INCOME TAXES

Prior to the closing the Business Combination, BMS was classified as a partnership for income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to federal, and certain state, and local income taxes. Subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, BMS elected to be taxed as a corporation and therefore subject to federal, state and local income taxes. Binah Capital Group, Inc. and Binah Capital Corp are also corporations and subject to federal, state and local income taxes. PKSH elected to be taxed as a corporation. The PKSH Entities and WEG are taxable entities and are subject to federal, state, and local income taxes.

The effective tax rate was approximately 22% and (15)% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 differed significantly from the statutory rate primarily due to transaction costs that were incurred as a result of the Reverse Recapitalization, warrant revaluations, and other permanent differences. The tax provision is related to the activities of the taxable entities including Binah Capital group, Inc., BMS, PKSH Entities, Cabot Entities and WEG.
