A. Williams Jones Wealth Management, LLC (“Williams Jones”), registered as an investment adviser with the SEC in July 2019, acquired the advisory business of Williams, Jones & Associates, LLC, which is a limited liability company that was formed on June 26, 2006, in the State of Delaware and which became registered as an investment adviser with the SEC in April 1988. FOCUS FINANCIAL PARTNERS, LLC Williams Jones is part of the Focus Financial Partners, LLC (“Focus LLC”) partnership. Specifically, Williams Jones is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Focus LLC. Ferdinand FFP Acquisition, LLC is the sole managing member of Focus LLC. Ultimate governance of Focus LLC is conducted through the board of directors at Ferdinand FFP Ultimate Holdings, LP. Focus LLC is majority-owned, indirectly and collectively, by investment vehicles affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”). Investment vehicles affiliated with Stone Point Capital LLC (“Stone Point”) are indirect owners of Focus LLC. Because Williams Jones is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Focus LLC, CD&R and Stone Point investment vehicles are indirect owners of Williams Jones. Focus LLC also owns other registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, pension consultants, insurance firms, business managers and other firms (the “Focus Partners”), most of which provide wealth management, benefit consulting and investment consulting services to individuals, families, employers, and institutions. Some Focus Partners also manage or advise limited partnerships, private funds, or investment companies as disclosed on their respective Form ADVs. Williams Jones is managed by William P. Jones, Jr., Barbara A. Tarmy, John J. Eager, Malcolm L. Macpherson, Jr., Thomas H. MacCowatt, Maureen C. Tompkins, David A. Rosenfeld, John B. Cummings, Henry A.

The Williams Jones Principals serve as leaders and officers of Williams Jones and are responsible for the management, supervision and oversight of Williams Jones. B. INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES Portfolio Management We provide portfolio management services on a fee-only basis to high net worth individuals and families, pooled investment vehicles, corporations, charitable organizations and pension and profit-sharing plans. We generally invest client assets in equity securities of individual equity securities (stocks), fixed income securities (bonds and bond funds), mutual funds, ETFs and private investment funds. Client holdings are typically concentrated in approximately 25 positions. Financial Planning When requested by the client, we will include basic financial planning services in the services we offer portfolio management clients. Among other things, we advise clients in preparing for retirement, funding educational goals, charitable giving, insurance and addressing their estate planning needs. Clients are responsible for notifying us of any changes to their financial situation or investment objectives so that we can assess whether any of our previous recommendations should be revised. When providing financial planning services, we do not serve as an attorney, accountant, or licensed insurance agent, and no portion of our services should be construed as offering the same. Upon request, we may recommend the services of attorneys, accountants and other third-party professionals to assist with implementation of aspects of the financial plan or in connection with our provision of investment management services generally. The decision to engage any of these service providers rests solely with the client, and we disclaim any responsibility for the client’s experience with the service provider or the quality of the services they

provide. Private Investment Funds Certain of our investment advisory clients wish to allocate a portion of their portfolio to alternative investments. For clients who are interested and financially qualified, we sponsor investment vehicles that offer our clients access to investments in distressed debt, fixed income arbitrage, long‐short equity and multi‐strategy hedge funds, with a relatively low initial minimum investment. We offer our clients the ability to make investments in single third-party investment managers. In most cases, the single manager investments are made through a series of the WJA Alternative Investment Strategies I, LLC (“WJA Alternative Strategies”) (individually, a “Series Fund”). Each Series Fund pools client assets to invest in a single third-party investment manager. We also act as the investment manager of a private investment fund: WJA Housing Bond Fund, LLC seeks income that is exempt from federal income taxes by investing at least 80% of its assets in mortgage-related bonds. Advice to Retirement Account Clients We are a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), with respect to investment management services and investment advice provided to ERISA plan clients, including ERISA plan participants. We are also a fiduciary under section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) with respect to investment management services and investment advice provided to ERISA plans, ERISA plan participants, IRAs and IRA owners (collectively, “Retirement Account Clients”). As such, we are subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the IRC that include, among other things, prohibited transaction rules that are intended to prohibit fiduciaries from acting on conflicts of interest. When a fiduciary provides advice, the fiduciary must either avoid certain conflicts of interest or rely upon an applicable prohibited transaction exemption (a “PTE”). As a fiduciary, we have duties of care and of loyalty to you and are subject to obligations imposed on us by the federal and state securities laws. As a result, you have certain rights that you cannot waive or limit by contract. Nothing in our agreement with you should be interpreted as a limitation of our obligations under the federal and state securities laws or as a waiver of any unwaivable rights you possess. Lending We offer clients the option of obtaining certain financial solutions from unaffiliated third-party financial institutions through UPTIQ Treasury & Credit Solutions, LLC (together with UPTIQ, Inc. and its affiliates, “UPTIQ”). Please see Items 5 and 10 for a fuller discussion of these services and other important information. B. Our investment advisory services are customized to the needs of each client. Prior to providing investment advisory services, a portfolio manager of ours will ascertain each client’s investment objectives and recommend that the client’s assets be invested in accordance with those investment objectives. The client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions, in writing, on the investments in the client’s account; however, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject any such restrictions. C. We do not participate in wrap fee programs. D. As of December 31, 2023, we had $10,491,127,004 in assets under management on a discretionary basis and $77,186,384 in assets under management on a non- discretionary basis. Insurance We help our clients obtain certain insurance solutions from unaffiliated, third- party insurance brokers by introducing clients to our affiliate, Focus Risk Solutions, LLC (“FRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of our parent company, Focus Financial Partners, LLC. Please see Items 5 and 10 for a fuller discussion of this service and other important information.
