BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN DISCLOSURE

CenterPoint M&A Advisors. (“CenterPoint” or the “Firm”) is committed to safeguarding the interests of our clients and customers in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. This Business Continuity Plan Disclosure (the “Disclosure”) summarizes CenterPoint’s effort to mitigate risks inherent with unforeseen business interruptions. The Firm’s business continuity strategy is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our clients and customers in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption. This Disclosure is intended to comply with the rules promulgated by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”).

Overview

CenterPoint maintains one primary and one alternate office location to house our operations and information technology. These two facilities are located far enough apart to diminish risks posed by local disruptions. This separation allows us to plan for events at each location individually, since no one event should effect more than a single location simultaneously. The benefit of having two separate locations is that our response to an event will be the same whether the event is a firm-only business disruption, a disruption to a single building, a disruption to a business district or a city-wide business disruption.

Communication with Our Employees in the Event of a Disruption

The safety and well-being of our employees is a vital concern. In the event of an emergency or significant business disruption, the Firm will communicate with its employees in several different ways. We use a combination of telephone, facsimile, e-mail, and mobile phone. General information such as office closures and operating hours will be sent via e-mail to registered and non-registered employees on the Firm’s contact lists.

Mission Critical Systems

Our Firm conducts business exclusively in Merger & Acquisition Consulting and Private Placement of Securities.  Therefore, our only mission critical systems are our internal electronic and paper records located at our main office.   All data on this system is backed up weekly and is stored in an appropriately safe location

Back-Up Operations Site

CenterPoint maintains a backup office located approximately 40 miles from our headquarters. In the event that we are unable to access our main office, it may be necessary to relocate certain personnel to the backup site. It is equipped with computer workstations, telephones, printers and fax machines.

Protection of Primary Facilities

Protecting the infrastructure of our primary offices is a high priority because it will allow the firm to continue operations in the event of many disaster situations, by permitting our employees to have access to and use of our facilities during each situation.

Disclaimer

The Firm’s business continuity strategy is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our clients in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption; however it is not infallible. The plan is designed to work in many different emergency situations, but these events are, by their nature, unpredictable and it is impossible to anticipate every scenario that could cause a business disruption. Furthermore, although we are confident in our own preparedness, CenterPoint has no control over the various entities that we must rely upon in the event of an emergency. Our business continuity plans are tested periodically to ensure readiness; yet such tests may not be able to replicate the actual conditions we experience in a real emergency. The Business Continuity Plan is subject to change without notice. In the event that the Business Continuity Plan is modified, customers may obtain an updated hard copy upon request, and one will be provided annually thereafter. The information contained in this Disclosure is provided by CenterPoint for informational purposes only. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify any of the terms and conditions set forth in any customer agreement between you and CenterPoint.
