Wayne Hummer Wealth Management 9s Business Continuity Plan Wayne Hummer Investments has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that signi cantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact o0 disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be fexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this in0ormation on our business continuity plan. Contacting Us 3 I0 a0ter a signi cant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do by calling your Financial Advisor directly or 866.943.4732, you should call our alternative number 800.678.0833 or go to our web site at www.whummer.com . We recognize you many need access to your account to sell a position or request a check be0ore we re-establish telephone service with our clients. During this time, First Clearing, LLC (First Clearing), our clearing rm, will assist you with sell/liquidation orders and provide check disbursements, i0 needed. I0 you cannot contact our rm, please call First Clearing 0or assistance at 877.496.3223. Our Business Continuity Plan 3 We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations a0ter a signi cant business disruption and respond by sa0eguarding our employees and property, making a nancial and operational assessment, protecting the rm 9s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our rm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity o0 the signi cant business disruption. Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; nancial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location o0 employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their 0unds and securities i0 we are unable to continue our business. Our clearing rm, backs up our important records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external 0actors, such as time o0 day and the severity o0 the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing rm that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within 24 to 48 hours. Your orders and requests 0or 0unds and securities could be delayed during this period. Varying Disruptions 3 Signi cant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our rm, a single building housing our rm, the business district where our rm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each o0 these areas, the severity o0 the disruption can also vary 0rom minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our rm or a building housing our rm, we will trans0er our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 24 hours. In a disruption a00ecting our business district, city, or region, we will trans0er our operations to a site outside o0 the a00ected area, and recover and resume business within 24 hours. In either situation, we plan to continue business, trans0erring operations to our clearing rm i0 necessary, and noti0y you through our web site www.whummer.com or our customer emergency number, 800.678.0833. I0 the signi cant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us 0rom remaining in business, we will assure our customer 9s prompt access to their 0unds and securities.
