#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Member of SG Americas Securities, LLC

#### Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of SG Americas Securities, LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 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 December 31, 2022, 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 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.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2014. March 1, 2023

#### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2022

#### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Cash and investments segregated on deposit for regulatory purposes - The Company is obligated by rules mandated by the SEC and the CFTC to segregate or set aside cash or qualified securities to satisfy regulations promulgated to protect customer assets. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its segregation requirements, which includes segregation, secured, cleared swaps customer funds, 15c3-3 requirements, and 15c3-3 PAB requirements (see Notes 3 and 19).

Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase - The Company purchases securities under agreements to resell ("resale agreements") and takes possession of these securities. Resale agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions. The Company also securities under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements"). Resale and repurchase agreements are generally collateralized by corporate debt, U.S. government, and equity securities.

Resale and repurchase agreements are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts. Collateral is valued daily, and the Company may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or return additional collateral pledged when appropriate. Contracted values of resale and repurchase agreements approximate fair value because they are short term in nature and are collateralized.

The Company nets certain resale and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty on the Statement of Financial Condition when the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") 210-20-45-11 Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Repurchase and Resale Agreements, are met.

Interest and fees earned on resale agreements and interest and fees incurred on repurchase agreements. Related accrued interest and fees are included in Other assets or Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Securities borrowed and Securities loaned - Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash or other collateral with the lender. The Company receives cash or other collateral for securities loaned transactions from the borrower. Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are generally collateralized by equity securities. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and securities loaned on a daily basis, as collateral is valued daily, and the Company may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or return additional collateral pledged when appropriate. Contracted values of securities borrowed and securities loaned agreements approximate fair value because the transactions are generally short term in nature and are collateralized.

Cash collateralized securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions with a specified maturity date and cleared through a central clearing organization are presented on a net basis on the Statement of Financial Condition according to FASB ASC 210-20-45-1, Right of Setoff Criteria.

Securities collateral are also advanced or received in certain non-cash securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions. As required by FASB ASC 860 - Transfers and Servicing ("ASC 860"), in those instances where the Company acts as the lender in a securities lending agreement and receives securities as collateral that can be pledged or sold, it reports the fair value of the securities

transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses a market approach. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company uses its own assumptions to estimate those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

FASB ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company's Level 1 balances generally include U.S. government securities, equity securities, and equity stock index securities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or adjusted quoted prices in markets that are active, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. The inputs are based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company's Level 2 balances generally include certain exchange shares, corporate debt and other, certain U.S. government agency securities, OTC options, listed U.S. options and certain derivative contracts.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are sigmificant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management or estimation. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using unobservable inputs or for which unobservable inputs were significant to their fair value measurement throughout the year or at December 31, 2022.

An instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement of an instrument requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the instrument.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from product and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In periods of market disruptions, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified between levels (see Note 8).

#### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2022

#### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Customer and noncustomer transactions - Customer and noncustomer transactions on the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition are defined by the SEC and CFTC. Customer and noncustomer balances may also include amounts related to client trades that are cleared through foreign affiliates and are reported in accordance with the Exemption of Certain Foreign Brokers or Dealers Rule - SEC Rule 15a-6 ("SEC Rule 15a-6").

Receivables from and payables to customers include amounts due on futures trading accounts and on cash and margin accounts on a settlement date basis, and securities failed to deliver/receive. The Company has securities owned by customers in its possession or control. These securities are held by the Company as either margin collateral or as fully paid securities in safekeeping and these securities are not reflected in the Statement of Financial Condition.

At December 31, 2022, the market value of customer securities held for futures and cleared swaps customers was \$11,482.7 million, of which \$10,390.8 million has been pledged as margin at carrying brokers and clearing organizations. See Note 5 for securities received as collateral and repledged on securities activity.

At December 31, 2022, the Company was permitted to repledge securities with a fair value of \$246.3 million under the margin agreements. None of these securities were used to collateralize for the customer margin balances as of December 31, 2022.

Employee compensation plans - The Company's employees may participate in certain SG stockbased compensation plans (see Note 14).

Other assets - The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of other assets to determine if events or circumstances exist indicating that the asset may be impaired (see Note 7).

The Company has ownership interests in several exchanges. Due to the demutualization of some exchanges, the Company's ownership interests in exchanges are classified as either trading securities or exchange memberships and are included on the Statement of Financial Condition as Financial instruments owned - at fair value, or Other assets, respectively. Exchange membership seats are recorded at cost, or if an other-than temporary impairment in value has occurred, at a value that reflects management's estimate of the impairment.

Commissions and fees - Commissions and fees generally include fees earned from the Company acting as an agent in buying and selling futures and securities on behalf of counterparties, including affiliates. The Company's contract arrangements with customers contain a fixed transaction price and a single performance obligation, including trade execution, clearing, settlement and/or custody (if any). The fees derived from these contracts with customers are recognized and collected at the point in time the associated service is fulfilled, generally on trade-execution date.

Commissions and fees also include fees earned pursuant to certain intercompany agreements with SGASH and other affiliates. In accordance with these intercompany agreements, the Company acts legally in an agent and broker capacity on behalf of SGASH and affiliates in the U.S. markets (see Note 10). Such intercompany agreements contain a fixed transaction price and a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer, therefore SGAS is

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

#### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2022

#### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

required to treat the series as a single performance obligation. The fees derived from these agreements are accrued over time on a monthly basis since the associated series of services are fulfilled continuously over time until such intercompany agreements expire or are terminated.

Interest - Interest is measured on contractual or stated interest rates on collateralized agreements, demand deposits and customer balances in debits and recorded on an accrual basis over the life of the instrument. Interest receivable and payable are reported on the Statement of Financial Condition in Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

Dividends - The Company receives dividends on certain securities owned and pays dividends on certain securities sold short. The Company records dividend date. Interest and dividend receivable and payable are reported on the Statement of Financial Condition in Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

Investment banking - Investment banking fees represent fees earned from debt and equity capital market financing, debt and equity underwriting, and mergers and acquisition advisory services and are generally categorized as financial advisory fees, loan arrangement fees and security underwriting fees. Investment banking fee arrangements contain a fixed transaction price and a single performance obligation (e.g., financial advisory service, loan arrangement service or security underwriting service). Investment banking fees are recognized at the point in time when the Company's performance obligation under the terms of a contractual arrangement is completed, which would typically occur at the closing of a transaction for financial advisory services and loan arrangement services and on trade date for securities underwriting services. These fees are generally collected shortly after the fee recognition date with no embedded financing costs due to the short term nature. Investment banking fees receivable are reported in Other assets on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Foreign currency - The Company's assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the Statement of Financial Condition date.

Current expected credit losses (CECL) - ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (\*ASC 326") requires the Company recognize the current expected credit losses on all third-party financial assets carried at amortized cost. The Company measures its current expected credit losses for the estimated life of the financial assets by incorporating historical experiences, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, which contain forward-looking information, such as forecasted macroeconomic conditions. In most cases, the Company applies a probability of default method whereby the current expected credit losses are calculated by multiplying the exposures by the probability of default (probability the asset will default during the lifetime) and the loss given default (percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default).

The Company's third-party financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 include mainly cash, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, customer receivables, collateralized financing transactions (i.e. securities borrowed, and securities purchased under agreement to resell transactions) and other receivables.

{12}------------------------------------------------

#### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2022

#### 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

These financial assets are generally short-term in nature and the counterparties to the Company consist primarily of clearing organizations, broker-dealers, and large money center banks that are subject to regulatory reserves, liquidity, and capital adequacy requirements.

Additionally, the collateralized financing transactions are subject to collateral-maintenance provisions whereby the borrowers are required and expected to continually adjust the amount of collateral securing the financial assets. The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, a method that compares the amortized cost basis with the fair value of collateral to measure the current expected credit losses for such financial assets.

Based on the composition of financial assets, the Company determined that there are no significant expected credit losses on financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 at December 31, 2022.

Income taxes - The Company is a single member limited liability company that is disregarded for federal, state, and local income tax purposes. As such, for U.S. tax purposes, the activities of the Company are reported as part of SG's U.S. tax filings. No tax allocations were made from SG to the Company.

Reference rate reform - The Company applies certain reference rate reform accounting provisions contained in ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Scope and ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of ASC 848 when modifying contracts in scope of the provisions. These accounting provisions provide optional, temporary relief to ease the burden of accounting for reference rate reform activities that affect contractual modifications of floating rate financial instruments indexed to interbank offering rates (IBORs) and hedge accounting relationships. Modifications of qualifying contracts are accounted for as the continuation of an existing contract rather than as a new contract.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements - In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of ASC 848 ("ASU No. 2022-06"). The amendments in this ASU defer the sunset date of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in ASC 848. ASU No. 2022-06 is effective for the Company immediately upon issuance. The adoption of ASU No. 2022-06 did not have a material impact on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition.

Accounting Developments - In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU No. 2022-03"). The amendments in this ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this ASU also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: 1. The fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions 2. The nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s) 3. The circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). ASU No. 2022-03 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption of

OTC derivative contracts: OTC derivative contracts include equity derivative contracts entered into by the Company to economically hedge its exposure to certain deferred compensation liabilities, interest rate swaps, foreign exchange swaps and forward contracts. These contracts are generally valued using observable inputs.

· Securities received as collateral from non-cash securities loaned - Securities received as collateral from non-cash securities loaned transactions are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the underlying securities received in the transaction. At December 31, 2022, securities received consisted primarily of exchange traded equities and U.S. Treasury securities.

#### 9. OFFSETTING

The Company enters into derivatives transactions, securities purchase agreement to resell, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions. The Company executes these transactions to facilitate customer match-book activity, cover short positions and to fund Company's trading inventory. The Company manages credit exposure from certain transactions by entering into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties. The relevant agreements allow for the efficient closeout of transactions, liquidation and set-off of collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty following a default. The Company does not net the amounts eligible for offsetting upon counterparty default related to these financial instruments in the Statement of Financial Condition. In certain cases, the Company may agree for collateral to be posted to a third-party custodian under a tri-party arrangement that enables the Company to take control of such collateral in the event of a counterparty default. Default events generally include, among other things, failure to pay or insolvency or bankruptcy of a counterparty.

#### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2022

#### 17. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES (CONTINUED)

The Company applies the provisions of the FASB ASC 460 - Guarantees which provides accounting and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees. FASB ASC 460 - Guarantees requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. However, the Company is not party to such guarantees.

#### 18. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

As a registered broker dealer and futures commission merchant, the Company is subject to the minimum financial requirements of the SEC and the CFTC. Under these requirements, SGAS must maintain minimum net capital, as defined by the SEC and CFTC. The Company has elected to compute its net capital requirements under the alternative method permitted by this Rule which requires that the Company maintain net capital equal to the greater of 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions or \$1.5 million. The Company is also subject to minimum financial requirements pursuant to CFTC regulations. Under the CFTC requirements, SGAS is required to maintain adjusted net capital equal to the greater of \$20.0 million or the sum of 8% of the customer risk maintenance margin requirements and 8% of the noncustomer risk maintenance margin requirements, as defined. The Company's net capital requirement is the greater of the SEC or the CFTC requirement. At December 31, 2022, the Company used the CFTC requirement.

The Company is not permitted to pay dividends or repay subordinated debt if net capital after such payments or repayments would be less than 5% of aggregate debit items (\$72.5 million).

At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$5,089.5 million, which was \$3,042.2 million in excess of the net capital requirement of \$2,047.2 million.

Pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC, the Company may be required to deposit in a Special Reserve Bank Account, cash or acceptable equivalents for the exclusive benefit of customers. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a customer reserve requirement of \$466.4 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately \$796.6 million included within the Statement of Financial Condition as Cash and investments segregated on deposit for regulatory purposes.

As a clearing broker-dealer, SGAS computes a reserve requirement for PAB accounts. This calculation is completed for each correspondent firm that uses the Company as its clearing brokerdealer to classify its assets held at SGAS as allowable assets in the correspondent's net capital computation. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a PAB reserve requirement of \$19.0 million at December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately \$42.0 million included within the Statement of Financial Condition as Cash and investments segregated on deposit for regulatory purposes.

As a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant that clears customer accounts, SGAS is subject to the customer protection requirements of the SEC ("Reserve") and the segregation, secured and cleared swaps customer requirements outlined by the CFTC . Under these requirements, the Company must compute its customer requirements in each of these separate categories and ensure that amounts are set aside to cover these obligations. Pursuant to calculations as of December 31, 2022, SGAS has excess Reserve funds of \$317.2 million which includes a \$13.0 million withdrawal made on January 4, 2023; excess segregated funds of \$433.3 million, excess secured funds of \$388.7 million, and excess cleared swap customer funds of \$222.0 million.
