In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. # Basis for Opinion The 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 of this financial statement 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 presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. February 27, 2025 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

("FINRA") and Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company is also a netting member of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation. CSHC US LLC ("CSUH"), an affiliate, is the sole member of the Company. Citadel Securities Group LP ("CSG"), an affiliate, is the manager of the Company. The Company's designated self-regulatory organization is FINRA. The Company engages in options order routing as well as trades U.S. government securities and equities with institutional and broker and dealer clients. As a result, the Company engages in transactions with Citadel Securities LLC ("CSEC"), an affiliated broker and dealer. Citadel Enterprise Americas LLC, Citadel Enterprise Americas Services LLC, Citadel Securities Americas Services LLC ("CSASC"), and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the "Citadel Parties"), provide administrative and investment-related services to the Company. Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services LLC ("NTHFS") is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Company. The services contract between the Company and NTHFS is currently effective through June 30, 2026. # NOTE 2 # Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). # Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statement in accordance with GAAP requires CSG to make estimates and assumptions, the most important of which relate to fair value measurements, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. # Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company defines cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial condition as cash and funds held in liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less as well as investments in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are held at global financial institutions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held money market funds of \$104 million, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial condition. ### Receivable from and Payable to Brokers, Dealers, and Clearing Organizations Receivable from and payable to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations may include cash balances and balances associated with securities failed to deliver or receive. # Commissions Receivable. Net Commissions receivable, net represents amounts receivable from customers for commissions and transaction fees (see Note 8). The balances are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of \$2 million. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company assesses the collectability of receivables from its customers and considers factors such as historical experience, credit guality, age of balances, and current economic conditions that may affect collectability. # Receivable from and Payable to Customers Receivable from and payable to customers represents amounts receivable or payable for securities failed to deliver or receive (see Note 5). # Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company has elected to offset financial assets and financial liabilities by counterparty when it has determined that there exists a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and when certain other criteria are met in accordance with applicable accounting guidance on offsetting. As a result, the net exposure to each counterparty is reported as either an asset or liability on the statement of financial condition, where applicable. # Seament Reporting Operating segments represent components of a company that engage in business activities and for which discrete financial information is available and reqularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM has been identified as the Chief Operating Officer functions for the Citadel Parties. The CODM reviews excess net capital as a key financial metric to guide operational decisions for the Company, including capital adequacy. The Company's business activities as described in Note 1 constitute a single operating segment and financial information is reviewed for the Company as a whole. Excess net capital (see Note 10) is measured in accordance with SEC Rule 15c3-1. # Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when the Company has relinquished control over the transferred assets. For transfers of financial assets that are not accounted for as sales, in which the transferor retains control of the financial assets, the financial assets remain on the statement of financial condition and the transfer is accounted for as a collateralized financing. Securities purchased under agreements to resell ("resale agreements") and securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") are treated as collateralized financings (see Note 3). Resale agreements and repurchase agreements held as of the reporting date are recorded on the statement of financial condition at their fair value pursuant to the fair value option, plus accrued interest. The Company has elected to report resale and repurchase agreements on a net basis when it has determined that there exists a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and when certain other criteria are met in accordance with applicable accounting quidance on offsetting. # Valuation of Financial Instruments The fair value of a Financial Instrument (as defined below) is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value is determined by CSG and represents CSG's best estimate of fair value. In all instances, any Financial Instrument may either be valued by CSG or CSG may determine (but is under no obligation to do so) to engage a third party it believes to be qualified to value any Financial Instrument. The Company measures and reports resale agreements, repurchase agreements, and money market funds (collectively, "Financial Instruments") at fair value. {9}------------------------------------------------ Fair value is generally based on or derived from (i) closing prices of an exchange market. (ii) prices or inputs (e.g., mean of the bid and offer price) disseminated by third parties, including membership organizations, pricing vendors, and market participants (e.g., brokers and counterparties) or (iii) valuation models using such prices or inputs. In the absence of market prices or inputs that are observable, other valuation techniques are applied. Financial Instruments are generally valued as of the market close (as determined by CSG). CSG may determine to use a different value than would be assigned pursuant to the foregoing if CSG determines that doing so would better reflect fair value (e.g., CSG may determine that market quotations do not represent fair value if trading is halted before market close or a significant event occurs subsequent to market close). These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment by CSG, the degree of which is dependent on, among other factors, the price observability and complexity of the Financial Instrument, and the liquidity of the market. The fair value determined may not necessarily reflect the amount which might ultimately be realized in an arm's length sale or liquidation of Financial Instruments and such differences may be material. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadiusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A Financial Instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. CSG's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the Financial Instrument. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: ### Basis of Fair Value Measurement - Level 1 Unadiusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; - Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both Level 3 significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. The following describes the valuation techniques applied to the Company's Financial Instruments to measure fair value, including an indication of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which each Financial Instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models and the significant inputs to those models. # Money Market Funds The Company holds money market funds which are redeemable daily. Money market funds are valued based on the reported net asset value and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. #### Resale Agreements and Repurchase Agreements Resale agreements and repurchase agreements are valued by discounting the expected future cash flows using inputs including interest rates and funding spreads, which are determined based on the specific characteristics of the agreements. Resale agreements and repurchase agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ### Fair Value Ontion The fair value option provides the Company the option to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in each period. The primary reason for electing the fair value option is to reflect current market conditions related to resale agreements and repurchase agreements in earnings on a timely basis. CSG has elected to apply the fair value option to the Company's resale agreements and repurchase agreements. #### Other Financial Instruments CSG estimates that the aggregate carrying value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost (including receivables and payables) recognized on the statement of financial condition, approximates fair value, as such financial instruments are short-term in nature, bear interest at current market rates or are subject to frequent repricing. These financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents; receivable from customers; receivable from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations; commissions receivable, net; other assets; payable to customers; payable to brokers and dealers; payable to affiliates; commissions, clearance, and regulatory fees payable; and other liabilities. Had these assets and liabilities been included in the fair value hierarchy, all would have been classified within Level 2 except for cash and cash equivalents which would have been classified within Level 1. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Expected credit losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions, collateralization, and forecasts that impact the collectability of the amount. As of December 31, 2024. based on the historical analysis and forward-looking information, the Company expects credit losses arising from such financial assets to be immaterial. # NOTE 3 # Collateralized Transactions The Company enters into resale agreements and repurchase agreements to, among other things, settle securities obligations. The Company attempts to manage credit exposure arising from resale agreements and repurchase agreements by entering into master netting agreements and credit support agreements with counterparties. In the event of a counterparty default (such as bankruptcy or a counterparty's failure to pay or perform), these agreements may provide the Company the right to terminate such agreements, net the Company's rights and obligations under such agreements, buy-in undelivered securities and liquidate and offset collateral against any net obligation remaining from the counterparty. As of December 31, 2024, all of the Company's resale and repurchase agreements were with CSEC, an affiliate. Resale and repurchase agreements are collateralized primarily by receiving or pledging U.S. government securities. Typically, the Company has rights of rehypothecation with respect to the securities collateral received under resale agreements. Also, CSEC generally has rights of rehypothecation with respect to the securities collateral received from the Company under repurchase agreements. As of December 31, 2024, substantially all securities collateral received under resale agreements has been delivered. The Company monitors the fair value of underlying securities in comparison to the related payable, including accrued interest, and as necessary, transfers or requests additional collateral as provided under the applicable agreement to ensure transactions are adequately collateralized. {10}------------------------------------------------ The following table presents information about resale agreements and repurchase agreements # AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 | (\$ in millions) | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|---|----| | Fair value of securities collateral received for resale

These guarantees may be unconditional guarantees without a specific term. In certain instances, the guarantees may be terminated by CSUH with respect to prospective obligations upon prior notice to the counterparty. The Company participates in a variety of operating and administrative transactions with related parties and affiliates. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among unrelated parties and such differences could be material. # NOTE 5 # Receivable from and Payable to Customers Amounts receivable from and payable to customers at December 31, 2024, consist of the following: | (\$ in millions) | Receivables Payables | | | | |-----------------------------------------|----------------------|--------|--|-----| | Securities failed to deliver/receive | ಕ | 191 \$ | | 128 | | Receivable/payable from/to customers \$ | | 191 \$ | | 128 | # NOTE 6 # Risk Management The Company is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk. CSG seeks to monitor and manage these risks on an ongoing basis. # Market Risk Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of Financial Instruments and the securities collateral pledged and/or received under repurchase agreements and resale agreements. Categories of market risk include, but are not limited to, exposures to equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices, credit prices, and currency prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity of the markets in which the financial instruments are traded. CSG seeks to manage market risk in various ways, including through diversifying exposures and quidelines on position sizes. The ability to manage market risk may be constrained by changes in liguidity conditions and fast changes in the relative prices and volatilities. # Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Risks may arise associated with the Company's transactions with counterparties as a result of nonperformance by the counterparties. The Company's customer activities involve the execution and settlement of securities transactions, which may expose the Company to credit risk. Customer activities are transacted on a delivery versus payment or cash basis. For these transactions, the Company is exposed to the risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by a customer or broker. In the event that a customer or broker fails to perform, the Company may be required to execute the transaction at current market prices. The Company does not extend credit to customers through margin accounts. The Company's credit exposure to institutional customers is mitigated by the use of industry-standard delivery versus payment through depositories and clearing banks. The Company seeks to reduce its exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance in financing arrangements by entering into master netting agreements and collateral posting with counterparties. These master netting agreements and credit support agreements provide the Company with the right to demand collateral based on the Company's mark-to-market exposure to the counterparty. as well as the right, in the event of counterparty default, to liquidate collateral and offset receivables and payables covered under the same master netting agreement. CSG monitors collateral fair value on a daily basis relative to the Company's counterparties' exposure and, when necessary, attempts to recall any material excess collateral balances. Additionally, the Company seeks to mitigate credit risk by, among other factors, monitoring exposures to and reviewing creditworthiness of its counterparties and rebalancing trading and financing sources as deemed appropriate. Cash account balances typically exceed government-sponsored insurance coverage and may subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk.
