SOLICITOR'S DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PURSUANT TO

RULE 206(4)-1 OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISERS ACT OF 1940

Marstone, LLC ("Adviser") has entered into a solicitor's agreement (the "Agreement'') with Elevations Credit Union ("Solicitor'') whereby Adviser will pay cash compensation to Solicitor for introducing prospective investors who engage Adviser to provide investment services managed, directly or indirectly, by Adviser or its affiliates. Solicitor is not an investment advisory client of Adviser nor an investor in any of Adviser's investment products. Solicitor has a material conflict of interest in introducing prospective investors to Adviser because the compensation paid by Adviser to Solicitor under the Agreement incentivizes Solicitor to recommend that prospective investors invest with Adviser.

Solicitation Fees. Adviser and Solicitor have entered this Agreement which allows Adviser to offer investment advisory and financial planning services to Solicitor clients. In return, Adviser pays the Solicitor a referral fee (the "Referral Fee"). The Referral Fee will be 25% of the fee owed to the Adviser under its client agreement once the assets under management on the Adviser's Platform received from Solicitor reaches $5,000,000. The fee will continue to be paid to the Solicitor as long as the Solicitor client is a client of the Adviser. This fee will be owed regardless of charge backs or claims of refund unrelated to Solicitor error or willful negligence.

No cost will be added to the advisory fees that the client will pay for Adviser's services as a result of the fees paid to the Solicitor, and the client fee is the same as those charged to other clients of Adviser for similar services as further described in the Adviser's Form ADV Part 2A brochure. The parties acknowledge that Adviser and Solicitor are separate and distinct companies.
