Aquilo Partners, Inc., (“Aquilo”) has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.
– If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 415-677-9773, you should go to our web site at www.aquilopartners.com or email us. If you cannot access us through any of those means, you should contact the issuer who sponsored the private investment you may have purchased through us. The contact information for the issuer is provided to you at the time of a transaction. Aquilo does not hold your funds or securities; in all cases, your securities are recorded on the books of the issuer.
– It is our intention to remain in business after a significant business disruption. However, if we do not elect to resume business, we will certainly respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, and protecting the firm's books and records. Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.
– Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or the building housing our firm, we will likely transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within one week. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we may not elect to transfer our operations. In either situation, however, we have provided you with direct contact information concerning your investments, and will attempt to notify you through our web site at www.aquilopartners.com or by email. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer's prompt access to their securities, as these are always held by the issuer.
– If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at 415-677-9773. |
