Mariner Wealth Advisors-Ic LLC

Item 5-Fees and Compensation

We do not charge a fee for investment advisory services. If you enter into an agreement
with Mariner or another affiliate based on our referral, you will be charged a fee by the
relevant affiliate as set forth in your Agreement with Mariner or the relevant affiliate.
Please refer to the Form ADV Part 2A of your investment adviser for additional
information about the manner in which it receives compensation. As compensation for our
referral, Mariner, or the relevant affiliate, pays to our investment adviser representatives a
portion of the advisory fee you pay.

Certain of our investment adviser representatives are licensed insurance agents and receive
compensation for the sale of insurance products to clients. To the extent such insurance
products have commissions payable to an investment adviser representative, this presents
a conflict of interest for the recommendation of such products for additional compensation.
Item 10 further describes our affiliated broker-dealer, insurance companies or agencies and
the conflict of interest that is presented when a representative of our Firm or Mariner
recommends that a client purchase an insurance commission product.

Annuities recommended by investment adviser representatives may contain charges, such
as mortality and expense fees, administrative fees, and optional rider fees. These fees vary
by company and are disclosed in the materials related to the insurance product. In addition,
our insurance agency affiliate will receive a one-time or trail commission from the
insurance company depending on the specific contract. Please refer to the insurance
product materials for details.

Certain investment adviser representatives also receive compensation for referrals made to
other affiliates.

Item 7-Types of Clients

We do not provide investment advice and do not manage assets for any type of client. We
provide referral services to Mariner and other affiliates through the introduction of
prospective clients. The types of clients we refer to Mariner and other affiliates include
individuals (including high net worth individuals), pension and profit-sharing plans,
corporations, and businesses.

If you enter into a written advisory agreement with Mariner or another affiliate, you will
become an advisory client of Mariner or the relevant affiliate. You will not be an advisory
client of us. Upon becoming a client of Mariner or another affiliate, the relevant firm and
its advisors are legally obligated to act in your best interests when providing investment
advisory services to you.
