#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Member and the Board of Directors of TD Prime Services LLC

#### Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of TD Prime Services LLC (the Company) as of October 31, 2023 and the related notes (the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at October 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

#### Basis for Opinion

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Level 1 - Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that are accessible by the Company at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2 - Fair value is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted market prices for similar (but not identical) assets or liabilities in active market prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Fair value is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are initially valued at transaction price, which is considered the best estimate of fair value. After initial measurement, the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques requiring significant management judgment or estimation.

#### Cash

Cash consists of demand and term deposits at various deposit taking institutions which can be withdrawn without restriction.

#### Cash and securities Segregated in Compliance with Federal Regulations

The Company is obligated by rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("SEA") to maintain and segregate cash and/or securities in a special reserve bank account for the benefit of customers. The amount included in cash and securities segregated in compliance with regulations in the Statement of Financial Condition approximates fair value.

#### Receivables from and Payables to Brokers and Deposits with Clearing Organizations

The Company is a member of various clearing organizations at which it maintains cash and/or securities required for the conduct of its day-to-day clearance activities. The amounts included in deposits with clearing organizations and receivable to brokers in the Statement of Financial Condition approximates fair value.

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

#### Receivables from and Payables to Affiliates and Loan Payable to Affiliate

Loan payable to affiliate represents the amount drawn by the Company under its existing \$4.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with TDH. Other receivables from/to affiliates consist primarily of interest receivable and interest payable on open securities borrowed and securities lending transactions and amounts due to/from affiliates under Service level Arrangements. See note 6 for additional information on related-party transactions.

#### Receivable from/Payable to Customers

Receivable from and payable to customers include amounts due in cash and margin accounts. Margin accounts are collateralized by customer securities and are carried at the amount receivable, net of allowance for credit losses (as applicable). Collateral is required to be maintained at a specified minimum level at all times. Included in Receivable from customers is \$1.8 million related to accounts the Company maintains for other broker dealers. The Company monitors margin levels and requires clients to provide additional collateral or reduce margin positions to meet minimum collateral requirements if the fair value of collateral declines. Interest is calculated based upon the cost of the securities purchased by the customers on margin, net of any cash the customer has provided to the Company. The allowance for credit losses was not material for the period presented.

#### Securities Owned, at Fair Value

Securities owned, at fair value, consist of equity securities. These instruments are recorded on a trade date basis.

#### Securities Borrowed, Securities Borrowed from Affiliate, Securities Loaned, and Securities Loaned to Affiliate

Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are generally reported as collateralized financings and recorded at contract amounts plus accrued interest. Securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash and other collateral with the lender. The value of cash and other collateral generally exceeds the value of the securities borrowed. The Company applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for securities borrowed receivables. To the extent a portion of the receivable balance is not over collateralized, an estimate of the allowance for credit losses will be based only on the uncollateralized portion of the receivable balance. The allowance for credit losses on securities borrowed receivables was not material for the period presented. Likewise, with respect to securities loaned, the Company receives collateral generally in an amount in excess of the market value of the securities loaned.

{9}------------------------------------------------

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded as necessary. Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are recorded at the amount of the cash collateral advanced or received and adjusted for additional collateral required.

#### Securities Received as Collateral, at Fair Value and Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral, at Fair Value

The Company acts as lender in a securities lending transaction and may receive securities that can be pledged or sold as collateral instead of receiving cash. It recognizes an asset on the Statement of Financial Condition for the market value of those securities received as collateral, at fair value) and recognizes a liability for the same amount to recognize the obligation to return such collateral (obligation to return securities received as collateral, at fair value).

The Company acts as a borrower in a securities borrowing transaction and may provide securities instead of cash as collateral. These transactions are not recognized on the Statement of Financial Condition. The fair value of these securities borrowed on October 31, 2023 was \$1.3 billion.

#### Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase, at Fair Value

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions on the Statement of Financial Condition. TDPS has elected the fair value option on these transactions as performance on them is evaluated on a fair value basis. See Note 5 for further discussion of the valuation technique associated with these transactions. Such transactions are collateralized by equity and fixed income securities. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with the non-performance of counterparties in fulfilling these contractual obligations can be directly impacted by market fluctuations, which may impair the counterparties' ability to satisfy their obligations. The Company monitors the market value of securities delivered on a daily basis and refunds or obtains additional collateral as appropriate.

#### Translation of Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at rates of exchange prevailing at the close of business at the Statement of Financial Condition date.

{10}------------------------------------------------

#### 3. New Accounting Standards

#### Newly issued Accounting Standards Effective in Future Periods:

There are no new accounting standards not yet adopted that are material to the Company as of October 31, 2023.

#### 4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy as described in the Company's significant accounting policies in note 2.

Other financial instruments are recorded by the Company at amounts which approximate fair value. These financial instruments are considered to approximate their carrying amounts because they have limited counterparty credit risk, are short-term, or bear interest at market rates and, accordingly, are carried at amounts which are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Transfers between Levels 1 and 2 generally relate to whether a market becomes active or less active. Transfers between Levels 2 and 3 generally relate to whether significant relevant observable inputs are available for the fair value measurement in their entirety. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the period of the event or date of the change in circumstance that caused the change in level. There were no transfers into and out of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2023.

At October 31, 2023 there were \$8.231 billion of repurchase agreements measured at fair value, which is determined using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models using multiple market inputs, including interest rates and spreads. They are classified as Level 2 instruments as inputs are generally observable in quoted markets and can be validated through external sources.

{11}------------------------------------------------

#### 4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The following table presents (in Smillions) the level within the fair value hierarchy for each of the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2023:

#### 5. Collateralized Financing Transactions

The Company enters into securities borrowing and lending transactions to meet counterparty needs, earn residual interest spreads, and obtain securities for settlement purposes.

#### 7. Regulatory Requirements (continued)

customers on October 31, 2023 was \$0 and the Company had cash in the amount of \$0.1 million segregated in a special reserve account for the exclusive benefit of PAB customers.

#### 8. Subordinated Borrowing

The Company owes TDH the following amount pursuant to subordination agreements approved by FINRA:

|    | Amount      | Maturity | Rate                     |
|----|-------------|----------|--------------------------|
|    | 300.000.000 | 01/31/25 | 1-month SOFR + 1/8 of 1% |
| ಕೆ | 300.000.000 | 12/01/24 | 1-month SOFR + 1/8 of 1% |
|    | 300,000,000 | 10/15/25 | 1-month SOFR + 1/8 of 1% |
|    | 250,000,000 | 07/08/25 | 1-month SOFR + 1/8 of 1% |

The loans are subordinated to claims of general creditors and are included by the Company for purposes of computing net capital under the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule. To the extent that such borrowings are required for the Company's continued compliance with minimum net capital requirements, they may not be repaid. Accrued interest payable to TDH pursuant to subordinated agreements is included in payable to affiliates on the Statement of Financial Condition and was immaterial as of October 31, 2023.

#### 9. Off Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company's activities involve execution, settlement and financing of various debt, option and equity transactions for clients as principal or agent. The execution, settlement and financing of those transactions can result in off-balance sheet risk or concentration of credit risk.

In connection therewith, the Company may be exposed to a risk of loss not reflected on the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition for securities sold not yet purchased should the value of such securities rise.

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits.

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the settlement and financing of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance sheet risks in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations and the Company has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss.

The Company's customer financing and securities settlement activities may require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral for loans for such securities in support of various financing sources such as bank loans and securities loaned. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company seeks to control the risks associated with its customer activities by requiring customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines. The Company monitors required margin levels

{16}------------------------------------------------

#### 9. Off Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk (continued)

daily, and pursuant to such guidelines, require the customer to deposit additional collateral or to reduce positions when necessary.

#### 10. Guarantees

The Company is a member of a central counterparty clearing house ("CCP") and a customer of several organizations that clear and settle securities. In the normal course of business, certain activities of the Company involve the settlement of transactions with counterparties through these activities may expose the Company to risk in the event counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation. Pursuant to the clearing and membership agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify these entities for losses that they may sustain from the clients introduced by the Company. However, the transactions are collateralized by the underlying security, thereby reducing the associated risk to changes in the market value of the security through settlement date.

Associated with its CCP membership, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of the financial obligations of another who may default on its obligations to the exchange or the clearinghouse. Under the terms of the membership agreement, the Company posts collateral in the form of cash or securities relating to this requirement. In general, the Company's guarantee obligations would arise only if the CCP had previously exhausted its resources.

At October 31, 2023, there were no amounts to be indemnified to these entities pursuant to these agreements, and the Company believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote.

#### 11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of its business, the Company may be named a defendant in lawsuits and other legal proceedings. After considering all relevant facts and the advice of counsel, in the opinion of management, no accruals are necessary as of October 31, 2023 as a loss is not probable.

#### 12. Income Taxes

During 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduced the cost and complexity related to accounting for income taxes. As a result, TDSU no longer calculates income taxes on its results as a separate legal entity.

#### 13. Subsequent Events

The Company is required by accounting literature (ASC 855, Subsequent Events) to evaluate whether events occurring after the Statement of Financial Condition date but before the Statement of Financial Condition is available to be issued require accounting as of the balance sheet date or disclosure in the financial statement. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the statement of financial condition and determined that no such events have occurred.
