Significant Business Disruptions: The Company’s plan takes into account two kinds Significant Business Disruptions, internal and external. Internal SBDs affect only the Company’s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire or loss of electrical power in the office or building.
External SBDs prevent the operation of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, or another event that causes a wide-scale, regional disruption in essential services.
Internal SBDs: In the event of a disruption in the Company’s business operations due to an internal SBD, the Company will attempt to continue to conduct business as usual by utilizing alternative communication methods (if available), such as email, mobile phones, etc., and leveraging operations to our multiple locations.
If personnel or operations must be moved to an alternate location, the Company anticipates that it will resume regular operations with 48 hours.
External SBDs: In the event of a disruption in the Company’s business operations due to an external SBD, the Company will attempt to continue to conduct business as usual by leveraging operations of its alternative locations outside the affected area, if possible, or by providing customers with alternative communication arrangements, as indicated below, to conduct business.
The Company will attempt to resume business within 48 hours and to keep its customers informed regarding relevant events to the best of its ability based on the circumstances.
