### Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition

December 31, 2021 *(In Thousands of US dollars)* 

#### **1. Organization**

BTG Pactual US Capital, LLC (the "Company") is incorporated in Delaware. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and co=enced operations in the capacity of a broker-dealer on December 14, 2009. The Company is also a registered introducing broker with the Co=odity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and is a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA"). The life of the Company is perpetual.

The Company has its main office in New York and acts as an agent for customers in the purchase and sale of U.S. and non-U.S. securities. The Company clears its agency U.S. securities through Pershing LLC and proprietary U.S. securities through Citigroup Global Markets Limited. With respect to non-U.S. securities, the Company primarily uses the services of an affiliated company, Banco BTG Pactual S.A., to clear transactions in Brazil, and Citigroup Global Markets Limited or foreign affiliates to clear transactions in other Latiu American couutries. This is facilitated through a chaperoning agreement (Rule l 5a-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Company also settles securities on a Delivery Versus Payment ("DVP")/Receipt Versus Payment ("RVP") basis in order to provide its customers with more efficient settlement. The settlement of non-U.S. trades on a DVP/RVP basis eliminates an additional step in the transaction process, since a U.S. clearing broker would utilize the services of a local broker-dealer to assist in settlement, which the Company is able to do itself through the facilities of its affiliates.

In addition to its brokerage activities, the Company also provides capital market services, either in the capacity of an uuderwriter or a placement agent, as well as financial advisory services in mergers and acquisitions.

The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to subparagraphs (k)(2)(i) and (k)(2)(ii) uuder the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company does not hold customer funds or securities. The Company qualifies for an exemption from the Rule 15c3-3 reserve calculation in accordance with paragraph k(2)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by maintaining a special reserve bank accouut for the exclusive benefit of customers.

### **1. Organization (continued)**

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. As of the date of the Financial Statements, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on global and U.S. financial markets, and the Company continues to monitor its effects on the overall economy and its operations. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has enhanced its policies, procedures and operations to protect the integrity and continuity of its business and the health and safety of employees. Management is continuously monitoring the situation.

### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

### **Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates**

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). This 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Financial instruments, which are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less at date of acquisition, are considered cash equivalents. Cash on deposit with financial institutions may, at times, exceed federal insurance limits. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in money market funds.

The fair value of cash invested in money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities and thus classified as Level 1 within U.S. GAAP's fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of money market fund investments totaled \$38,517, all of which was held by an affiliate of the Company.

#### **Cash Segregated Under Federal and Other Regulations**

Cash segregated under federal and other regulations is segregated for the protection of customers under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company maintains a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers.

# Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

### *(In Thousands of US dollars)*

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

#### **Securities Owned, at Fair Value**

The fair values of securities owned are generally based on listed market prices. If listed market prices are not available, fair value is detennined based on other relevant factors, including broker or dealer price quotations and theoretical pricing models, as well as Net Asset Value for non-public investment funds.

FASB's ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, as defined. All of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are either valued at market or estimated fair value, or because of their short-term nature, approximate fair value. The Company's financial instruments consist substantially of Cash and cash equivalents, securities owned, and securities sold, but not yet purchased which are all classified as Level I within U.S. GAAP's fair value hierarchy.

As of December 31, 2021, securities owned are comprised of exchange-traded equities, in respect of which the fair values are detennined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities and thus classified as Level I within U.S. GAAP's fair value hierarchy. During the year, there were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels.

### **Foreign Currencies**

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the applicable year end exchange rate.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company's exposure to foreign currencies (primarily Brazilian Real, Canadian dollar and Euro) was as follows:

| Assets:                                             |        |
|-----------------------------------------------------|--------|
| Cash and cash equivalents                           | \$ 544 |
| Due from brokers, clearing organizations and others | 67     |
| Due from affiliates, net                            | 118    |

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

#### **Due from/to Brokers, Clearing Organizations and Others**

Due from brokers, clearing organizations and others include amounts receivable for fails to deliver, amounts receivable from clearing organizations relating to open transactions, good faith and margin deposits, and commissions receivable from broker-dealers. The balance also includes receivables from customers as it relates to customer fails to deliver, and commissions earned.

Due to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and others include amounts payable for fails to receive and amounts payable to clearing organizations relating to open transactions. The amounts receivable and payable from clearing organizations relating to open transactions are reported on a net basis. The balance also includes payables to customers as it relates to customer fails to receive.

As of December 31, 2021, amounts receivable and payable to brokers, clearing organizations and others include:

|                                       | Receivables | Payables |
|---------------------------------------|-------------|----------|
| Securities failed to deliver/ receive | \$3,180     | \$4,972  |
| Customer failed to deliver / receive  | 2,065       | 274      |
| Clearing organizations                | 103,894     | 620      |
| Total                                 | \$109,139   | \$5,866  |

#### **Allowance for Credit Losses**

ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), impacts the impairment model for certain financial instruments by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under ASC 326, the Company could determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g. based on the credit quality of the client).

For financial assets measured at amortized cost ( e.g. cash and cash equivalents, cash segregated under federal and other regulations, receivables from broker-dealers, clearing organizations and

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

## Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

## *(In Thousands of US dollars)*

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

others and other assets (forgivable loans to employees and other receivables), the Company has evaluated the expected credit loss based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets, credit quality of the counterparty and immaterial historic and expected losses. The Company concluded that there are de minimis expected credit losses and did not record a reserve for the cash and cash equivalents, cash segregated under federal and other regulations or receivables from broker-dealer, clearing organizations and others and other receivables.

### **Income Taxes**

The Company is a single member LLC, disregarded as a separate entity for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company is not required to present its allocated portion of the consolidated amounts for current and deferred tax expenses, applicable to its tax attributes, included in the consolidated tax returns ofBTG Pactual NY Corporation (the "Parent") however as permitted by ASC 7 40-10-50-17 A the Company has elected to include such allocations in its separately issued financial statements.

As such, the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit presented in these financial statements represents an allocation from Parent, and the corresponding income tax payable ( or receivable) is presented as a due to (or from) affiliates. (See Note 5).

Under the allocation method applied by the Company, net operating losses ( or other current or deferred tax attributes) are characterized as realized ( or realizable) by the disregarded entity when those tax attributes are realized ( or realizable) by the Parent, even if the Company would not otherwise have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis.

In connection with the commissions earned on Brazilian stock trades and underwriting activities, the Company is subject to Brazilian withholding tax. As the withholding is considered a flat tax on such income, it represents a foreign tax expense that is recognized when the corresponding income is earned and is presented as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

Income taxes are accounted for under F ASB gnidance, ASC 7 40, Accounting for Income Taxes, using 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be recognized, a valuation allowance would be established to offset their benefit.

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

## Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

### *(In Thousands of US dollars)*

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

All available evidence, both positive and negative, shall be considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed.

ASC 740 also provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken to determine whether the tax positions are ''more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.

A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.

Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. When applicable, the Parent accounts for interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

#### **3. Regulatory Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule ("SEC Rule 15c3-I" or the "Rule") and the Commodity Futures Trading CommissioD minimum financial requirements of net capital, pursuant to Regulation 1.17.

The Company has elected to use the alternative method, permitted by the Rule, which requires that it maintain minimum net capital, as defined by the SEC and FINRA. The Rule requires the Company to maintain a mioimnm net capital greater than \$250. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of \$80,336 which \$80,086 was in excess of the minimum net capital required.

The Company maintains a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. As of December 31, 2021, the account had a balance of\$500.

The Company is also subject to the net capital requirements of the CFTC Regulation 1.17 and requirements of the National Futures Association ("NF A"), which requires that the Company maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to or in excess of the greater of \$45 ("NF A") or \$250 ("SEC").

The Company clears and settles its U.S. equity securities and certain other of its securities trades on a fully disclosed correspondent clearing basis with its clearing brokers, who have responsibility for recordkeeping and sending confirmations and statements to customers on behalf of the Company.

{13}------------------------------------------------

### **3. Regulatory Requirements**

The Company is not required under SEC Rule 15c3-1 to record failed trades on its financial statements or take capital charges for aged failed trades related to this activity.

The Company refers orders for foreign securities to its foreign affiliates under chaperoning agreements consistent with Rule 15a-6. In accordance with the no-action letter dated April 9, 1997 interpreting SEC Rule l 5a-6, clearance and settlement occur through the direct transfer of funds and securities between the customer or its custodian and the foreign affiliates. Trades are settled on a DVP/RVP basis with no customer securities or funds being held by the Company. However as required by Rule l 5a-6( a)(3), the Company records the contract values of the failed trades in its financial statements and, in the case of aged failed trades, the Company takes an appropriate capital charge as per Rule 15c3-l(C)(2)(ix).

### 7. **Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Transactions with Customers**

ASC 460, Guarantees, provides accounting and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees. In the normal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution and clearance of customer securities transactions through clearing brokers. Securities transactions are subject to credit risk of counterparties or customer non-performance.

Pursuant to the clearing agreements, the Company has agreed to reimburse its clearing brokers without limit for any losses that the clearing brokers may incur 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 the settlement date. Due to the settlement of these transactions, there were no amounts to be indenmified to clearing brokers for these customer accounts as ofDecember 31, 2021.

## Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

### **8. Related Party Transactions**

On August 3, 2016, BTG Pactual Holding Internacional S.A. executed a guarantee agreement in favor of and for the benefit of the Company, whereby BTG Pactual Holding Internacional S.A., unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment of the Company's present or future obligations to its clients, as and when they fall due. The guarantee has no expiry date.

### **9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities**

The highly regulated nature of the Company's business means that from time to time it is subject to regulatory inquiries and investigations.

The Company is currently the subject of some regulatory reviews and investigations by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Company has also been named as a defendant in some claims and/or lawsuits, including arbitrations, arising primarily from its securities business. It is the Company's practice to cooperate and comply with the requests for information and documents.

In some instances, these matters may result in a disciplinary, civil or administrative actions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself, but currently it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters or to provide an estimate of any potential financial impact.

In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its clearing brokers against specified potential losses in connection with its acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under this indenmification cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes it is unlikely it will have to make payments under these arrangements and, as such, has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for this indenmification. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into underwriting commitments. There were no transactions relating to such underwriting commitments that were open at December 31, 2021.

#### **10. Subsequent Events.**

The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 18, 2022, the issuance date of these financial statements, and noted no subsequent events requiring disclosures in or adjustments to the financial statements taken as a whole.
