measure Wealth Management The initial meeting, which may be by telephone, is free of charge and is considered an exploratory interview to determine the extent to which financial planning and investment management may be beneficial to the client. Principal Owners Patrick Tucker is a 100% stockholder. Types of Advisory Services TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT provides asset management services and furnishes investment advice through consultations. Client establishes an investment advisory account(s) and appoints TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT as the advisor to supervise and develop an asset allocation strategy using an appointed custodian to implement said strategy in accordance with the client’s stated objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance and financial goals. At a minimum, client will receive a quarterly account statement from the custodian showing the account activity as well as the positions held in the account at quarter end. The client may also receive quarterly a written statement of investments of the account from the custodian showing portfolio values including performance results for the quarter. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT uses the custodial services of SEI, Charles Schwab & Co., and Betterment Institutional. SEI is a global provider of asset management, investment processing, and investment operations solutions for personal wealth management. SEI provides investment advisors with comprehensive wealth management services through outsourced investment management, back office, and administrative functions. Charles Schwab & Co. is a provider of brokerage and custody services to investment advisors and their clients. Betterment Institutional is a provider of brokerage and custody services to investment advisors and their clients. Given that each client’s situation is unique, a determination of which custodian to appoint is determined after an evaluation of all relevant facts and circumstances. On more than an occasional basis, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT furnishes advice to clients on matters not involving securities, such as financial planning matters, taxation issues, and trust services that often include estate planning. Assets Under Management As of December 2024, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT manages approximately $ 219,756,637.00 assets for approximately 359 clients. Approximately $ 219,756,637.00 is managed on a discretionary basis, and $0.00 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. True Measure Wealth Management Tailored Relationships The goals and objectives for each client are documented in our client relationship management system.

Financial Planning Fees Client shall pay TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT for its services, as set forth in the Advisory Agreement, an annual planning fee due upon receipt of invoice from Meridian. This fee entitles the client to participate in TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT’s financial planning process. Fees charged may be negotiated. Such fees may differ based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the number and range of supplemental advisory and client-related services to be provided by TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT to the client. Investment Management Agreement Investment Management Services Client hereby establishes an investment advisory account(s) and appoints TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT as the advisor to supervise and develop an asset allocation strategy using an appointed custodian to implement said strategy in accordance with the client’s stated objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance and financial goals. At a minimum, client will receive a quarterly account statement from the custodian showing the account activity as well as the positions held in the account at quarter end. The client may also receive quarterly a written statement of investments of the account from the custodian showing portfolio values including performance results for the quarter. True Measure Wealth Management Investment Management Fees and Expenses Client shall pay TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT for its services, as set forth in the Investment Management Agreement, an annual portfolio management fee (see “Annual Fee Schedule” below) to be paid quarterly in arrears (on a calendar quarter basis) as a percent of the portfolio’s market value. The portfolio’s market value will be based on the closing value as of the final business day of each calendar quarter. Certain customary costs or charges are assessed to the client by the custodian. These costs are payable by the client and are not included, or a part of, the management fee. Payment of fees will be made through a quarterly debit to client’s account. However, management fees may be billed directly to the client if so requested in writing by the client. Client authorizes custodian to deduct for TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT any and all fees, when due, from the assets contained in the account. Additional assets received into the account during any fee period may be charged a pro-rated management fee based on the number of days remaining in the fee period as against the total number of days in the fee period. In the event the Investment Management Agreement is terminated by either party prior to the end of the fee period, a pro-rata billing of the management fee will be made. The management fee and/or fee schedule may be modified by TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT upon notice to client. Fees charged may be negotiated. Such fees may differ based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of account, the size of the account, and the number and range of supplemental advisory and client-related services to be provided by TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT to the client. All accounts owned by the client and managed by TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT will be aggregated to determine a discount, if any, to be applied to the management fee as outlined in the Fee Schedule below: TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT. Annual Fee Schedule Account Asset Value Annual Management Fee All Assets Managed 1.00% Hourly Planning Engagements TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT provides hourly planning services for clients who need advice on a limited scope of work. The hourly rate for limited scope engagements is $300. Asset Management Assets are invested primarily with third party money management firms, no- load or low-load mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, usually through True Measure Wealth Management custodians, discount brokers or fund companies. Custodians and fund companies charge each fund shareholder an investment management fee that is disclosed in the fund prospectus. Discount brokerages may charge a transaction fee for the purchase of some funds. Stocks and bonds may be purchased or sold through a brokerage account when appropriate. The brokerage firm charges a fee for stock and bond trades. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not receive any compensation, in any form, from fund companies. Investments may also include: equities (stocks), warrants, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities (variable life insurance, variable annuities, and mutual funds shares), U. S. government securities, options contracts, futures contracts, and interests in partnerships. Initial public offerings (IPOs) are not available through TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT. Unified Managed Account Program We offer discretionary investment management services in a managed account program through an Overlay Manager (the “UMA Program”). This UMA Program may consist of using model portfolio advisers, model portfolios or other investment options such as mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to represent different investment strategies for managing your account. Each of these investment strategies is designed to meet a specific goal. Prior to investing in the UMA Program, you will execute a discretionary investment management agreement with us setting forth the terms and conditions of our management of your investments within the UMA Program. Depending on the management services the client selects, the client will grant us limited discretionary authority to manage the client account through selection of an overlay manager (“Overlay Manager”), third party strategist (“Strategist”) and/or third party managers (“Managers”; collectively, “Third- Party Service Providers”). In addition, the client will authorize the custodian to follow our instructions as well as instructions given by Overlay Manager to effect transactions, deliver securities, deduct fees and take other actions with respect to the client account. The client will not have a direct contractual relationship with the Overlay Manager or any other Third-Party Service Provider. The timing of trades in the client account will primarily depend upon the model or changes in the model and, generally, will not take into consideration how long a client may have held the position indicated by the model. We will retain the right to replace any Strategist or Manager on a discretionary basis. Depending on the service a client has selected, we will separately provide the client with the firm brochure (Part 2 of Form ADV) for the True Measure Wealth Management applicable Third-Party Service Provider(s) which includes information about their services, model portfolios, and investment strategies at or before the execution of our discretionary investment management agreement. Tax Overlay Manager Services Tax overlay management services are available as an option for accounts utilizing the UMA Program through the Overlay Manager. If you elect tax overlay management services, the portion of your fee paid as the management fee on your account will increase. The Overlay Manager will develop a tax strategy for your account based on the information and instructions provided by us on your behalf. Tax overlay management services in an investment account offer benefits and limitations, as described below. The tax strategy developed for you by the Overlay Manager is provided solely in connection with your account and the Overlay Manager does not provide general tax planning services. If you do elect the tax overlay management services option, please consider the following: • The Tax Overlay Manager will implement tax overlay management services based on the information and instructions provided for your account(s). • The Tax Overlay Manager does not provide general tax advice, tax return preparation or tax planning services. The Tax Overlay Manager will seek to reduce the overall tax burden of the account while seeking to maintain the risk and return characteristics of the model portfolios received from Strategists and/or Managers. • When providing tax overlay management services to the account, short-term gains are avoided where possible, but long-term gains are not limited unless you have requested a mandate to limit realized long-term gains. The Overlay Manager will provide tax overlay management services with the assumption that the Overlay Manager will continue to provide services to the account for an entire tax year. The termination or removal of the overlay management services before the completion of an entire tax year may result in adverse tax consequences, including without limitation realization of short- term capital gains. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly recommend that you continuously consult with a tax professional prior to and throughout the investing of your assets. The Tax Overlay Management Services are offered at an additional cost to you. Termination of Agreement A Client may terminate any of the aforementioned agreements at any time by notifying TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT in writing and paying True Measure Wealth Management the rate for the time spent on the investment advisory engagement prior to notification of termination. If the client made an advance payment, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT will refund any unearned portion of the advance payment. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT may terminate any of the aforementioned agreements at any time by notifying the client in writing. If the client made an advance payment, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT will refund any unearned portion of the advance payment. True Measure Wealth Management Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must: • Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); • Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); • Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; • Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; • Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and • Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. Fees and Compensation Description TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT bases its fees on a percentage of assets under management, subscription fees, hourly charges, and fixed fees. Advisory Agreements and Investment Management Agreements may be priced based on the complexity of work, especially when asset management is not the most significant part of the relationship. Fees are negotiable. Fee Billing Investment management fees are billed quarterly, in arrears, meaning that we invoice you after the three-month billing period has ended. Payment in full is expected upon invoice presentation. 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. Investment management fees may be billed directly to the client if so requested in writing by the client. Financial planning fees are billed annually or quarterly dependent upon client’s preference. True Measure Wealth Management Other Fees Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain securities. 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. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT, in its sole discretion, may waive its financial planning 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.). Expense Ratios Mutual funds generally charge a management fee for their services as investment managers. The management fee is called an expense ratio. For example, an expense ratio of 0.50 means that the mutual fund company charges 0.5% for their services. These fees are in addition to the fees paid by you to TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT. Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications are after their fees have been deducted. Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT reserves the right to stop work on any account that is more than 90 days overdue. In addition, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT reserves the right to terminate any financial planning engagement where a client has willfully concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information about financial situations when necessary and appropriate, in TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT’s judgment, to providing proper financial advice. Any unused portion of fees collected in advance will be refunded within 30 days. Performance-Based Fees Sharing of Capital Gains Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not use a performance- based fee structure because of the potential 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. True Measure Wealth Management Types of Clients Description TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT 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 TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT has no account minimums. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Security analysis methods may include charting, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical analysis. The main sources of information include the World Wide Web, financial newspapers and magazines, inspections of corporate activities, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, timing services, annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and company press releases. Investment Strategies The primary investment strategy used on client accounts is strategic asset allocation focused on the goals and objectives of the client. Portfolios are globally diversified to control the risk associated with traditional markets. 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. Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, short sales, margin transactions, and option writing. Risk of Loss 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: • 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. • Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of True Measure Wealth Management risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events. • Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as 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. • Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like. • 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. • Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value. Disciplinary Information Legal and Disciplinary The firm and its employees have been involved in legal or disciplinary events related to past or present investment clients.

True Measure Wealth Management Brokerage Practices Selecting Brokerage Firms TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not have any affiliation with product sales firms. Specific custodian recommendations are made to Clients based on their need for such services. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT recommends custodians based on the proven integrity and financial responsibility of the firm and the best execution of orders at reasonable commission rates. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT currently custody’s client accounts with SEI Private Trust Company, Charles Schwab & Co., and Betterment. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not receive transaction fees or commissions from any of these arrangements. Best Execution TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT reviews the execution of trades at each custodian and also the trading fees charged by each custodian. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not receive any portion of the trading fees. Soft Dollars Due to TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT’s affiliations with custodians such as SEI Private Trust Company, Charles Schwab & Co., and Betterment, TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT may receive discounts on software purchases or other business services. All clients benefit from this discount as it reduces the firm’s overall expenses. The selection of SEI Private Trust Company, Charles Schwab & Co., or Betterment as a custodian for clients is not affected by these nominal discounts. Order Aggregation Most trades are through third party money managers, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds where trade aggregation does not garner any client benefit. Review of Accounts Periodic Reviews Patrick Tucker is the primary reviewer of client accounts. At his discretion, he may delegate review of a client’s account to another qualified member of TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT as seen appropriate.

The client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian. TRUE MEASURE WEALTH MANAGEMENT does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the client to the custodian on certain trades. Discretionary trading authority facilitates placing trades in the client’s accounts on the client’s behalf so that we may promptly implement the client’s expressed goals.
