Q&A:
- Question from Jeff Ramson (ProActive Capital Group, LLC): There's been meaningful capital structure simplification over the past year, but investors are still focused on dilution and convertibles. Can you walk through what the fully diluted share count looks like today and whether we're largely past the heavy conversion phase?
Response: Current share count is ~150M. Only remaining viable conversions are from the October 2025 financing, adding ~43M shares (warrants) and >14M shares (convertible note). Any future dilution is expected to be accretive.
- Question from Jeff Ramson (ProActive Capital Group, LLC): You ended the quarter with over $46 million in cash and restricted cash. How should investors think about true corporate liquidity versus regulatory capital and are we now in a position where the business can fund growth internally?
Response: Regulatory capital threshold is $10.5M. The company holds $15M for this requirement. The remaining $23.1M in cash could be spent but the business can grow internally given the strengthened capital position.
- Question from Jeff Ramson (ProActive Capital Group, LLC): Wilson-Davis continues to be described as the engine of the platform. At what revenue level does the clearing business begin to generate consistent operating leverage? And what does the path to scale to profitability look like from here?
Response: The inflection point is after covering ~$14M in fixed operating costs. Beyond that threshold, margins are solid and the business can scale significantly, with maximum operating leverage expected to happen through 2026.
- Question from Jeff Ramson (ProActive Capital Group, LLC): Can you provide more clarity on the expected ramp time line for the new introducing brokerage firms and when investors should begin to see measurable impact reflect in revenue or account growth?
Response: The first new client (Dawson James) is about to begin trading, with others expected to ramp more quickly. Revenue impact should be visible in the next few quarters.
- Question from Jeff Ramson (ProActive Capital Group, LLC): On the proposed Commercial Bancorp acquisition, can you provide realistic update on timing, regulatory visibility and what the financial profile of AtlasClear looks like with or without that transaction?
Response: The updated stock purchase agreement is in place; the application to the Fed will be filed soon. Regulatory approval is expected to move more quickly. Without the bank, Wilson-Davis can build a highly profitable company. With the bank, it creates a full licensing platform that is 'immediately accretive' and creates a 'one-stop solution' with significant growth potential.
