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.
