BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN DISCLOSURE

 

Hana Financial, Inc. (“Hana”) has developed a Business Continuity Plan in order to respond to events that may significantly disrupt our business. This plan encompasses all Hana businesses. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, Hana will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, Hana is providing the following information regarding our Business Continuity Plan.

 

OUR BUSINESS CONTIUNITY PLAN

 

Hana plans to recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption based on the recovery time objectives established in the plan for each division of the company as well as safeguarding our employees and property, making financial and operational assessments, protecting the company’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. 

Through the use of established teams in the various parts of its business, Hana’s plans address: data backup and recovery, all mission-critical systems, financial and operational assessments, alternative communications with customers and employees, critical counter-party and bank impact and regulatory reporting.

 

DISRUPTION SCENARIOS

 

Significant business disruptions can vary in scope and can impact a portion of a single building housing a division of our company, the business district where our company is located, and the city where we are located. In each of these cases, Hana will transfer our operations to other Hana site(s) and/or back up facilities when needed and expect to recover and resume business within the agreed to recovery objectives per the documented plan. Clients may experience some delays in reaching the company due to increased client calls, technology delays, or other difficulties arising from the transfer of operations.
