BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN

Seaview Securities LLC is committed to safeguarding the lives and property of its employees and clients and to recover from any internal (such as fire or flood to our offices) or external (such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks) significant business disruption (SBD) as quickly and seamlessly as possible. We have developed an SBD plan that does not distinguish between internal and external SBDs. In either case, it is the firm’s intention to continue in business unless it is plainly impractical to do so.

What You Can Expect
In the event of an SBD, employees are instructed to work from home. To enable this, the firm has designed a system of communications and document storage that is redundant and remotely accessible, including:

  • Every employee of the firm has a cellular telephone, blackberry device, portable laptop computer, as well as a high speed internet connection and fax machine at home.
  • Our business email is accessible from any location that has internet access and our blackberry devices can send and receive email from any location that can receive a signal.
  • The firm’s email and blackberry functions are hosted by an outside service provider who operates at a location that is remote from the firm’s offices.
  • Transaction documents are stored on the firm’s network server, which is backed up weekly. Periodically, a supplemental backup of the firm’s network server is sent and stored at a remote location.

In addition, each employee maintains a backup email account with a separate email address that can be used in the event of an SBD. A copy of this information is available upon request and will be provided to clients when an engagement letter is signed.

What you should do
In the event of an SBD, and depending upon its magnitude and duration, it may not be possible to communicate with Seaview employees for a period of time. Should this occur, please send your Seaview contacts an email providing information on how we can reach you. A Seaview employee will contact you by email or telephone as soon as practicable to give you a status report.

If we are unable to continue our business
In the event that we determine that we are unable to continue our business, all employees are instructed to assure that clients receive prompt access to all transaction materials, including offering memoranda, investor logs, spreadsheets and other materials prepared in connection with ongoing transactions. Employees are also instructed to assist clients in finding substitute transaction advisors, if required.

Questions or comments
Clients are invited to contact Joseph Dougherty, Managing Director at 212-331-7871 with any questions or comments.
