To Our Valued Clients,

You may have heard about or seen reports of the devastating wildfires affecting our hometown of Spokane, Washington. We want to reassure you that the Nelson Securities office, our staff, and our families are safe.

Like many in our community, several members of our team and their families were temporarily evacuated to hotels or the homes of relatives and friends. We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary efforts of our local fire departments, emergency responders, and the National Guard, who continue working around the clock to contain the fires and protect our communities.

For our local clients who have also been impacted by these devastating fires, our thoughts are with you, your families, and your friends during this incredibly difficult time. We wish you safety and strength as you navigate these challenging circumstances. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to assist or support you.

Despite these challenges, Nelson Securities remains fully operational through our business continuity and disaster recovery plans. We will continue to provide the financial guidance, investment management, and client service you have come to expect.

Our community faces difficult days ahead and a long road to recovery. The people of the Pacific Northwest have always demonstrated resilience, compassion, and a willingness to help one another. We are confident that, together, we will rebuild and emerge even stronger.

Thank you for your concern, your support, and your continued trust.

Sincerely,

Your Nelson Securities Team
