Summa Corp.: investment adviser

Summa provides its clients with discretionary and non-discretionary account services tailored to each client’s needs. Summa offers its investment services on a non-wrap fee basis. For nondiscretionary accounts, Summa makes written or oral investment recommendations to the client or the client’s designee. Client and/or client’s designee is under no obligation to act upon Summa’s recommendations. The Client may also direct Summa to make specific investments in the client’s account. Notwithstanding the Summa’s policy on fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities, transactions effected on behalf of a client for whom Summa has discretionary trading authority may be effected prior to the time that recommendations for transactions in the same securities may be communicated to clients with non-discretionary accounts and at different prices. Any client may impose restrictions on his or her account, but any such restrictions must be provided in writing. Summa provides Portfolio Consulting Services on a non-discretionary basis as a financial consultant, offering general investment advice and regular supervisory and management services regarding those Assets designated by Client. To the extent mutual funds are selected to fill components of the overall investment strategy, the annual advisory fee set forth above does not include the customary fees and expenses associated with investing in mutual funds or other costs of establishing and maintaining an account with mutual funds, including Rule 12b-1 fees and expenses. Client is advised that, in addition to the annual advisory fee set forth above, each mutual fund in which assets are invested will incur separate investment advisory fees and other expenses for which the client will bear a proportionate share.

The relationship between the parties may be terminated by either party upon 30 days’ written notice. Notwithstanding the above, if the appropriate disclosure statement was not delivered to the client at least 48 hours prior to client entering into any written or oral advisory contract with this investment adviser, then client has the right to terminate the relationship, contract without penalty, within five business days after entering into the contract. In the event of termination, the advisory fee due to the Adviser for the termination period shall be prorated and shall be based on the latest valuation of the assets as of the date notice was received; and will be refunded within two weeks of termination. The Firm has entered into a Non-Discretionary agreement with Summa Asset Management Inc., a Panamanian registered investment advisor, wherein The Firm will act as sub-advisor for certain of the Summa Asset Management Inc clients.

C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions Summa obtains financial and other information from each client, enabling it to tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of each client. Clients may impose restrictions as to the types of securities utilized in their accounts by providing such restrictions to Summa in writing.

D. Wrap Fee Programs Summa does not sponsor or manage a wrap fee program.

E. Amounts of Assets under Management Summa manages client assets on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. As of August 31, 2026, the Firm had approximately $1,586,540,509 in total assets under management, of which approximately $1,402,054,145 was managed on a discretionary basis, and approximately $184,486,364 was managed on a non-discretionary basis.

Fees can are either calculated by multiplying the assets by the relevant percentage and dividing such product by four, or calculated daily as the annualized percentage agreed multiplied by the net liquidation value of the account(NLV/Equity Annualized percentage agreed/ 252 trading days of the year), depending upon the terms set forth in your advisory agreement The advisory fee includes payment for: (i) investment advisory services provided by Summa pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) administrative services such as computing, billing and collection of account fees, including the advisory fee for services provided under this Agreement, (iii) administrative services to include, but not limited to, the processing of deposits and withdrawals from the Account pursuant to the Client’s instruction; and (iv) the issuance of monthly and/or quarterly account statements. Portfolio Consulting Fees The portfolio consulting fees payable to Summa are on a fixed-fee basis, payable quarterly in arrears as specified in the agreement between the two parties. Summa stipulates a minimum dollar value of assets under management of $500,000 to provide proper diversification to its customers. Advisory Fees may be negotiated for accounts over $2,000,000.

B. Payment of Fees The fees are payable quarterly in advance or arrears as agreed to with client and memorialized in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Fees are invoiced and, at the client's direction, may be deducted from client's account(s) quarterly within 30 days following the expiration of the quarter for which said fees will be incurred. In the event the agreement is terminated prior to the end of the quarter, the advisory fee shall be prorated and refunded proportionately within two weeks of termination. The Firm has also entered into a fixed fee consulting arrangement. Fees are invoiced quarterly in advance, and Client remits payment to the company. In the event the agreement is terminated prior to the end of the quarter, the advisory fee shall be prorated and refunded proportionately within two weeks of termination.

C. Other Fees The Advisory fee does not include: (i) brokerage commissions on all agency transactions for the Client Account, except for those transactions ordered directly by Client and those processed after notice of Agreement termination is provided; or (ii) custodial and clearing services with respect to the Account, as applicable.

D. Prepayment of Fees Clients may pay fees in advance if requested. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of a quarter, all advisory fees paid in advance shall be prorated and refunded proportionately within two weeks of termination.

E. Other Compensation Summa has a fixed-fee contract with an international investment advisor and other investors, wherein Summa provides general investment advice for an annual fee. Neither Summa nor its supervised persons accept any other compensation/commission for the recommendation of securities or non-securities products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds or insurance products.

A portion of the client's portfolios might be invested in hedge funds. Hedge funds have liquidity constraints and offer limited transparency regarding individual holdings, but they provide access to markets and investment strategies that are usually not available to individual investors. Summa invests only in hedge funds with a significant track record and solid performance. Summa also studies the managers’ credentials and their investment strategies. Investing in hedge funds might result in losses that the clients should be prepared to bear.

B. Material Risks Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. All investments carry some amount of risk. Summa’s investment strategies may be subject to the following principal investment risks: Credit Risks – The risk that the portfolio could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations. Counter-Party Risks – A portfolio may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation. Currency Risks – The risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the US dollar and affect a portfolio’s investments in foreign (non-US) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign (non-US) currencies.

Debt Securities Risks – The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the portfolio’s returns. Derivatives Risks – The use of derivatives such as futures, options, and swap agreements can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk. Emerging-Markets Risk – Foreign investment risks are typically greater for securities in emerging markets, which can be more vulnerable to recessions, currency volatility, inflation, and market failure. Equity Risks – The risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed-income securities. ETF Risks – A portfolio will be exposed indirectly to all the risks of securities held by an ETF. Foreign Investment Risk – Foreign investments face the potential of heightened illiquidity, greater price volatility, and adverse effects of political, regulatory, tax, currency, economic, or other macroeconomic developments. High-Yield Securities Risk – High-yield securities carry a much greater risk of default or of failing to return principal and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities. Interest-Rate Risk – The risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates. Issuer Risk – The value of a security may decline due to adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it with credit or liquidity support. Issuer Non-Diversification Risk – The risks of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, industries, or foreign currencies, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Leverage Risk – The risk that certain portfolio transactions may give rise to leverage, causing the portfolio to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged.

Liquidity Risk – A security may not be sold at the desired time or without adversely affecting its price. Market Risk – The market price of securities held by a portfolio may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries. Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk – These securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or the assets underlying such securities may require reinvestment at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns. Regulatory Risk – The risk that changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment. Short Sale Risk – The risk of entering into short sales includes the potential loss of more money than the investment's actual cost and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to a portfolio. Private Securities Risk – Private securities carry the risks of their respective public securities, but these risks can be magnified by their illiquidity and limited public knowledge of the business. These securities are inherently riskier. Information Security Risk – Clients may be susceptible to risks to the confidentiality and security of Summa’s operations and proprietary and customer information. Information risks, including theft or corruption of electronically stored data, denial-of-service attacks on our website or the websites of our third-party service providers, and the unauthorized release of confidential information, are among the more common risks faced by other investment advisors and us. Data security breaches of our electronic data infrastructure could disrupt our operations and compromise our customers’ confidential and personally identifiable information. Such breaches could result in our inability to conduct business, potential losses, including identity theft and the theft of customers' investment funds, and other adverse consequences for customers. We have taken, and will continue to take, steps to detect and mitigate the risks associated with these threats. Mutual Funds and ETFs – Investing in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. Mutual fund and ETF shareholders are necessarily subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund's underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital gains, as mutual funds

and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains, in the event they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss. Shares of mutual funds are generally distributed and redeemed on an ongoing basis by the fund itself or a broker acting on its behalf. The trading price at which a share is transacted is equal to a fund's stated daily per share net asset value ("NAV"), plus any shareholders' fees (e.g., sales loads, purchase fees, redemption fees). The per-share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business day, although the actual NAV fluctuates with intraday changes to the market value of the fund's holdings. The trading prices of a mutual fund's shares may differ significantly from the NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the mutual fund's shares trading at a premium or discount to the actual NAV. Shares of ETFs are listed on securities exchanges and transacted at negotiated prices in the secondary market. Generally, ETF shares trade at or near their most recent NAV, which is generally calculated at least once daily for index-based ETFs and potentially more frequently for actively managed ETFs. However, certain inefficiencies may cause the shares to trade at a premium or discount to their pro rata NAV. There is also no guarantee that an active secondary market for such shares will develop or continue to exist. Generally, an ETF only redeems shares when they are aggregated into creation units (usually 20,000 shares or more). Therefore, if a liquid secondary market for shares of a particular ETF ceases to exist, a shareholder may have no way to dispose of those shares.

C. Relationships Material to This Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest Summa has a sub-advisory relationship with St. James Investment Company, LLC, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor (“St. James”) whereby St. James may act as portfolio manager for certain clients of Summa. St. James receives a portion of the management fee that Summa charges for those clients. Summa has a sub-advisory relationship with Summa Asset Management, a Panamanian investment firm (“SAM”), under which SAM acts as portfolio manager for certain Summa clients. SAM receives a portion of the management fee that Summa charges for those clients. SAM also has a sub-advisory relationship with Summa, under which Summa acts as portfolio manager for certain of SAM's clients. Summa receives a portion of the management fee that SAM charges for those clients. These relationships create potential conflicts of interest, as they may encourage Summa and its representatives to recommend investment products or transactions based on compensation received rather than the client’s best interests. The Firm mitigates this potential conflict by ensuring that clients are served in a manner that upholds the Firm’s and the representatives’ fiduciary duty to act in clients' best interests and not to base client decisions on potential compensation.

D. Selection of Other Advisors of Managers and Compensation for those Selections Summa has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with St. James under which St. James may act as portfolio manager for certain of Summa's clients. St. James will receive a portion of the management fee charged by Summa. This relationship creates potential conflicts of interest, as it may encourage Summa and its representatives to recommend investment in products or transactions based on compensation received rather than the client’s best interests. The Firm mitigates this potential conflict by ensuring that clients are served in a manner that upholds the Firm’s and the representatives’ fiduciary duty to act in clients' best interests and not to base client decisions on potential compensation.

C. Trading and Investing in the Same Securities as Clients No security may be bought or sold by a principal or employee of Summa before Summa clients’ accounts have had the opportunity to make such transactions as appropriate. All Summa trades made by employees who make recommendations or participate in the determination of which recommendation shall be made require prior approval and are reviewed by the President. Principals and employees will not receive a more favorable execution price on a particular day than those received by their investment advisory clients. As this practice presents conflicts of interest, all employees of Summa must comply with the Firm’s Compliance Manual and Code of Ethics, which impose restrictions on the purchase or sale of securities for their own accounts and the accounts of certain affiliated persons. The Compliance Manual and Code of Ethics require prior clearance and monthly reports on all personal securities transactions, except transactions in investment company securities and/or other exempt transactions. Further, the Compliance Manual and Code of Ethics impose policies and procedures regarding the misuse of material non-public information, designed to prevent insider trading by any officer, partner, or associated person of Summa.

Certain investment advisory representatives are registered representatives of Investment Placement Group; however, no commissions are paid to affiliated investment advisory representatives for any client transactions. Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits It is not Summa’s practice to negotiate “execution only” commission rates, thus client may be deemed to be paying for other services provided by the broker which are included in the commission rate. These other services may include research, news and quotation equipment, electronic office equipment, account record-keeping, online financial information, and data processing. Research services furnished to Summa may or may not be used by Summa in the servicing of its investment advisory clients. The types of products and services may include written and oral reports concerning current or prospective portfolio holdings, economic interpretations, and portfolio strategy. Summa will allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that it believes to be fair and reasonable to its clients and consistent with client objectives. Summa executes aggregate purchases or sales of securities for various clients when it has the opportunity and when it receives or places the same order at the same time for several accounts. Adhering to a strict formula will not be practicable given the variation in client objectives and guidelines. Prospective clients are hereby advised that lower brokerage fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Brokerage for Client Referrals Summa does not recommend or select broker-dealers for clients based on the possibility of receiving referrals from the broker-dealers.

Directed Brokerage Clients can instruct us to direct all or a portion of the securities transactions for their account to a specified broker or dealer. We will treat the client’s direction as a decision by the client to retain the discretion otherwise exercised in selecting a broker-dealer to effect transactions and in negotiating transaction fees generally for the client's account. The client who directs us to use a specific broker can pay higher or lower transaction fees, such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs, dealer spreads, credits, or otherwise, and can receive less or more favorable execution services than if the client did not direct transactions to a particular broker. In the event the client wishes to make direct transactions to specific broker/dealers, the client should be aware that Summa may not be able to achieve best execution.

B. Aggregation of Securities for Multiple Client Accounts To the extent possible, Summa will aggregate client transactions for the same securities to improve execution quality and pricing. However, as each client is treated individually, Summa may not be able to aggregate all transactions.

C. Trade Error Policy It is Summa’s policy not to benefit from trade errors at its clients’ expense. If the error was caused by Summa’s actions and is in the client’s favor, Summa will allow the client to keep any benefit. If, however, the error is not favorable to the client, Summa will absorb the cost of the error.

B. Factors that Will Trigger Non-Periodic Reviews The nature and frequency of reports to clients are determined primarily by each client's particular needs. In the event of changes in economic or political conditions, the accounts could be reviewed more frequently than monthly.

C. Reports Provided to Clients Summa utilizes Masttro to produce portfolio reports to clients. In addition, clients receive periodic written statements from their custodian detailing all activity and assets in their managed accounts.

The Foreign Solicitor shall deliver to each prospective client a current copy of Summa’s Brochure, together with a separate Written Disclosure Statement (“Disclosure Statement”). For each client referral the Foreign Solicitor makes to Summa, we will pay an amount from the management fees earned and collected, in accordance with the fees disclosed in the contract between the firms, as long as the client maintains such an account with the Foreign Solicitor. The specific terms of the compensation will be disclosed to the client in the Disclosure Statement as delivered by the Foreign Solicitor.

B. Custody Overview Custody Rule The Custody Rule provides that it is a fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative act, practice or course of business within the meaning of the Advisers Act for an investment adviser that is registered or required to be registered under the Advisers Act to have custody of client funds or securities unless they are maintained in accordance with the requirements of the rule. In this regard, where an investment adviser has custody of client funds or securities, it must obtain a surprise examination of client assets by an independent public accountant. Invoicing Summa is deemed to have custody of the funds and securities as a result of its authority to make withdrawals from client accounts to pay its advisory fee. However, a surprise examination is not required because Summa has written authorization from each client to deduct advisory fees from the account held with the qualified custodian, and each time a fee is directly deducted from a client account, we send the qualified custodian an invoice or statement of the amount of the fee to be deducted from the client’s account.

C. Statements Clients will receive at least quarterly statements from the broker/dealer, bank, or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains clients’ investment assets. Summa urges its clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to any information that Summa may provide to them. Summa’s information may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies for certain securities.

When selecting securities and determining the amount to be invested, Summa observes the investment policies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Summa in writing.
