Ain & Gruda Associates and Merges With H&CO, LLP

We are happy to announce the association and merger of Ain & Gruda Associates with H&CO, LLP, which became effective on January 1, 2021.

H&CO, LLP is an accounting firm with offices in Coral Gables, Brickell and Fort Lauderdale that has
been in business for over 25 years. Considered one of the top 15 accounting firms in South Florida, the
H&CO team consists of over 200 professionals specialized in providing international tax and advisory
services to national and multinational entities as well as high-net-worth individuals.

This merger broadens our depth of services, resources and commitment to continue to provide our clients
with the finest services available.

H&CO shares the same values we do. We conducted an extensive search looking for an opportunity like
this and H&CO exceeded our hopes for a firm we can combine with and continue the tradition we have
for excellent service, deep expertise, and an environment our clients and associates want to be a part of.
By combining the capabilities, expertise and technology of both firms, we will be able to provide you
many new services and areas of expertise in the future. We look forward to discussing those in more
depth with you. However, there are several things we want to point out that will not change:

• You will continue to work with the same people in our firm you have in the past. All of our
  people are being retained in their current roles.
• The services we have provided you in the past will continue to be offered by the combined
  firm.

We look forward to introducing you to some of our new Partners and Associates. In the meantime, if you
have any questions about this merger and what it will mean for you, please contact us at any time.

We are grateful to you not only for giving us the opportunity to provide you with accounting services but
for your loyalty and trust, which have enriched our relationship. We are confident that our new affiliation
will serve us all well.

We promise to continue positively outrageous service to you!
