Sixth Agreement Signed as Correspondent Pipeline Continues to Advance
Agreement Executed Through AtlasClearing, the Company’s Correspondent Clearing Subsidiary
Executive and AML Teams Strengthened with Additions of Robinhood, Axos and Morgan Stanley Alumni
Company Expects to Timely File Its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ATCH) ("AtlasClear" or the "Company"), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced the execution of its sixth correspondent broker-dealer agreement through AtlasClearing, Inc. (formerly Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc.) ("AtlasClearing"), the Company’s wholly owned correspondent clearing subsidiary.

The agreement follows the fifth correspondent agreement announced in April and extends a pipeline that has advanced across consecutive quarters.

Infrastructure work completed during earlier correspondent integrations has shortened onboarding timelines and expanded the platform’s capacity to clear for multiple correspondents concurrently. AtlasClearing has added operations staff to support current correspondent activity and near-term pipeline development. The Company has also strengthened its executive team with the addition of senior leaders formerly with Robinhood and Axos, and enhanced its anti-money laundering (AML) program with the addition of a compliance professional formerly with Morgan Stanley.

"A correspondent clearing platform becomes more valuable as you add relationships to infrastructure that is already built and operating," said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. "Each agreement adds revenue potential on a cost base that is already largely in place, and six signed agreements tell us there is continued demand from firms looking for a clearing partner sized to the way they actually operate."

"Each of these agreements represents a firm that has decided to move its business, and our job from here is to make that transition as straightforward as we can for them," said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings. "The infrastructure work behind the platform was done with exactly this in mind, and the operations team we have added gives us the capacity to take it on."

AtlasClear continues to advance discussions with additional broker-dealers as it scales its correspondent clearing platform through AtlasClearing and expects to announce further agreements as they are executed.

Separately, the Company reminds investors that it expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis. The Company looks forward to reporting on a fiscal year in which it advanced its correspondent clearing strategy and strengthened the foundation of its platform, and encourages investors to review the Form 10-K in its entirety when it is filed.
