FINANCE<br />
This category includes all indirect and direct risks which have a significant effect on securing<br />
liquidity, securing solvency and thus the going concern of the <strong>conwert</strong> Group. It comprises<br />
securing income, securing cash and cash equivalents and hedges of interest charges on loans. In<br />
addition, it contains risks related to the timely and correct reporting to authorities and investors.<br />
<strong>conwert</strong> manages its liquidity requirements on the basis of continuously updated liquidity planning,<br />
which takes into account the probable and foreseeable cash inflows and outflows. Nevertheless,<br />
it cannot be ruled out that correlating endogenous or exogenous events in other risk categories<br />
can lead to liquidity shortages. With respect to compliance with timely reporting to authorities and<br />
investors, improvements in the systems used, their operational safety and the processes and methods<br />
applied are made on an ongoing basis. In the case of a longer-term complete failure of the<br />
systems used, delays may occur which make timely reporting impossible.
