I do nothing. Name: CONNOR WEALTH MANAGEMENT POSITION: owner NATURE: Insurance INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 3 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 01/15/2009ADDRESS: 5860 Snyder Dr, Lockport NY 14094-9497, United States DESCRIPTION: Connor Wealth Management is a sole proprietorship that I have utilized for 17 years to run my business with Commonwealth. It has utilities in it's name, staff is paid through it, it has a SEP IRA plan for staff and owner. It is anticipated that Connor Hammer will take over most or all of these responsibilities over time, but Connor Hammer will not be ready to do that on 4/1/26 so Connor Wealth Management will need to stay in existence for now. I have to file tax returns, payroll forms and taxes, and operate a SEP plan for the current business. Name: CONNOR HAMMER POSITION: owner, founder NATURE: Investment advisory services through Kestra Advisory Services, LLC INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 160 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 130 START DATE: 04/01/2026 ADDRESS: 5860 Snyder Dr, Lockport NY 14094-9497, United States DESCRIPTION: As part of the transition to Kestra, Eric Connor, Paul Hammer and Adam Hammer agreed to do business under a common name. I have filed the dba paperwork to establish the firm, currently as a sole proprietorship for expediency sake. We might make a change to a partnership in the future so that we are all actual owners. I anticipate keeping Connor Wealth Management as a dba name as well, not used for public facing roles any longer, but that will allow me to keep my old business files/employees as consistent as possible without needing to do a bunch of government updating for all the tax filing and employee filings that are required. Connor Wealth Management also shows up currently on my NY Life and Health Insurance license and I would not really be able to update that until the next time I renew my license, which is in October of this year. I purchased the web domain connorhammer.com as well. The answers below will be best guesses since the business is not active prior to affliating with Kestra, so we are not 100% final about anything. Name: KESTRA ADVISORY SERVICES POSITION: IAR NATURE: Investment advisory services through Kestra Advisory Services, LLC INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 160 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 130 START DATE: 04/01/2026 ADDRESS: 5707 Southwest Parkway, Building 2, Suite 400, Austin TX 78735, United States DESCRIPTION: IAR
