Ocean Capital LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“Ocean Capital,” “we,” “us,” or “ours”), and its managing member William Heath Hawk, are significant shareholders and beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 4.68% of the outstanding shares of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), of Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund V for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc. (the “Fund”), a Puerto Rico corporation. We are writing to you in connection with the election of our four (4) nominees to the board of directors of the Fund (the “Board”) and our proposal to repeal any provision or amendment to the Fund’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “Bylaws”) adopted subsequent to July 9, 2021, each at the annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held virtually at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 29, 2021, including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof (the “Annual Meeting”).

1. To elect Ocean Capital’s slate of four (4) director nominees, José R. Izquierdo II, William Heath Hawk, Roxana Cruz-Rivera and Brent D. Rosenthal (the “Nominees”), to serve as directors on the Board, in opposition to the Fund’s director nominees (Proposal 1);

2. To ratify the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), as the Independent Auditors of the Fund for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (Proposal 2); and

3. To repeal any provision of, or amendment to, the Bylaws adopted by the Board without the approval of the Fund’s shareholders subsequent to July 9, 2021 (Proposal 3).

If you have already sent a proxy card furnished by the Fund’s management to the Fund, you have every right to change your vote by signing, dating and returning the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card or by following the instructions for telephone or Internet voting detailed thereon.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN.

• If your shares are registered in your own name, you may vote such shares by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card in the enclosed return envelope to Ocean Capital LLC, c/o Morrow Sodali LLC, in the enclosed postage-paid envelope today.

• If your shares were held for you by a brokerage firm, bank, bank nominee or other institution on the Record Date, only they can vote such shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please instruct your broker or bank to vote the BLUE Proxy Card on your behalf by following the instructions for Internet voting detailed on the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card, by calling the toll-free number contained therein, or by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card in the enclosed return envelope.

The Fund has claimed that our notice of intention to nominate director candidates and submit a proposal at the Annual Meeting failed to comply with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Fund’s organizational documents. Based on our interpretation of the Fund’s bylaws and charter, we fundamentally disagree with the Fund’s findings and conclusions. We are trying to assure our nominations will be respected by the Fund, including possibly seeking legal remedies in court. Because the Fund’s acknowledgment of the validity of our nomination notice is currently at issue, there is a risk that the Fund refuses to accept and count any votes cast on the BLUE Proxy Card.

REASONS FOR OUR SOLICITATION

As one of the largest shareholders of the Fund, Ocean Capital LLC has nominated a slate of four (4) highly-qualified Nominees who would not be “interested persons” (based on Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) and are independent (based on Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) (Proposal 1), and put forth a proposal to repeal any provision of, or amendment to, the Bylaws adopted by the Board without the approval of the Fund’s shareholders subsequent to July 9, 2021 (Proposal 3).

As committed investors, we are looking for the Fund to significantly improve both performance and governance in order to generate maximum returns for all shareholders. We believe shareholders cannot expect the Fund to perform significantly better without fundamental change, beginning in the boardroom by adding fresh perspectives.

We urge you to support our Proposals by voting the BLUE Proxy Card today, which we believe will help unlock value for investors.

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES ON THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

As discussed in further detail in the Fund’s proxy statement, the Fund has proposed that the shareholders ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of EY as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. If the shareholders fail to ratify the election, the Fund has indicated that it will reconsider whether to retain EY as its independent registered public accounting firm but may determine to do so. The Fund has also disclosed in the Fund’s proxy statement that even if the appointment is ratified by shareholders, the Audit Committee may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that the change would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Additional information regarding this proposal is contained in the Fund’s proxy statement.

Other than as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, none of us has any material interest in this proposal, individually or in the aggregate, including any anticipated benefit to us.

WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE RATIFICATION OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL NO. 3

PROPOSAL TO REPEAL BYLAW PROVISIONS AND AMENDMENTS

We have submitted the following proposal for shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal

“RESOLVED, that any provision of, or amendment to, the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund V for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc. adopted by the Board without the approval of the [Fund’s] stockholders subsequent to July 9, 2021 be and are hereby repealed.”

The reason for conducting this business at the Annual Meeting is to ensure that the will of the Fund’s shareholders with respect to the Nominees at the Annual Meeting is upheld and not be thwarted by any unilateral Bylaw provision or amendment adopted by the Board after we submitted our nomination notice to the Fund on July 9, 2021. While we are not aware of any such provisions or amendments to the Bylaws, we urge shareholders to adopt this proposal to prevent any possible interference with the shareholder franchise and our right as shareholders of the Fund to present business at the Annual Meeting for shareholders to consider and vote upon. We believe the approval of this proposal is necessary to safeguard the integrity of the contested Annual Meeting so that shareholders will not be deprived of considering and voting on our Nominees and the Proposal.

Other than as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, none of us has any material interest in this proposal, individually or in the aggregate, including any anticipated benefit to us.

WE RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO REPEAL ANY PROVISION OF, OR AMENDMENT TO, THE BYLAWS ADOPTED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL SUBSEQUENT TO JULY 9, 2021 ON THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ANNUAL MEETING

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

The Fund has set the close of business on June 9, 2021 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). Shareholders will be entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date. According to the Fund’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 29, 2021, there were 20,577,458 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date.

Shareholders, including those who expect to attend the Annual Meeting, are urged to authorize Ocean Capital to vote their shares on their behalf today by following the instructions for Internet voting detailed on the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card, by calling the toll-free number contained therein, or by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card in the enclosed return envelope to Ocean Capital LLC, c/o Morrow Sodali LLC, in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

Authorized proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted FOR the election the Nominees, FOR the ratification of the selection of EY, as the Independent Auditors of the Fund for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, FOR Ocean Capital’s proposal to repeal any provision of, or amendment to, the Bylaws adopted subsequent to July 9, 2021 by the Board without shareholder approval, and, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in the discretion of the persons named herein as proxies on all other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

QUORUM

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of more than one-half of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote, shall constitute a quorum. The shares that represent “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will not be counted as present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. The shares whose proxies reflect an abstention on any item will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

If your shares are owned directly in your name with the Fund’s transfer agent, you are considered a registered holder of those shares. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held by a broker, bank or other custodian, you hold those shares in “street name” and are not a registered shareholder. A registered holder may vote directly at the Annual Meeting by attending the Annual Meeting virtually and voting his or her shares at the meeting. Shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” may vote their shares at the Annual Meeting only if they obtain legal proxies from the registered holder of their shares and register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2021.

VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

Election of Directors — The Fund has adopted a plurality vote standard for director elections, meaning the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors of the Fund at the Annual Meeting provided that a quorum is present.

Proposal to Ratify the Selection of EY as the Independent Auditors of the Fund for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 — Provided that a quorum has been established, Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal to Repeal Bylaw Provisions and Amendments — Provided that a quorum has been established, Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

None of the applicable Puerto Rico law, the Fund’s Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting shareholders in connection with any of the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, you will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for your shares in connection with such proposals.

ABSTENTIONS; BROKER NON-VOTES

Abstentions will be treated as votes present at the Annual Meeting, but will not be treated as votes cast for Proposal 1. Abstentions, therefore, will have no effect on Proposal 1, but will have the effect of “against” votes on Proposals 2 and 3. Broker non-votes will not be treated as votes present at the Annual Meeting and will not be treated as votes cast for any of Proposals 1, 2 or 3. Broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on any of these proposals.

Because of the contested nature of the Annual Meeting, brokers holding shares of the Fund in “street name” for their customers will not be permitted by NYSE rules to vote on any of the Proposals 1, 2 or 3 on behalf of their customers and beneficial owners in the absence of voting instructions from their customers and beneficial owners.

Additional information regarding when a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to non-routine matters may be found in the Fund’s proxy statement. We urge you to instruct your broker or other nominee to vote your shares for the BLUE Proxy Card so that your votes may be counted.

Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your shares without instruction. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee to vote your shares for the BLUE Proxy Card so that your votes may be counted.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Shareholders of the Fund may, but need not, revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise either by attending the Annual Meeting and voting his or her shares of Common Stock virtually or by submitting a letter of revocation. The delivery of a later-dated proxy which is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to Ocean Capital c/o Morrow Sodali at the address set forth on the back cover of the Proxy Statement or to the Fund’s Secretary c/o Ocean Capital LLC, Metro Office Park, 8 St. 1, Ste 401, Guaynabo, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00968-1772, or to any other address provided by the Fund. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Fund, Ocean Capital requests that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to Ocean Capital LLC, c/o Morrow Sodali, 509 Madison Avenue, Suite 1206, New York, NY 10022, so that Ocean Capital will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares as of the close of business on the Record Date. If you hold your shares in street name, please check your voting instruction card or contact your bank, broker or nominee for instructions on how to change or revoke your vote. Additionally, Morrow Sodali may use this information to contact shareholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later-dated proxies for the election of the Nominees and approval of other proposals described herein.

SHOULD OTHER MATTERS WHICH OCEAN CAPITAL IS NOT AWARE OF WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME BEFORE THIS SOLICITATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING, THE PERSONS NAMED AS PROXIES IN THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD WILL VOTE ON SUCH MATTERS IN THEIR DISCRETION.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

Who is entitled to vote?

Shareholders who held shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, June 9, 2021, are entitled to be present and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date will entitle its holder to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote my shares?

Shares held in record name. If your shares are registered in your own name, please vote today by signing, dating and returning the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Execution and delivery of a proxy by a record holder of Common Stock will be presumed to be a proxy with respect to all shares held by such record holder unless the proxy specifies otherwise.

Shares beneficially owned or held in “street” name. If you hold your shares in “street name” with a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, only that nominee can exercise the right to vote with respect to the shares of Common Stock that you beneficially own through such nominee and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, it is critical that you promptly give instructions to your broker, bank, dealer, trust company or other nominee to vote in favor of the election of the Nominees and Proposal 3. Please follow the instructions to vote provided on the enclosed voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee and have your shares voted promptly.

According to the Fund’s proxy statement, any shareholder wishing to participate in the Annual Meeting must register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2021, and, when you register, please include the Fund’s name in the subject line and provide your name and address in the body of the e-mail. According to the Fund’s proxy statement, Broadridge will then e-mail you the meeting login information and instructions for attending and voting at the Meeting. Shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” must obtain legal proxies from their brokers, banks, trust companies or other nominees and follow the link above to register their shares, in order to participate in the Annual Meeting.

Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed BLUE Proxy Cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, “FOR ALL” four (4) of the Nominees listed in Proposal 1, “FOR” Proposal 2 and “FOR” Proposal 3.

How should I vote on the Proposals?

We recommend that you vote your shares on the BLUE Proxy Card as follows:

“FOR ALL” four (4) Nominees standing for election to the Board named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal 1); and

“FOR” the proposal to repeal any bylaw provisions and amendments described in this Proxy Statement (Proposal 3).

We make no recommendation with respect to the ratification of the selection of EY as the independent auditors of the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (Proposal 2).

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. Proxies may be revoked by any of the following actions:

• signing, dating and returning the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card (the latest dated proxy is the only one that counts);

• delivering a written revocation or a later dated proxy for the Annual Meeting to Ocean Capital LLC, c/o Morrow Sodali, 509 Madison Avenue, Suite 1206, New York, NY 10022, or to the secretary of the Fund; or

• attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

If your shares are held in a brokerage account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. If you attend the Annual Meeting and you beneficially own shares but are not the record owner, your mere attendance at the Annual Meeting WILL NOT be sufficient to revoke your prior given proxy card. You must have written authority from the record owner (e.g., by obtaining a legal proxy) to vote your shares held in its name at the Annual Meeting and register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2021 in order to attend the meeting. Contact Morrow Sodali toll free at (800) 662-5200 or collect at (203) 658-9400 for assistance or if you have any questions.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED USING THE FUND’S PROXY CARD, WE URGE YOU TO REVOKE IT BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Fund, we request that either the original or a copy of any revocation be mailed to Ocean Capital LLC, c/o Morrow Sodali, 509 Madison Avenue, Suite 1206, New York, NY 10022, so that we will be aware of all revocations.

What is Householding of Proxy Materials?

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers and banks) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. Some banks and brokers with account holders who are shareholders of the Fund may be householding our proxy materials. A single copy of this Proxy Statement (and of the Fund’s proxy statement and annual report) will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from one or more of the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your bank or broker and direct your request to the Fund by writing to Liana Loyola, the Secretary of the Fund, 250 Muñoz Rivera Avenue American International Plaza, Tenth Floor, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of this Proxy Statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker.

APPENDIX A

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE NOMINEES AND PARTICIPANTS

Ocean Capital has nominated four (4) highly-qualified individuals for election as directors at the Annual Meeting: José R. Izquierdo II, Roxana Cruz-Rivera, William Heath Hawk and Brent D. Rosenthal.

This proxy solicitation is being made by Ocean Capital and the Nominees. Ocean Capital and the Nominees may each be deemed a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants.”

As of July 19, 2021, the Participants may be deemed to “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 or Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act for the purposes of this Appendix A), in the aggregate, 963,308 shares of Common Stock (including 100 shares of Common Stock held in record name by Ocean Capital) representing approximately 4.68% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentages used herein are based upon the 20,577,458 shares of Common Stock outstanding as disclosed in the Fund’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. Ocean Capital may be deemed to beneficially own 951,108 shares of Common Stock.

As of July 19, 2021, Mr. Hawk may be deemed to beneficially own 963,308 shares of Common Stock, consisting of (i) 12,200 shares of Common Stock directly owned and (ii) 951,108 shares of Common Stock owned by Ocean Capital, which Mr. Hawk as Managing Member of Ocean Capital may be deemed to beneficially own, representing approximately 4.68% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

As of July 19, 2021, none of Messrs. Izquierdo and Rosenthal and Ms. Cruz-Rivera beneficially own any shares of Common Stock or has entered into any transactions in securities of the Fund during the past two years. Each Nominee specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock except to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest therein.

Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement, none of the Nominees nor any of their Immediate family Members owns beneficially or of record any class of securities in (i) the Fund’s investment adviser, principal underwriter or Sponsoring Insurance Company (as defined in Item 22 of Schedule 14A); or (ii) any person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser, principal underwriter, or Sponsoring Insurance Company. Each of our Nominees specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities that he or she does not directly own. For information regarding purchases and sales of securities of the Fund during the past two (2) years by certain members of Ocean Capital, see Appendix B — Transactions in Securities of the Fund During the Past Two Years (which is incorporated herein by reference).

Since the beginning of the Fund’s last two completed fiscal years, no officer of an investment adviser, principal underwriter, or Sponsoring Insurance Company of the Fund, or of a person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control thereby, serves, or has served, on the board of directors of a company of which any of the Nominees is an officer.

None of the Nominees nor any of their Immediate Family Members (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) has or has had any direct or indirect interest, the value of which exceeded or is to exceed $120,000, during the past five years, in (i) the Fund’s investment adviser, principal underwriter or Sponsoring Insurance Company; or (ii) any person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser, principal underwriter, or Sponsoring Insurance Company. In addition, none of the Nominees or any of their Immediate Family Members has, or has had since the beginning of the Fund’s last two completed fiscal years, or has currently proposed, any direct or indirect relationship, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, with any of the persons specified in paragraphs (b)(8)(i) through (b)(8)(viii) of Item 22 of Schedule 14A.

Ocean Capital believes that each Nominee presently is not, and if elected as a director of the Fund, would not be, an “interested person” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and that each Nominee would be independent within the meaning of Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. No Nominee is a member of the Fund’s compensation, nominating and governance, dividend or audit committees that is not independent under any such committee’s applicable independence standards.

A-1

The Nominees will not receive any compensation from Ocean Capital for their services as directors of the Fund if elected. If elected, the Nominees will be entitled to such compensation from the Fund as is consistent with the Fund’s practices for services of directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund.

None of our Nominees is a party adverse to the Fund, or any of its subsidiaries, or has a material interest adverse to the Fund, or any of its subsidiaries, in any material pending legal proceeding.

We do not expect that any of our Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but, in the event that any Nominee is unable to serve or, for good cause, will not serve, the shares represented by the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card will be voted for substitute nominee(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law. In addition, we reserve the right to nominate substitute person(s) if the Fund makes or announces any changes to the Bylaws or takes any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any Nominee, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law. In any such case, the shares represented by the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card will be voted for such substitute nominee(s). We reserve the right to nominate additional person(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law, if the Fund increases the size of the Board above its existing size or increases the number of directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding sentence are without prejudice to the position of Ocean Capital that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board or to change the classifications of the Board would constitute an unlawful manipulation of the Fund’s corporate machinery.

The principal occupation of Mr. Izquierdo is Member and Managing Director of Main Line Ventures, LLC, a firm that counsels corporations, international organizations and world-class athletes on a range of legal, strategic, and developmental matters. The principal occupation of Ms. Cruz-Rivera is Tax Director of the Tax Advisory Services Division of RSM Puerto Rico, LLC, a consulting firm. The principal occupation of Mr. Hawk is President and Chief Executive Officer of First Southern, LLC, a boutique financial services company that provides a broad spectrum of investment and brokerage services to individuals and institutional clients. The principal occupation of Mr. Rosenthal is Founder and Investor at Mountain Hawk Capital Partners, LLC. The Principal business of Ocean Capital is a company formed to invest in various opportunities in the financial arena and to transact any lawful business in Puerto Rico financial arenas.

The principal business address of Mr. Izquierdo is 70 Ponce de Leone Ave., Suite 160, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918. The principal business address of Ms. Cruz-Rivera is 1000 San Roberto St. Reparto Loyola, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00926.
