Business Continuity Planning

Introduction

Columbia Private Markets, LLC ("CPM") has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

Contacting Us – If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at (509) 210-8305, you should call our alternative number (509) 822-3850. If you cannot access us through either of those means, you should contact (509) 210-7188.

Our Business Continuity Plan

We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm's books and records, and helping our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.

Our business continuity plan addresses: data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternate communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assisting our customers with access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

Third-party firms that we rely on backup our important records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our own vendors that their objective is to restore their own operations within 24 hours.

Varying Disruptions

Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm's office, the city where we are located or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In the event of a significant business disruption, we have plans to place to move to a back-up location or remote locations as necessary. In either situation, we plan to continue business and notify you through email on how to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure the orderly processing of any activity associated with customer relationships and accounts.
