                                      GENERAL INFORMATION

Termination of the Financial Planning or Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be
cancelled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of written notice. The client
has the right to terminate an agreement without penalty for five business days after entering into
the agreement. Upon termination, all unpaid fees will be due and payable.

Mutual Fund or Securities Fees: Fees paid to Christine Messmer, P.C. for financial planning or
investment management are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by a no-
load mutual fund to shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in the securities
prospectus. A client could invest directly without our services; however, the client would not
receive the services provided by the firm.

Additional Expenses: Clients are responsible for transaction fees imposed by the discount
broker and custodian when certain transactions are handled in client’s account(s). Please refer to
the “brokerage practices” section (Item 12) of this Form ADV for additional information.

Advisory Fees in General: Clients should be aware that similar services may or may not be
available from other registered or unregistered investment advisors for similar, higher, or lower
fees.

Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees
in advance of services rendered.
