If, after a significant disruption, you cannot contact us by any of these standard methods, please check our platform at www.disruptive.tech to find alternate or temporary contact information and updated information on what we are doing to quickly recover and resume business. Our plan also provides for immediate contact of our third-party service providers deemed critical to ongoing operations, and therefore the service providers will be apprised on our current situation and immediate continuity plans. If you are unable to contact us by any of the above means, you should contact the appropriate service provider regarding your investments with us. Finally, our business continuity plan will be reviewed, updated and tested periodically.
