In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### *Basis for Opinion* These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 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 statements, 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 statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. #### *Supplemental Information* The accompanying Computation of Net Capital under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Computation for Determination the Reserve Requirements under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-3 as of June 30, 2025 (collectively, the "supplemental information") has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. {5}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_5_Picture_0.jpeg) In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Organization and Basis of Presentation** Georgeson Securities Corporation (the "Company" or "GSEC"), a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Georgeson LLC (the "Parent" or "GLLC"), an indirect subsidiary of Computershare US (the "US Parent Company). Computershare Limited, a publicly-held Australian corporation, is the ultimate parent of the Company. The Company is a registered broker dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company serves as a broker dealer for transactions initiated by its affiliates. These transactions include purchase and sale transactions for employee stock purchase plans ("ESPPs") as well as the purchase and sale of securities by affiliates to assist in their transfer agency dividend reinvestment and similar plans. The Company engages in services to The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registrants with publicly announced corporate share repurchase programs, conducted in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18. The Company carries customer balances associated with GLLC's Asset Reunification business. The Company is subject to the requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. # **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** # **Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Segregated for Regulatory Purposes** ### *Cash and Cash Equivalents* The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. For the purpose of reporting cash flows and amounts in the Statement of Financial Condition, the Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, demand deposits and time deposits with original maturities less than 90 days. No cash equivalents were held at year end. # *Cash Segregated for Regulatory Purposes* In accordance with Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company maintains a special reserve account for the benefit of its customers. The amounts owed to customers consists of funds in the sales settlement account waiting to be paid out to customers and funds in transit that are waiting to be paid out to customers. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the Statement of Cash Flows as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. | | June 30, 2024 | June 30, 2025 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|---------------| | Cash and cash equivalents | \$ 4,806,608 | \$ 5,745,704 | | Cash segregated for regulatory purposes | 3,000,052 | 3,000,052 | | Total cash, cash equivalents and cash segregated for
regulatory purposes | \$ 7,806,660 | \$ 8,745,756 | {11}------------------------------------------------ ### **Revenue Recognition** The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events**.** ### *Revenue earned from affiliates - Fixed Fees* The performance obligation for fixed fee revenue earned from affiliates is satisfied over a period of time. Since services are performed over the course of the year, the annual fee is recognized in twelve equal monthly increments. Fixed Fees were \$1,750,000 for the year ending June 30, 2025. # *Revenue earned from affiliates - Brokerage Commissions* The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are earned when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. Variable brokerage commissions were \$2,434,366 for the year ending June 30, 2025. # *10b-18 Revenue* The Company engages in services to SEC registrants with publicly announced corporate share repurchase programs, conducted in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18. Rule 10b-18, which was adopted in 1982, provides a voluntary "safe harbor" from liability for manipulation under Sections 9(a)(2) and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act, when a SEC registrant or its affiliated purchaser bids for or purchases shares of the SEC registrant's common stock in accordance with the Rule 10b-18's manner, timing, price, and volume conditions. The fees are paid by the SEC registrant clients and are outlined in the 10b-18 agreements between GSEC and the SEC registrant clients. 10b-18 Revenue of \$167,592 is included in the Fee revenue line on the Statement of Income. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, per share for trading activity on the date. # *Dealer Manager Revenue* The Company acts as the registered broker dealer and is contracted to provide services directly with the SEC registrants. Dealer manager services are for corporate actions such as equity and debt tender offers, consent solicitations, self-tenders, exchange offers and rights offers. Revenue is recognized per monthly invoices as defined in the agreements for the service. # *Sales Facility Trading Revenue* The Company sells shares for institutional clients on the open market with negotiated rates which can be on a per share basis or flat fee. Sales facility trading revenue of \$549 is included in the Fee revenue line on the Statement of Income. Revenue is recognized when the sales obligation is completed at a point in time, per share for the trading activity on the date. #### *Interest income* Interest income, which includes earning credits of balances held at financial institutions, is recognized as earned. {12}------------------------------------------------ # **Income Taxes** The results of operations for the Company are included in the consolidated federal and certain state income tax returns of Computershare US Inc. The Company also files income tax returns in some states on a stand alone basis. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statement of Income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company regularly assesses uncertain tax positions in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it has operations and accounts for the related financial statement implications. Unrecognized tax benefits are reported using the twostep approach under which tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained and the amount of the tax benefit recognized is equal to the largest tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement of the tax position. Determining the appropriate level of unrecognized tax benefits requires the Company to exercise judgment regarding the uncertain application of tax law. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when information becomes available or when an event occurs indicating a change is appropriate. Future changes in unrecognized tax benefits requirements could have a material impact on the results of operations. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as an adjustment to income tax expense. The Company has performed an evaluation of its tax positions and has concluded that as of June 30, 2025, there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The tax years that remain open for federal and state purposes are the years ended June 30, 2022 and forward. # **Use of Estimates** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates included in the financial statements. # **Fair Value of Non-Financial Instruments** The fair value of all financial assets and liabilities (consisting primarily of receivables from and payables to customers and affiliates) approximate the reported value due to their short-term nature. # **Credit Losses** Measurement of Credit Losses on financial instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology under ASC 326. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets including Receivables from affiliates. {13}------------------------------------------------ The Company recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The Company performed an evaluation of trade receivables to determine whether it is "probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled" for goods or services transferred to the customer (the "collectability threshold") along with its historical write-off history. The approach is based on the Company's historical default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted to reflect current economic conditions as well as reasonable future economic conditions. To arrive at the CECL amount, the Company applied the adjusted historical loss rates to trade receivable balances outstanding at period-end by delinquency / days past due category at the end of the reporting period. This evaluation takes into account the customer's ability and intention to pay the consideration when it is due along with incorporating changes in the forward-looking estimates. There was no credit allowance at June 30, 2025. # **3. Segment Reporting** GSEC is engaged in a single line of business as a registered broker-dealer. GSEC has identified its President as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM primarily relies on revenue to evaluate business performance and make operating decisions. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and, therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages business activities using financial information that includes all revenue streams. The CODM also uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to maintain capital adequacy. Additionally, operating expense allocations, including those related to personnel, are applied consistently across the Company reflecting a unified approach to managing the business as a single segment. As the Company operates as a single segment, the financial information required under ASC 280 is presented in the primary financial statements. Please refer to the Statement of Income. # **4. Amounts owed to Clearing Broker** All shareholder transactions are cleared through the Company's clearing broker, BofA Securities Inc. At June 30, 2025, the amount payable to the clearing broker is \$15,625 which is included in amounts owed to clearing broker on the Statement of Financial Condition. # **5. Related Party Transactions** In accordance with an expense sharing agreement, the Parent pays certain expenses, such as rent, personnel and insurance, on behalf of the Company and is then reimbursed by the Company. The Company is charged for these services based upon (a) actual costs incurred, where they are separately identifiable and (b) usage of office space or resources directly supporting the Company incurred by the Computershare group on the Company's relative number of full time employees in comparison to other affiliates of the group or percent of revenue or estimated usage to which such services are provided. For the year ended June 30, 2025, utilities and other property-related expenses charged back to the Company totaled \$33,652 which is included in Occupancy expenses on the Statement of Income. {14}------------------------------------------------ The Company enters into various transactions in the normal course of business with affiliated companies. These transactions include, among others, technology services provided by affiliates to the Company. For the year ended June 30, 2025, infrastructure and system support charges totaled \$110,939. This is included in the Technology expenses on the Statement of Income. Other transactions with affiliated companies such as marketing, finance, people, management, procurement, tax, treasury, and global recharges are considered shared service expenses paid to affiliates. These other transactions with affiliated companies totaled \$191,632 which is included in Shared services expenses paid to affiliates on the Statement of Income. The Company has an agreement with the Parent regarding dealer manager services. The amount of these fees that were charged back to the Company totaled \$87,875 including expenses for services performed on its behalf by its Parent. These fees are included in the Transfer agent expenses on the Statement of Income. The employee benefit expenses for the Company are paid for by Computershare Inc. An affiliate has established a qualified retirement plan covering full-time, salaried employees and certain part-time employees. Expenses under this plan are accrued each year, and the costs are charged to current operations. The Company's employees are eligible to participate in a contributory 401(k) plan. The Company incurred \$52,990 as its matching contribution to the plan for the year ended June 30, 2025, which is recorded within Compensation and benefits on the Statement of Income. The Company incurred \$36,286 of stock based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2025, which is recorded in compensation and benefits. In addition to providing retirement benefits, Computershare Inc. provides health care and life insurance benefits for active employees. The Company incurred health care and life insurance costs of \$82,254 which is recorded in compensation and benefits. The Company serves as a broker dealer for transactions initiated by its affiliates. Revenue of \$4,184,366 was recognized from affiliated companies during the year ended June 30, 2025. Dealer manager services are for corporate actions that must run through the broker dealer such as equity and debt tender offers, consent solicitations, self tenders, exchange offers and rights offers. Dealer manager revenue with the Parent accounted for \$92,500. Both amounts are separately disclosed on the Statement of Income. All intercompany transactions with the Parent and affiliated companies are charged or credited through intercompany accounts and may not be the same as those which would otherwise exist or result from agreements and transactions among unaffiliated third parties. At June 30, 2025, the receivable from affiliates and the payable to affiliates amounted to \$344,200 and \$1,891,785 respectively. # **6. Regulatory Requirements** The Company is subject to the net capital requirement of the Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which specifies, among other things, minimum net capital requirements for registered broker dealers. The Net Capital Rule provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio exceeds 10 to 1. In addition, certain advances, payments of dividends and other equity withdrawals are subject to certain notification provisions of the Net Capital Rule. In accordance with the Rule, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined, of \$250,000 or 2% of combined aggregate debit items, whichever is greater. At June 30, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$6,466,454 which was \$6,216,454 in excess of its required net capital of \$250,000. At June 30, 2025, the Company had no aggregate debit items. {15}------------------------------------------------ The Company is also subject to reserve requirements of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Customer Protection Rule"). Under the Customer Protection Rule customer free credit balances must be segregated and maintained in a Special Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers. In accordance with the Customer Protection Rule, the Company has segregated cash of \$3,000,052 in a special reserve account for the benefit of customers. Pursuant to the Company's 15c3-3 calculation, \$201,767 was required to be on deposit at June 30, 2025. # **7. Income Taxes** The income tax expense (benefit) for the year ended June 30, 2025 consists of the following: Current tax expense (benenefit) from continuing operations | Federal | \$

Any resulting provision or benefit for income taxes realized are generally recorded as a payable to or receivable from Computershare US Inc.

(94,364) | # **8. Contingencies** From time to time the Company is a defendant in certain litigation, and in addition, is examined by and answers inquiries from various government and regulatory agencies, which are incidental to the Company's business. Management believes that the outcome of any matters resulting from such litigation and inquiries will not materially affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote and immaterial. # **9. Liabilities Subordinated to Claims of General Creditors** The Company had no borrowings under subordination agreements during the year ended June 30, 2025. # **10. Segregated Cash** Cash of \$3,000,052 has been segregated in a special reserve account for the benefit of customers under Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC.

As required by 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5(d)(1) and (3), the Company states as follows: - 1. The Company has established and maintained Internal Control Over Compliance, as that term is defined in paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of Rule 17a-5. - 2. The Company's Internal Control Over Compliance was effective during the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2025; - 3. The Company's Internal Control Over Compliance was effective as of the end of the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2025; - 4. The Company was in compliance with 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-1 and 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(e) as of the end of the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2025; and - 5. The information the Company used to state that the Company was in compliance with 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-1 and 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(e) was derived from the books and records of the Company. We, Cynthia Nisley, Jeff Chasse and Scott Park, swear (or affirm) that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this Compliance Report is true and correct.

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over compliance that has the objective of providing the Company with reasonable assurance that non-compliance with 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-1, 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 (the "customer protection rule"), 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-13 ("the quarterly securities count rule"), or Rule 2231 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the "account statements rule"), which requires account statements to be sent to the customers of the Company (collectively, the "financial responsibility rules") will be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company's management is also responsible for compliance with the net capital rule and the reserve requirements rule and that the information used to assert compliance was derived from the books and records. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's assertions based on our examination. We conducted our examination in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether (1) the Company's internal control over compliance with the financial responsibility rules was effective as of and during the year ended June 30, 2025, (2) the Company complied with 17 C.F.R. §§ 240.15c3-1 and 240.15c3-3(e) as of June 30, 2025, and (3) the information used to assert compliance with 17 C.F.R. §§ 240.15c3-1 and 240.15c3-3(e) as of June 30, 2025 was derived from the Company's books and records. Our examination included testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over compliance with the financial responsibility rules, testing and evaluating the Company's compliance with 17 C.F.R. §§ 240.15c3-1 and 240.15c3-3(e), determining whether the information used to assert compliance with 240.15c3-1 and 240.15c3-3(e) was derived from the Company's books and records, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Georgeson Securities Corporation's compliance with the financial responsibility rules. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over compliance may not prevent or detect non-compliance with the financial responsibility rules. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. {29}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_29_Picture_0.jpeg) In our opinion, Georgeson Securities Corporation's assertions referred to above are fairly stated, in all material respects.
