BATHGATE CAPITAL PARTNERS BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING
Bathgate Capital Partners LLC 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.
Contacting Us — If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually
do at 303-694-0862, please go to our web site at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
Our Business Continuity Plan — We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a
significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a
financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our
customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our
firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant
business disruption. 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.
Varying Disruptions — 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 a building
housing our firm, we will
21
transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business
within an hour. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer
our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within a few
hours. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, transfer operations to our clearing
firm if necessary, and notify you through our web site [xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx] or a
telephone recording from our main line, [000-000-0000] how to contact us. 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 funds and securities.
For more information — If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you
can contact us at (000) 000-0000 or send inquiries to our main office: 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xx.
