comply with these capital requirements when they become effective. For example,
disclose if Wilson-Davis is expected to increase excess net capital by either retaining
earnings or infusing external capital by the October 2023 date and specifically how.
•To the extent that the increase to excess net capital is based on infusing external
capital, include a discussion of the contractual terms of that arrangement.
Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of the Company, page 110
2.We note your added disclosure in response to our prior comment 1 that the growth of
clearing services for introducing broker customers is used in your projections and is
expected to be a key driver to meet your revenue projections, with such clearing services
projected to provide nearly 35% of Year 5 revenues. Please also include disclosure
accompanying the projections explaining the risk that in order to continue the clearing
services part of the business, Wilson-Davis will need to obtain additional capital.
Additionally, please include disclosure in this section discussing the applicable projections
and what assumptions regarding your clearing services were used in preparing the
projections, and how failure to meet the increased capital requirements needed to continue
with the clearing services may affect the projections. In this regard, clarify if the
continued operation and growth in the business area of clearing services for introducing
broker customers was an assumption made in the projections. Quantify what amount or
percentage of revenue this aspect of the business was projected to produce for each year of
the projections that are provided, to the extent applicable and practicable. Please include
this information for your combined projections as well as the Wilson-Davis specific
revenue projections discussed under "Wilson-Davis," starting at page 114.
Recommendation of the Quantum Board, page 119
3.Please disclose if the Quantum Board is aware of and has considered the risk of Wilson-
Davis not being able to continue its clearing services for introducing broker customers and
how that may impact the projections and underlying assumptions. Please clarify if the
board has considered this risk in making its recommendation to shareholders to approve
the transaction. Alternatively, if the board has not considered this, please explain why the
board did not consider this risk but are able to still make an evaluation of the
reasonableness of the projections in making its recommendation.
