Ernst & Young LLP One Manhattan West New York, NY 10001

#### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Member and Management of NFSTX, LLC

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of NFSTX, LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of income, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 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 information contained in Schedules I, II, and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the 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. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

## Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025

## 1. Nature of Business

NFSTX, LLC ("NFSTX" or the "Company"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq Fund Secondaries, LLC ("NFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq, Inc. ("Nasdaq"). NFSTX was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 23, 2014. The Company is a limited purpose broker-dealer, headquartered in New York. The Company operates an alternative trading system for certain registered fund transactions. The Company is also approved to provide limited broker services in the form of paying agent services for secondary transactions in limited partnership interests. The Company earns commissions on the trading volume or on a fixed fee basis, depending on the contract. The Company manages and operates their business as one reportable segment.

The Company is subject to regulation by the SEC, FINRA, the SROs and the various state securities regulators. The Company is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

## 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

## Basis of Presentation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), as codified in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

### Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures of contingent amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### Revenue Recognition

Substantially all our revenues are considered to be revenues from contracts with customers. The Company does not have obligations for warranties, returns or refunds to customers. For the contracts with our customers, our performance obligations are short-term in nature and there is no significant variable consideration. The Company does not have revenues recognized from performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods. The Company does not have any unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2025.

Transaction services revenue is generated when the Company provides the services described in footnote 1. Revenue is typically recognized on the settlement date for the customer transaction, 

{10}------------------------------------------------

which is the date that the Company determined that they met their identified performance obligations related to these transactions.

Interest income consists of interest earned on the Company's cash and is recognized on an accrual basis.

## Cash

The Company considers short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. The Company's cash is held by one financial institution in an interestbearing account which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of \$8,897,441.

### Cash Segregated Under Federal Regulations

Pursuant to the exemptive provisions of sub-paragraph (k)(2)(i) of SEC Rule 15c3-3, the Company is permitted to hold customer funds received in connection with privately negotiated securities transactions in anticipation of settlement. The Company holds customer funds in an account for the exclusive benefit of customers of NFSTX, LLC. At December 31, 2025, the Company did not hold any customer funds.

### Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable represents revenue earned from Customers and interest on the Company's interest bearing cash account. This revenue has been earned but not yet received.

### Income Taxes

The Company is a single-member limited liability company and is not subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company's operating results are included in the federal, state and local income tax returns filed by Nasdaq.

Nasdaq's Federal income tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2022 through 2024. Several state tax returns are currently under examination by the respective tax authorities for the years 2014 through 2024.

### 3. Related-Party Transactions

The Company has entered into a service agreement with affiliates whereby the affiliates provide services to the Company including the use of its employees and other assets. Included in Intragroup support costs on the Statement of Income are the expenses related to these support services, which were \$3,376,791 for the year ended December 31, 2025.

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

At December 31, 2025, \$1,532,359 was recorded in Payable to Nasdaq, Inc. All affiliates are ultimately wholly-owned by Nasdaq. It is the intent and ability of management to settle all intercompany balances between Nasdaq and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, on a net basis, as Nasdaq serves as the master financing entity for all wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, all intercompany transactions are guaranteed by Nasdaq and are settled in accordance with the Nasdaq's intercompany settlement policy. In 2025, the Company paid \$2,997,415 to Nasdaq to settle intercompany balances. The Company records all transactions to and from affiliates subject to the netting arrangement into a single account.

## 4. Net Capital Requirements and Exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3

The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the SEC and, accordingly, is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1(a)(1)(ii). The Company calculates its excess net capital using the alternate standard. At December 31, 2025, the Company's net capital was \$7,365,082 which was \$7,115,082 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$250,000.

The Company is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to the exemptive provisions under subparagraph (k)(2)(i). The Company does not hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities. The Company is permitted to hold customer funds received in connection with privately negotiated securities transactions in anticipation of settlement. The Company maintains a "Special Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers of NFSTX, LLC" for such customer funds received.

Advances to affiliates, dividend payments and other equity withdrawals are subject to certain notification and other requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-1 and other regulatory bodies.

## 5. Commitments and Contingencies

## General Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company may be subject to claims as well as reviews by self-regulatory agencies arising out of the conduct of its business.

Management is not aware of any unasserted claims or assessments that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position and the results of operations of the Company.

### Risks and Uncertainties

Cash is held by one financial institution. In the event that the financial institution is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Company would be subject to credit risk. Bankruptcy or insolvency may cause the Company's rights with respect to the cash held to be delayed or limited.

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

## 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. The carrying amounts reported on the Statement of Financial Condition for Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Prepaid expenses approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these assets. The Company's liabilities included in the Company's Statement of Financial Condition which include Payable to Nasdaq, Inc., are reported at their contractual amounts, which approximate fair value.

## 7. Segments

The Company manages, allocates resources, and operates and provides our products and services as one reportable business segment. The Company evaluates the performance of the business segment based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is net income. The Company has determined that our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. The Company considers the total expenses of \$3,554,143 to be significant. All of our products and services are offered in the United States.

For 2025, the Company had three customers who's transaction revenues totaling \$1.5 million, \$1.0 million and \$0.5 million, all of which exceeded 10% of our total transaction revenues reported.

## 8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March 17, 2026, the date as of which these financial statements are available to be issued, and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require disclosure in the financial statements or accompanying notes.

### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Member and Management of NFSTX, LLC

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of NFSTX, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, 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, 2025, 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 the accounting 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 2016.

## Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition

December 31, 2025

## 1. Nature of Business

NFSTX, LLC ("NFSTX" or the "Company"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq Fund Secondaries, LLC ("NFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq, Inc. ("Nasdaq"). NFSTX was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 23, 2014. The Company is a limited purpose broker-dealer, headquartered in New York. The Company's primary business is providing limited broker services in the form of paying agent services for secondary transactions in limited partnership interests. The Company is approved to operate an alternative trading system for certain registered fund transactions. The Company manages and operates their business as one reportable segment.

The Company is subject to regulation by the SEC, FINRA, the SROs and the various state securities regulators. The Company is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

## 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

## Basis of Presentation

The statement of financial condition is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), as codified in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's statement of financial condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures of contingent amounts in the statement of financial condition and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

{24}------------------------------------------------

## Cash

The Company considers short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. The Company's cash is held by one financial institution in an interestbearing account which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of \$8,897,441.

## Cash Segregated Under Federal Regulations

Pursuant to the exemptive provisions of sub-paragraph (k)(2)(i) of SEC Rule 15c3-3, the Company is permitted to hold customer funds received in connection with privately negotiated securities transactions in anticipation of settlement. The Company holds customer funds in an account for the exclusive benefit of customers of NFSTX, LLC. At December 31, 2025, the Company did not hold any customer funds.

## Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable represents revenue earned from Customers and interest on the Company's interest bearing cash account. This revenue has been earned but not yet received.

## Income Taxes

The Company is a single-member limited liability company and is not subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company's operating results are included in the federal, state and local income tax returns filed by Nasdaq.

Nasdaq's Federal income tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2022 through 2024. Several state tax returns are currently under examination by the respective tax authorities for the years 2014 through 2024.

## 3. Related-Party Transactions

The Company has entered into a service agreement with affiliates whereby the affiliates provide services to the Company including the use of its employees and other assets.

{25}------------------------------------------------

At December 31, 2025, \$1,532,359 was recorded in Payable to Nasdaq, Inc. All affiliates are ultimately wholly-owned by Nasdaq. It is the intent and ability of management to settle all intercompany balances between Nasdaq and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, on a net basis, as Nasdaq serves as the master financing entity for all wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, all intercompany transactions are guaranteed by Nasdaq and are settled in accordance with the Nasdaq's intercompany settlement policy. In 2025, the Company paid \$2,997,415 to Nasdaq to settle intercompany balances. The Company records all transactions to and from affiliates subject to the netting arrangement into a single account.

## 4. Net Capital Requirements and Exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3

The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the SEC and, accordingly, is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1(a)(1)(ii). The Company calculates its excess net capital using the alternate standard. At December 31, 2025, the Company's net capital was \$7,365,082 which was \$7,115,082 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$250,000.

The Company is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to the exemptive provisions under subparagraph (k)(2)(i). The Company does not hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities. The Company is permitted to hold customer funds received in connection with privately negotiated securities transactions in anticipation of settlement. The Company maintains a "Special Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers of NFSTX, LLC" for such customer funds received.

Advances to affiliates, dividend payments and other equity withdrawals are subject to certain notification and other requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-1 and other regulatory bodies.

## 5. Commitments and Contingencies

## General Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company may be subject to claims as well as reviews by self-regulatory agencies arising out of the conduct of its business.

Management is not aware of any unasserted claims or assessments that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position and the results of operations of the Company.

### Risks and Uncertainties

Cash is held by one financial institution. In the event that the financial institution is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Company would be subject to credit risk. Bankruptcy or insolvency may cause the Company's rights with respect to the cash held to be delayed or limited.

{26}------------------------------------------------

## 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. The carrying amounts reported on the Statement of Financial Condition for Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Prepaid expenses approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these assets. The Company's liabilities included in the Company's Statement of Financial Condition which include Payable to Nasdaq, Inc., are reported at their contractual amounts, which approximate fair value.

## 7. Segments

The Company manages, allocates resources, and operates and provides our products and services as one reportable business segment. The Company evaluates the performance of the business segment based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is net income. The Company has determined that our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

## 8. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March 17, 2026, the date as of which the statement of financial condition are available to be issued, and has determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require disclosure in the statement of financial condition or accompanying notes.

### **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Member and Management of NFSTX, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying NFSTX, LLC 15c3-3 Exemption Report in which (1) NFSTX, LLC (the Company) identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which the Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 (k):(2)(i), (the "exemption provisions") and (2) the Company stated that it met the identified exemption provisions in 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 (k) throughout the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 except as described in its Exemption report. Management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i), of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the member, management, the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, other regulatory agencies that rely on Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in their regulation of registered brokers and dealers, and other recipients specified by Rule 17a-5(d)(6) and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
