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

To the Board of Managing Directors of MD Vanilla B.V. d/b/a Maverick Derivatives

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which MD Vanilla B.V. d/b/a Maverick Derivatives (the Company) stated that:

- 1. The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3;
- 2. The Company is filing an Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to proprietary trading ; and
- 3. The Company (1) 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 17 C. F .R. § 240.15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription-way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry proprietary accounts of broker-dealers (as defined in 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company's management is responsible for 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 that the Company limited its business activities exclusively to: (1) proprietary trading; and (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry proprietary accounts of broker-dealers (as defined in 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. 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 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5.
