Disclosures

Know the boundary of the research.

Independent analysis is most useful when the reader can distinguish evidence, judgment, uncertainty, and the limits of the publication.

Important information

Research informs a decision. It does not replace one.

These disclosures apply to Riverson Arc publications and website content unless a publication states a more specific limitation.

01

General information

Riverson Arc publications provide general, impersonal information for educational and informational purposes. Nothing published by Riverson Arc is personalized investment advice, a recommendation tailored to a particular person, an offer or solicitation to buy or sell a security, or a representation that any security or strategy is appropriate for any reader.

02

Independent diligence

Readers should conduct their own research, evaluate their own objectives and constraints, and consult appropriately qualified financial, tax, legal, or other advisers where relevant. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

03

Research dates and updates

Each publication identifies its research cutoff and financial base. Unless a document is explicitly labeled as current coverage or an update, company-specific facts, forecasts, prices, and conclusions are fixed to the stated publication record and may be stale.

04

Forward-looking information

Forecasts, scenarios, estimates, valuation ranges, and model-implied prices are uncertain and may differ materially from actual outcomes. They depend on assumptions that can change, including demand, pricing, margins, capital spending, discount rates, terminal growth, financing, regulation, and management execution.

05

Sources and accuracy

Riverson Arc seeks to use sources believed to be reliable and identifies material evidence where practical. Accuracy, completeness, and timeliness are not guaranteed. Calculations may include estimates, classifications, rounding, and analyst judgments. Third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.

06

Past performance

Past performance, historical financial characteristics, and prior model outcomes do not guarantee future results. A high-quality business can be a poor investment at the wrong price, and an apparently attractive valuation can reflect risks not captured in a model.

07

Positions and conflicts

Relevant security positions and material research limitations are disclosed in individual publications. For Research Note 001, as of September 4, 2026, neither Dave Daulagupu nor Riverson Arc holds a position in Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) or Chevron Corporation (CVX).

08

Issuer-sponsored research

Riverson Arc may receive fixed compensation from a covered issuer for sponsored research. Compensation is agreed independently of the research conclusion and is not contingent on a rating, valuation, recommendation, share-price performance, investor response, or favorable opinion. Riverson Arc retains editorial control. Sponsored status and relevant compensation or conflicts are identified prominently in each applicable publication.

09

Client engagements

Riverson Arc may receive compensation from institutional clients for commissioned research, financial modeling, monitoring, or analytical support. Engagement scope and compensation do not predetermine research conclusions. Clients remain responsible for their own investment decisions. Riverson Arc does not provide custody, brokerage, trade execution, or discretionary portfolio management through these research engagements.

10

Research distribution and privacy

Subscription requires affirmative consent. Subscribers may unsubscribe from research email at any time using the link in each message. Riverson Arc may process contact information and engagement data through contracted website, analytics, and email-distribution providers for publication delivery, performance measurement, and inquiry handling, subject to the privacy notice and applicable requirements.

11

No ongoing duty

Publication does not create a duty to update, monitor, or notify readers when facts, estimates, prices, views, or circumstances change. Any subsequent update should be evaluated on its own stated evidence and cutoff.
