## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member of SilverBox Securities LLC

## Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of SilverBox Securities LLC as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of income, changes in member'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 SilverBox Securities LLC as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

## Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of SilverBox Securities LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on SilverBox Securities LLC'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 SilverBox Securities LLC 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.

## Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information

The Schedule I - Computation of Net Capital, and Schedule II - Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of SilverBox Securities LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of SilverBox Securities LLC's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental 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 presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information listed above is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

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

#### Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. In lieu of income taxes, the Company passes 100% of its taxable income and expenses to the Member. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in these financial statements.

#### 3. Related Party Transactions

On July 12, 2023, the Company entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement ("Agreement") with Member, a company under common control. Member pays certain overhead expenses for the Company for which it is reimbursed by the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reimbursed Member \$25,951 of such costs. However, per the Agreement, the Company is not obligated to reimburse Member. As of December 31, 2024, no amount is due to Member.

For year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acted as independent financial advisor in connection with a public offering of a company under common control. The Company earned a \$170,000 success fee for its services which is included in investment banking fees on the Statement of Income.

The Company's results of operations and financial position could differ significantly from those that would have been obtained if the entities were autonomous.

#### 4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company saisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time when it is determined the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of the Company's influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties.

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

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

#### 4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of revenues from contracts with customers:

#### Investment Banking Fees

Revenue is generated from fees earned on investment banking advisory services provided in connection with capital raising, merger, acquisition and restructuring transactions. Investment banking revenue can be both fixed and variable and can be recognized over time and at a point in time. Retainer fees from investment banking advisory engagements are recognized over time using a time elapsed measure of progress as the Company's clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of those services as they are provided, or are recognized at a point in time when the related performance obligation is complete. Success fees are recognized at a point in time when the transaction is complete since the related performance obligation has been satisfied upon completion.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was one \$170,000 success fee which is presented as investment banking fee on the Statement of Income.

### Contract Balances

Income is recognized upon completion of the related performance obligation and when an unconditional right to payment exists. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of customer payments. Fees received prior to the completion of the performance obligation are recorded as deferred revenue on the statement of financial condition until such time when the performance obligation is met. Deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer fees received in investment banking engagements. Deferred revenue was \$0 at January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

Alternatively, a receivable is recognized when a performance obligation is met prior to receiving payment by the customer. Receivables related to revenue from a contract with a customer totaled \$0 as of January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

#### Contract Costs

Expenses associated with investment banking advisory engagements are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized upon completion of the performance obligations. All other investment banking advisory related expenses are expensed as incurred.

#### 5. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may have exceeded federally insured limits during the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, 100% of the investment banking fee was earned from one customer.

{13}------------------------------------------------

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

### 6. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital both as defined shall not exceed 8 to 1. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$49,351 which was \$44,351 in excess of its required capital.

#### 7. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the financial statements through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, which date was the date of the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and noted no events requiring disclosure or recognition.

Therefore, in reliance on Footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073, which is discussed in Q & A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff, the firm will not claim an exemption from SEA Rule 15c3-3 as it does not effect transactions for anyone defined as a customer under Rule 15c3-3, and there are no items to report under the requirements of this Rule.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

## To the Member of SilverBox Securities LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) SilverBox Securities LLC (the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3, and (2) the Company is filing this 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 investment banking capital raising and merger and acquisition advisory services and the Company (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 PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

SilverBox Securities LLC'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 SilverBox Securities LLC'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 upon the Company's 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.
