BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN SUMMARY Arundel (Securities), Inc. has developed a Business Continuity Plan to respond to events that significantly disrupt its business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, it has to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, it is providing this information on its business continuity plan. Contacting Arundel — If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact Arundel as you usually do at phone number (212) 332-7802 or by e-mail at: rborg@arundel-ag.com , you may also access Arundel through its web site at www.arundel-ag.com If you cannot access it through these means, you should contact the Group at (011-44-20-7766-7000) for instructions on how you may be assisted. Business Continuity Plan — The Group plans quickly to recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding its employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the Group’s books and records, and allowing customers to transact business. In short, its business continuity plan is designed to permit the Group to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. The Group’s 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 customers prompt access to their funds and securities if the Group is unable to continue its business. The Group backs up important records in a geographically separate area. Varying Disruptions — Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only one company, a single building housing one company, the business district where one company is located, the city where one company is 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 one company or a building housing one company, the Group will transfer its operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within eight hours of the business disruption. In a disruption affecting a business district, city, or region, the Group will transfer its operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within twenty-four hours. In either situation, the Group plans to continue in business, transfer operations to an executing firm if necessary, and notify you through its customer emergency number, (212) 332-7802 or 011-44-020-7766-7000, explaining how to contact the Group. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents the Group from remaining in business, it will assure its customers prompt access to their funds and securities. For more information — If you have questions about the Group’s business continuity planning, you can contact it at (212) 332-7802 or by e-mail at: rborg@arundel-ag.com CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY SUMMARY The Group is required to manage conflicts of interest fairly and is required to disclose clearly any areas of conflict that may impact its investment activities and services. The Group maintains a policy for managing conflicts of interest, details of which are made available to its clients on request. This policy sets out the systems, controls and procedures that the Group has in place to manage potential conflicts of interest. As a result of the range of investment activities carried out within the Group, there are a number of instances which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest within the organisation. Any potential conflicts of interest, and the methods by which such conflicts will be mitigated, are outlined in the engagement letters the Group executes with its clients on request. The Group restricts personal account dealing by staff in line with regulatory requirements. Typically, staff will not be able to deal in securities issued by past or present clients without the prior written approval of the compliance officer. All staff dealing is monitored for adherence to this policy. The Group prevents all staff from accepting gifts or entertainments worth more than US$100 without prior approval from both the compliance officer/general counsel and the chief executive officer. Further details on these policies are available on written request by email at rborg@arundel-ag.com Stewardship Code In January 2020, the Financial Reporting Council published a revised Stewardship Code (the “Code”) which sets out indicative good practice for fund management entities when dealing with companies in which they have invested. To the extent that the Group acts as a fund manager, it is its policy to comply with the Code, save where such compliance is irrelevant or not appropriate bearing in mind the size and nature of the business undertaken by the Group. The Group will monitor on an on-going basis investee companies in which its clients are invested. The extent of monitoring will be dependent on the size and nature of the investment. The Group will ensure that an active dialogue is undertaken when necessary to protect its clients’ investments and will intervene on the instructions of its clients where it believes such action to be necessary. The Group is willing to collaborate with any other investors where appropriate. If its clients approve, the Group is willing to be made an insider. It will seek to exercise all proxy votes following discussions with the clients as to their preference on voting. It will not automatically support the board. Discussions are held with clients concerning the Group’s discharge of responsibilities under all investment mandates. There is no prescribed format to, and no independent audit of, the Group’s compliance with the Code. Owing to the size and nature of its business, the Group does not obtain an independent opinion on its engagement and voting processes. Remuneration Code Under FCA Rules, Arundel Group Limited is required to apply a remuneration code to ensure that it has risk-focused remuneration policies, processes and internal controls which are consistent with and promote effective risk management and do not expose Arundel Group Limited to excessive risk. Arundel Group Limited has a policy in place which complies with the FCA remuneration code requirements.
