Apricus Wealth is a registered investment adviser based in Beaufort, South Carolina. We are organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Joseph J. Costigan is our firm's principal owner and chief compliance officer. Apricus Wealth became a registered investment adviser on February 5, 2020. Description of Services We offer discretionary investment management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you ongoing and focused investment advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and your financial circumstances. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization forms. Discretionary authorization will allow our firm to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without your approval prior to each transaction. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing. We do have limited authority to direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees from your accounts, but only with the appropriate written authorization from you. Where appropriate, we provide advice about any type of legacy position held in client portfolios. Typically, these are assets that are ineligible to be custodied at our primary custodian. Clients will engage us to advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). You are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Certain market and economic risks exist that adversely affect an account’s performance. This could result in capital losses in your account. Financial Planning We offer financial planning services but do not charge separately for this service. Our financial planning services may be general in nature or focused on particular areas of interest or request, depending on each client's unique circumstances and goals. Financial planning advice is offered

in the areas of goal setting, cash flow and debt management, retirement planning, investment planning, college education funding, tax planning, and estate planning as applicable. We offer such services as requested by the client and the client is responsible for implementing, accepting, or rejecting any plans we may present. We do not serve as an attorney, accountant, or insurance agent and no portion of our services should be construed as the same. To the extent requested by a client, we may recommend the services of other professionals for certain non- investment implementation purposes. You are under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. The client retains absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation that we make. Please note: If the client engages any unaffiliated recommended professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, the client agrees to resolve the dispute directly with the engaged professional. Types of Investments In general, we offer advice on equity securities, ETFs, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, mutual funds, U.S. Government securities, interests in partnerships investing in real estate and oil and gas interests, and other investments. You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or certain types of securities. You must provide these restrictions to our firm in writing. Client Obligation As we act on your behalf, offer our services, and communicate and adjust recommendations to you, Apricus Wealth will use information received from you, your other advisors, and your designees. You are directing Apricus Wealth, LLC to rely on this information and understand that we are not responsible for verifying it. Please keep us updated in writing about all changes to your financial situation, investment objectives, or goals so we may promptly make adjustments. We also ask that you keep us updated on your addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and any other information that will help us serve you.
