We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of PNFP Capital Markets, Inc. as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of income, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the "financial statements" ). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PNFP Capital Markets, Inc. as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of PNFP Capital Markets, lnc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on PNFP Capital Markets, lnc.'s financial statements based on our audit.

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.

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

#### **1. Organization**

PNFP Capital Markets, Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Bank ("Parent" or "Stockholder"), incorporated in Tennessee in February 2015. The Company is a securities broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), since October 2015.

The Company's primary business is investment banking services. In April of 2023, the Company received FINRA approval to expand its business to include corporate securities underwriting. It operates under the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to 15c3-3 (k2)(ii) (the "exemption provisions ") and of the 2013 Release adopting amendments to Rule 17a-5, including Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release. The Company does not hold funds or securities for customers and does not carry customer accounts.

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

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all cash and money market instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its bank account in a high credit quality institution. Deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits.

#### **Receivables and Deposits from Clearing Broker**

The Company has entered into a clearing agreement with Hilltop Securities Inc. (the 'Clearing Broker'), which clears all of the Company's securities transactions. The Company is required to maintain a deposit in cash or securities, and this deposit is refundable if, and when, the Company ceases doing business with the Clearing Broker.

#### **Allocation of Expenses**

The Company entered into an expense-sharing agreement with its Parent in 2015. In accordance with that agreement, certain expenses relating to the personnel, general and administrative expenses and the shared facility in Nashville, Tennessee are allocated to the Company from its Parent. The allocation method is consistent with the business goals and objectives of the entities, and all expenses are allocated on a reasonable basis (one that attempts to equate the proportional cost of a service or product to the proportional use of or benefit derived from the service or product). Allocations are re-evaluated in the event there are significant changes to the expenses at any time during the year. See Note 3.

#### **Income Taxes**

The Company entered into a tax-sharing agreement with Parent effective January 1, 2016. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Company is a member of the affiliated group. The allocation of taxes is based on each individual member's taxable income (loss), credits to tax and benefit of a deduction to the member who provided such deduction to the consolidated return. If the member incurs a tax loss that it cannot carry-back on a separate taxpayer basis, but may use as a carry-forward , and the tax loss is used to reduce the current consolidated liability, the member must record a current tax benefit and either receive payment from its Parent or offset payables owed to its Parent.

{9}------------------------------------------------

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

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, resulting in a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP (FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606).

The standard's core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 prescribes a five-step process to accomplish this core principle, including:

- Identification of the contract with the customer;
- Identification of the performance obligation(s) under the contract;
- Determination of transaction price;
- Allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligation(s); and
- Recognition of revenue as (or when) an entity satisfies the identified performance obligation(s).

The Company earns revenue from the following advisory services: Merger & Acquisition; Private Placement of Debt & Equity; Underwriter or selling group participant (corporate securities)- firm commitment offering; and Other Advisory & Consulting. The Company recognizes revenue for these advisory services as follows:

Merger and Acquisition Advisory: Revenue is based on the scope of work outlined in the engagement letter and generally includes a success fee based on a percentage of the transaction price and/or a retainer fee. Success fee revenue is recognized when the scope of work is completed , normally at the closing of the transaction. Retainer fee revenue is recognized as the scope of work is completed , normally at the transfer of services.

Private Placements of Debt and Equity: Revenue is based on the scope of work outlined in the engagement letter and generally includes a success fee based on a percentage of the transaction amount and/or a retainer fee. Success fee revenue is recognized when the scope of work is completed normally at the closing of the transaction. Retainer fee revenue is recognized as the scope of work is completed , normally at the transfer of services.

Underwriting or selling group offerings: primarily consists of fees earned from managing public securities offerings, including initial public offerings. These fees are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied , which generally occurs on the trade date of the offering, when the underwriting agreement becomes legally binding and the Company has performed its underwriting services.

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

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

#### **Revenue Recognition (continued)**

Other Advisory and Consulting: Revenue is based on the scope of work outlined in the engagement letter and is generally structured as an engagement fee or retainer fee. Engagement or retainer fee revenue is recognized as the scope of work is completed.

Revenue from all services is recognized as outlined above and in accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy.

#### **Accounts Receivable**

Accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each client.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all delinquent accounts receivable balances and, based on an assessment of current credit worthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Generally, customer receivables are believed to be fully collectible.

#### **Goodwill and intangible assets**

The goodwill and intangible assets recognized in the Company's financial statements arose from the acquisition of certain assets of a business providing merger and acquisition and capitalization advisory services. The asset purchase occurred on November 18, 2024, for a cash consideration of \$2,500,000. The acquisition facilitates the transition of key business employees, along with their accumulated industry knowledge, expertise, contacts, and reputation in the mergers and acquisitions industry. Intangible assets primarily consist of a customer contract list and identifiable customer relationships. Goodwill primarily reflects:

- **Industry Knowledge and Expertise:** The specialized knowledge and know-how of the transitioning employees in the broker-dealer industry.
- **Professional Contacts and Networks:** Established relationships and networks within the industry that are expected to enhance future business opportunities.
- **Reputation and Status:** The strong reputation and standing of the transitioning employees, which is anticipated to contribute to the Company's competitive positioning and client acquisition capabilities.

Further breakdown of Goodwill and intangible assets can be found on Note 7. Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential reduction in its fair value. As of December 31, 2024, no impairment indicators were identified.

#### **Segment Reporting**

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-7, Disclosure of Financial Information for a Single Segment Entity. Under this guidance, the Company is required to disclose specific financial information for its single reportable segment.

The Company operates as a single reportable segment, focusing on broker dealer activities, mainly investment banking. All material financial information, including revenue, expenses, and assets, is reviewed and managed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

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

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

### **Segment Reporting (continued)**

As a result of operating as a single segment entity, the Company's financial statements reflect its overall performance without disaggregation into multiple segments.

### **Date of Management's Review**

Subsequent events were evaluated through February 25, 2025, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

### **3. Related Party Transactions**

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with its Parent. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays the Parent monthly for allocated expenses such as personnel services, occupancy and other administrative costs provided to the Company. Allocated expenses amounted to \$1 ,924,140 for the year ended December 31 , 2024. The Company also purchases insurance policies from a related party. As of December 31 , 2024, the prepaid balance for insurance purchased from the related party was \$143,199, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the statement of financial condition.

Also, in accordance with the tax sharing agreement, the Company either receives payments from its Parent for current tax benefits (refer to Note 4) or offsets payables owed to its Parent. As of December 31 , 2024, the Company had a net payable to Parent of \$314,114.

#### **4. Income Tax**

The Company does not have any material differences between the rate it provides for income taxes and the statutory rate.

The provision for income taxes benefit is composed of the following:

| Current |                 |
|---------|-----------------|
| Federal | \$<br>(238,918) |
| State   | (34,131<br>)    |
|         | \$<br>(273,049) |

#### **5. Net Capital**

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3- 1(a)(1)(ii)), which requires the net minimum net capital of \$250,000. The Company elected the net capital rule alternative standard and is no longer subject to the aggregate indebtedness standard of paragraph (a)(1 )(i) of Rule 15c3-1. As of December 31 , 2024, the Company had net capital of \$2,890,591 which was \$2,640,591 in excess of its required net capital of \$250,000.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of PNFP Capital Markets, Inc.:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) PNFP Capital Markets, Inc. (the Company) identified the following provision of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which the Company claimed the following exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: k(2)(ii), and (2) the Company stated that the Company met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company is also filing this Exemption Report because the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 are limited to private placements and investment advisory services (receiving transactionbased compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients). In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

PNFP Capital Markets, lnc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions 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 PNFP Capital Markets, lnc.'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)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34- 70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.

Management of the Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting you and SIPC in evaluating the Company's compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedures we performed and our associated findings are as follows:

- 1) Compared the listed assessment payments in Form SIPC-7 with respective cash disbursement records entries, noting no differences;
- 2) Compared the Total Revenue amounts reported on the Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part Ill for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2024, noting no differences;

- 5) Compared the amount of any overpayment applied to the current assessment with the Form SIPC-7 on which it was originally computed, noting no differences.

We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or a review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Company's Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
