## **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and Sole Stockholder of Prime Dealer Services Corp.

### **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Prime Dealer Services Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

## **Basis for Opinion**

The financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this 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 presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit of the financial statement provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

February 25, 2026

We have served as the Company's auditor since 1997.

the Parent. The Company's CODM is its Chief Financial Officer, who evaluates the Company's financial performance primarily based on the profit measure, Income before provision for income taxes, and "excess net capital" which is not a measure of profit or loss to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy (see Note 9 for additional details), such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends.

### Accounting Updates Adopted in 2025

#### Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

The Company adopted the ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures update effective January 1, 2025. This update enhances annual income tax disclosures primarily to further disaggregate disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. For the income tax rate reconciliation, this update requires (1) disclosure of specific categories of reconciling items (where applicable), and (2) providing additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. For income taxes paid (net of refunds), this update requires disclosure of amounts disaggregated by (1) federal, state, and foreign taxes; and (2) individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, the update requires disclosure of (1) income (or loss) before income taxes, disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (2) income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. There was no impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption of this update. See Note 8 to the financial statements for the new disclosures

#### Accounting Development Updates

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued certain accounting updates, which the Company has either determined to be not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's statement of financial condition.

## 3. Related Party Transactions

The Company has an agreement with the Parent which allows the Company to execute reverse repurchase agreements. Accordingly, the Parent agrees to transfer to the Company primarily U.S. government guaranteed securities in exchange for cash. These reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as Securities purchased under agreements to resell in the statement of financial condition.

The Company has agreements with affiliates for other activities, including a tax sharing agreement with the Ultimate Parent as described in Note 8, global transfer pricing policies among the Firm, ("Ultimate Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries"), and other activities as described further below. Unsettled amounts for these activities are recorded within Receivables from or Payables to affiliates and are payable on demand.

The Company applies global transfer pricing policies among affiliates. These policies are consistent with the 2022 OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations. The Firm continues to engage in negotiations of Advance Pricing Agreements with selected tax authorities in respect of its key transfer pricing methodologies. The agreements reached to date do not materially impact the Company's statement of financial condition. The amounts associated with these policies are recognized in the Parent's financial statements as the Company is acting as an intermediary between its Parent and the Parent's prime brokerage clients in respect of securities borrowing and lending transactions.

On March 26, 2025, the Company made a cash distribution of \$150,000 of stockholder's equity to the Parent.

Securities received as collateral and Obligation to return securities received as collateral are generally valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 categorization would generally be assigned when valued based on quoted prices in inactive markets. When significant inputs are unobservable, a Level 3 categorization is assigned.

Points - Percentage of par

1. A single amount is disclosed for range and average when there is no significant difference between the minimum, maximum, and average. Amounts represent weighted averages except where simple averages and the median of the inputs are more relevant.

The previous table provides information on the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs, and the ranges and averages for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance. The level of aggregation and breadth of products cause the range of inputs to be wide and not evenly distributed across the inventory of financial instruments. Further, the range of unobservable inputs may differ across firms in the financial services industry because of diversity in the types of products included in each firm's inventory. Generally, there are no predictable relationships between multiple significant unobservable inputs attributable to a given valuation technique.

During 2025, there were no significant revisions made to the descriptions of the Company's significant unobservable inputs.

An increase (decrease) to the following significant unobservable inputs would generally result in a higher (lower) fair value.

Comparable equity price: A price derived from equity raises, share buybacks and external bid levels, etc. A discount or premium may be included in the fair value estimate.

1. The previous table excludes all non-financial assets and liabilities.

## 5. Collateralized Transactions

The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowed, and securities loaned transactions to manage excess liquidity and accommodate counterparties' needs respectively.

The Company monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared with the related receivable or payable, including accrued interest, and requests or posts additional collateral as required under the applicable agreement to ensure such transactions are adequately collateralized, or that excess collateral is returned

Increases in collateral margin calls on securities lending transactions due to market value declines may be mitigated by increases in collateral margin calls on securities borrowing transactions with similar quality collateral. Additionally, the Company may request lower quality collateral pledged be replaced with higher quality collateral through collateral substitution rights in the underlying agreements.

The Company actively manages its securities lending transactions in a manner that reduces the potential refinancing risk for less liquid assets and also considers the quality of collateral when negotiating collateral eligibility with counterparties. The Company utilizes shorter-term securities lending transactions for highly liquid assets for which funding may be at risk in the event of a market disruption.

#### Collateral Received

The Company receives collateral in the form of securities in connection with securities borrowed transactions. In many cases, the Company is permitted to sell or repledge these securities held as collateral and use the securities to enter into securities lending transactions. The Company also receives securities as collateral in connection with certain securities-for-securities transactions. In instances where the Company is the lender and permitted to sell or repledge these securities, it reports the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral in the statement of financial condition. Securities-forsecurities transactions where the Company is the borrower are not included in the statement of financial condition. At December 31, 2025, the total fair value of financial instruments received as collateral where the Company is permitted to sell or

repledge the securities was \$166,298,085, all of which had been repledged.

### 6. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. In some cases, the third-party entities that are, or would otherwise be, the primary defendants in such cases are bankrupt, in financial distress, or may not honor applicable indemnification obligations. These actions have included, but are not limited to, antitrust claims, claims under various false claims act statutes, and matters arising from our sales and trading businesses and our activities in the capital markets.

The Company is also involved, from time to time, in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental or other regulatory agencies regarding the Company's business, and involving, among other matters, financing, prime brokerage, financial products or offerings sponsored, underwritten or sold by the Company, and tax, accounting, and operational matters, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, disgorgement, restitution, forfeiture, injunctions, limitations on our ability to conduct certain business, or other relief.

The Company contests liability and/or the amount of damages as appropriate in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability had been incurred at the date of the statement of financial condition and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss or the range of loss, the Company accrues an estimated loss by a charge to income, including with respect to certain of the individual proceedings or investigations described below.

The Company's legal expenses can, and may in the future, fluctuate from period to period, given the current environment regarding government or regulatory agency investigations and private litigation affecting global financial services firms, including the Company.

In many legal proceedings and investigations, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or reasonably possible, or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where the Company has determined that a loss is probable or reasonably possible or an exposure to loss or range of loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, the Company may be unable to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. It is particularly difficult to determine if a loss is probable or reasonably possible, or to estimate the amount of loss, where the factual record is being developed or contested or where
