Aquilo Partners. L.P. (the “Firm”) maintains a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) that is designed to ensure the continuation or prompt resumption of our business in the event of a significant business disruption (“SBD”). The Firm’s BCP is subject to modification depending on the nature and severity of a specific event. In the event of a SBD, the Firm will make reasonable effort to contact clients promptly if we perceive that the event may impede or significantly delay that client’s business. The Firm engages in investment banking activities. The Firm’s mission critical systems are those that ensure communication with clients and with transaction participants.
Our plan anticipates two kinds of SBDs, internal and external. Internal SBDs affect only our Firm’s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in our building. External SBDs are regional, national or global events such as an act of terrorism, an earthquake or other natural disaster, a pandemic or a wide-scale disruption. In the event of a SBD, our aim is to quickly resume business operations after (a) safeguarding our employees and property, (b) making a financial and operational assessment of the situation, and (c) protecting the Firm’s books and records. The scope of business operations our BCP addresses include:1) data backup and recovery of all mission-critical systems; 2) financial and operational assessments; 3) alternate avenues of communication with our clients, employees, and regulators; 4) alternate physical locations in which to conduct business; 5) mission critical systems; and 6) regulatory reporting.
Our BCP establishes procedures that enable the Firm to transfer operations to a predetermined disaster recovery site. Although we have taken significant steps to develop and implement sound business recovery plans, we cannot guarantee that systems will always be available or recoverable after a SBD. The Firm’s BCP is reviewed annually and subject to modification without notice. Any material changes to the above information will be available on our website or upon request. If you have further questions about our BCP or wish to receive a copy of our BCP, please contact our office at (415) 677-9773 or visit our website at www.aquilopartners.com.
