Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (In Thousands) December 31, 2023

### 1. Organization and Nature of Business

Marex Capital Markets Inc. ("the Company") is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Marex Services Inc. ("MSI" or "the Parent"). Prior to December 1, 2022, the Company was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of E D & F Man Holdings Ltd, a limited liability company incorporated in England. On December 1, 2022, the Capital Markets division of E D & F Man Holdings Ltd., of which the Company was a member, was acquired by Marex Group plc ("MG" or "the Ultimate Parent"), a limited liability company incorporated in England. Following the acquisition by the Ultimate Parent, the Company changed its name from E D & F Man Capital Markets Inc. to Marex Capital Markets Inc. and changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.

On June 12, 2023, the Company acquired the membership interests of Marex North America LLC ("MNA"), an affiliated company indirectly owned by the Ultimate Parent, in a non-cash transaction at a value of \$9,224. On December 22, 2023, the membership interests of MNA were transferred to MSI, in a non-cash transaction at the Company's then carrying value of \$14,921.

The Company operates as a broker and a dealer in U.S. treasury, government agency and other fixed income securities. The Company also executes and clears commodity futures, fixed income, FX, equity, and equity option transactions for the accounts of its customers and operates as a broker in listed and over-the-counter derivative contracts.

The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and as a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and is approved as a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the National Futures Association ("NFA"). The Company is a clearing member of the principal U.S. futures exchanges and the Government Securities and Mortgage Backed Securities Divisions of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("FICC"). Additionally, the Company is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").

### 2. Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Accounting

The Company maintains its financial records in U.S. dollars. The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

#### Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statements. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements and the accompanying notes are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates

{7}------------------------------------------------

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (In Thousands) December 31, 2023

## 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

## Cash and Cash and Securities Segregated under Federal and Other Regulations

At December 31, 2023, cash and securities segregated under federal and other regulations on the statement of financial condition consisted solely of cash. The Company's cash balances are held with nationally recognized financial institutions, and exceed the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in cash accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk on cash.

#### Trading Assets and Liabilities

Trading assets and liabilities and related gains and losses are recorded on a trade date basis.

#### Fair Value Measurements

The Company's financial instruments are reported at fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). The estimated fair value of trading assets and liabilities are generally based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Certain other financial instruments are not carried at fair value but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and cash and securities segregated under Federal and other regulations or amounts deposited with broker-dealers and clearing organizations and would generally be presented within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, receivables from customers, receivables from affiliates, payables to brokers and dealers, payables to customers and payables to affiliates, are not carried at fair value; however, the recorded amounts approximate fair value due to their liquid or short term nature.

### Collateralized Financing Transactions

The Company's collateralized financing transactions include securities purchased under agreements to resell (resale agreements), securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) and securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions.

Resale and repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions where the Company has an agreement to sell (or purchase) the same or substantially the same securities before maturity at a fixed or determinable price. It is the policy of the Company to take possession of securities collateralizing resale agreements at the time such agreements are made. In the same manner, the Company provides securities to counterparties in order to collateralize repurchase agreements. These agreements are collateralized primarily by U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, with a fair value equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned.

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

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (In Thousands) December 31, 2023

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

The market value of the underlying collateral is reviewed daily, and additional cash or other collateral is obtained or returned as necessary. The Company records resale and repurchase agreements at contract price, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had obtained securities as collateral under resale agreements that could be repledged, delivered, or otherwise transferred, with a fair value of \$20,572,387. The firm has \$175,324 pledged to a clearing organization to meet margin requirements.

Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions in equity and corporate debt securities are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced plus accrued interest. Securities borrowed transactions facilitate the settlement process and require the Company to deposit cash or other collateral with the lenders. The Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and securities loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded as necessary. Substantially all of these securities have been repledged, delivered, or otherwise transferred, either as collateral under repurchase agreements or to satisfy the settlement of trading obligations of the Company and its clearing customers.

The Company nets certain repurchase agreements and resale agreements with the same counterparty on the statement of financial condition when the requirements of ASC 210-20, Balance Sheet - Offsetting, are met, including the existence of master netting agreements between the Company and its counterparties.

#### Translation of Foreign Currencies

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the statement of financial condition date.

#### Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the value assigned to the net assets, including identifiable intangible assets, of a business acquired. Goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated annually for impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

#### Memberships and Stock in Exchanges Owned

Memberships and stock in exchanges include trading rights and publicly traded shares of exchange stock, some of which is required to be held for membership privileges. Memberships in exchanges and stock in clearing organizations are carried at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment. Memberships and stock in exchanges not held for membership privileges are carried at market value.

#### 6. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques, based on their observability in the market. The use of observable inputs is maximized while the use of unobservable inputs is minimized as ASC 820 requires that the most observable inputs be used when available. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows, with Level 1 representing the highest priority inputs and Level 3 representing the lowest priority inputs:

Level 1 - Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted markets in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Examples include highly liquid U.S. government securities, equity securities and listed options.

Level 2 - Assets and liabilities whose values are based on observable inputs, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual or redemption) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term (contractual life) of the asset or liability. Examples include U.S. government agency and corporate securities.

Level 3 - Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. Unobservable inputs are based on the reporting entity's own assumptions that other market participants would consider (including assumptions about risk) under the best information available in the circumstances. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as Level 3 if the unobservable inputs have more than an insignificant impact on the fair value measurement of an instrument.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. 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 in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

U.S. government, equity securities and exchange traded options are valued using quoted market prices. These securities are generally traded in active markets and therefore are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

On July 17, 2023, the Company acquired the customer assets and liabilities and related business assets of an affiliate, MNA, a Delaware limited liability company. MNA was a registered futures commission merchant and engaged in a business which comprised the execution and clearing of listed derivative transactions on designated contract markets and the provision of trade clearing services to institutional and retail market participants and affiliates. As this was a transfer of assets and liabilities between related entities under common control of the Ultimate Parent, the assets were acquired at carrying value. As part of the transfer, the Company paid \$6,204 to acquire intangible assets (customer relationships).

#### Acquisition of Cowen's Prime Services and Outsourced Trading

On December 1, 2023, the Company acquired the clients, certain staff and selected assets of the prime services and outsourced trading business of Cowen and Co LLC ("Cowen"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company paid \$32,315 to acquire net assets of \$24,714 and goodwill and intangible assets of \$7,601.

The accounting for the acquisition of certain assets of Cowen has only been provisionally determined at the end of the reporting period. As of the date of finalization of these financial statements, the necessary market valuations and other calculations have not been finalized.

#### 9. Liabilities Subordinated to Claims of General Creditors

At December 31, 2023, liabilities subordinated to the claims of general creditors consisted of subordinated borrowings carried at contracted amounts, which approximate fair value. These borrowings are subordinated to the claims of general creditors, are covered by agreements approved by FINRA, and are included by the Company for the purposes of computing net capital under the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule. To the extent that these borrowings are required for the Company's continued compliance with minimum net capital requirements, they may not be repaid.

On September 28, 2012, MSI provided a subordinated note payable to the Company of \$20,000, with a maturity date of September 28, 2025. The interest rate, which resets periodically, is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 450 basis points.

On April 22, 2022, MSI provided a subordinated note payable to the Company of \$20,000, with a maturity date of April 22, 2025. The interest rate, which resets periodically, is based on SOFR plus 450 basis points.

On March 24, 2023, MSI provided a subordinated note payable to the Company of \$55,000, with a maturity date of March 24, 2026. The interest rate, which resets periodically, is based on SOFR plus 450 basis points.

Lastly, on July 14, 2023, MSI provided a subordinated note payable to the Company of \$250,000, with a maturity date of July 14, 2026. The interest rate, which resets periodically, is based on SOFR plus 450 basis points.

#### 10. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Guarantees

In accordance with its clearing agreements, the Company may be required to indemnify its clearing brokers against specified potential losses, if any, arising from the provision of clearing services to the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under this indemnification cannot be estimated. The Company, however, 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 indemnification.

The Company is a member of certain clearing organizations and exchanges. As a member, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of the financial obligations of a defaulting member of the clearing organizations or exchanges. While the rules governing different exchange memberships vary, in general, the Company's guarantee obligations would arise only if the exchange had previously exhausted its own resources. In addition, any such guarantee obligations would be apportioned among the other non-defaulting members of the exchange. Any potential contingent liability under these membership agreements cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these guarantees, and management believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these guarantees is remote.
