Global laws relating to foreign data collection and privacy are rapidly increasing in the scale and depth of their requirements, and are also often extra-territorial in nature. Any additional privacy laws or regulations enacted or approved in the jurisdictions in which we operate could seriously harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, a wide range of regulators are seeking to enforce these laws across regions and borders. Furthermore, we frequently have privacy compliance requirements as a result of our contractual obligations with counterparties. These legal and contractual obligations heighten our privacy obligations in the ordinary course of conducting our business in all jurisdictions where we operate.

While we have taken various measures and made significant efforts and investment to ensure that our policies, processes and systems are both robust and in compliance with these obligations, our potential liability remains, particularly given the continued and rapid development of privacy laws and regulations around the world, and increased enforcement action. Any inability, or perceived inability, by us or our portfolio companies to adequately address privacy concerns, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards and guidance, contractual obligations, or other legal obligations, even if unfounded, could result in significant regulatory and third-party liability, increased costs, disruption of our and our portfolio companies’ business and operations, and a loss of client (including investor) confidence and other reputational damage. Furthermore, as new privacy-related laws and regulations are implemented, the time and resources needed for us and our portfolio companies to comply with such laws and regulations continue to increase and become a significant compliance work stream.

Our operations are highly dependent on the information system and technology infrastructure that supports our business and on a number of external service providers for certain key market information and data, technology, processing, data centers and supporting functions.

We depend on our offices in George Town, Cayman Islands, São Paulo, Brazil, Santiago, Chile, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, and Medellin, Colombia where most of our personnel are located, for the continued operation of our business. In addition, we utilize data center hosting facilities from a third-party service provider. A disaster or a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our businesses, as a result of a cybersecurity incident, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, vandalism or sabotage or otherwise, including a disruption involving electronic communications or other services used by us or third parties with whom we conduct business, including a decision to cease providing services or close a facility
