4 Franklin Templeton Investments
Parent: Franklin Resources Inc. Approx 500 Billion in Assets Under Management Major Brands Franklin Templeton Mutual Series Fiduciary Trust Darby Overseas Bisset (Canada) Employees: Approx 8,000 in 29 countries. In the Florida Area: St. Petersburg (1,200+) Ft. Lauderdale (466) Nassau (49) Miami (16)

5 Who the Heck was Wilma? Hurricane Wilma is the lesser known cousin of Katrina. However, Wilma was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. It devastated parts of the Yucatán Peninsula as well as southern Florida. There were 62 deaths attributed to Wilma and damage is estimated at $12.2 billion in the U.S., making Wilma the sixth costliest storm in U.S history. When Wilma reached Ft. Lauderdale, she was a category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 110 mph to 130 MPH.

6 Impact of Wilma on Franklin
Wilma reached Ft. Lauderdale early Monday morning, October 24th. By Monday afternoon, we had received preliminary damage assessments indicating that hundreds of windows primarily on the north west section of the building were blown out. We were unable to occupy the building from October 24 through November 18. No loss of life and no injuries to employees. Some damage to a few employee’s homes. Many employee’s homes were without power for days or weeks. 500 employees were impacted, with over 230 being relocated to other sites: Toronto, St. Petersburg, Miami, New York, Short Hills, San Mateo, and Rancho Cordova.   

7 What Went Right In general, our Crisis Management, Business Continuity and Technology Disaster Recovery plans worked well. Wilma caused virtually no disruption to our customers. The Ft. Lauderdale Emergency Management Team took charge of the situation in Ft. Lauderdale. All business units were able to follow their business continuity plans and recover their operations. Technology operations were restored to include two critical applications.

8 Crisis Management Lessons
When the local Emergency Management Teams (EMT’s) are in the midst of the incident and working literally in the dark, they do not always have the ability to fully coordinate the recovery of business operations away from the site. Each of the major roles in our crisis management teams need to have a specific checklist. We need to put in place a pre-plan to track and deal immediately with the relocation of employees to other sites. You cannot over communicate. Despite the fact that we tried very hard to be proactive on communicating to our employees, we still heard a number of complaints in this area.

9 Business Continuity Lessons
Over 40 laptops were left in the FTL office when the hurricane hit. There had been so many hurricane threats during the year that many employees did not feel that Wilma would really hit or cause this much damage if it did. The standard for Business Continuity Plans needs to be expanded to address a month long outage: Shifting work to alternate sites for the first 3-5 days without moving employees Plan for an incident to last over a month to include a month end A number of issues arose in regards to employees: Pay during the outage Childcare and school closures Bonus for extraordinary efforts Relocation of children & elders

10 Technology Lessons Learned
We were surprised by the number of business units that still relied upon hard copies of faxed documents to stand alone fax machine. We have worked on a better process and documentation of FAX rerouting requirements. Better written procedures for forwarding 800 numbers. There is a desire from the business for a better disaster recovery solution for and Blackberry servers. Environmental monitoring of server rooms needs to be tied into a central control point to insure it is remotely accessible.

11 Facilities Lessons Learned
We should have drilled more rigorously on damage assessments. For the first couple of days, the damage assessments were verbal and led us to believe the damage was much more extensive than it was. It turned out only 15% to 20% of the work areas were damaged. Conversely, our repair and re-occupancy time estimates were wildly optimistic. Based on initial reports, we planned for a week long disruption. We were out for almost a month. Need to have working knowledge prior to the incident of what local agencies will require to re-occupy a building. Keep in mind the fire marshal and the building inspectors are not always in sync.

12 Questions? Wilma Closing
In the end it was the knowledge, flexibility and perseverance of our people who really carried the day and made the recovery a success. Questions?

13 Franklin’s Approach to Planning for a Pandemic

14 Pandemic Agenda Goal of this presentation Likelihood of a Pandemic
Basic Business Continuity Strategy Why plan How will a pandemic differ Basic elements of our plan Crisis Management Business Continuity Planning Technology General Services Human Relations Corporate Communications What our plan does not cover

15 Pandemic Background 1. Goal: To provide an overview of Franklin’s current approach and thinking in regards to planning for a possible Pandemic. 2. Likelihood of a pandemic occurring: The question is more like earthquakes in California. It is not a question of if, but rather when and how bad. Some data points such as the 1918, 1957 & 1968 pandemics and SAR’s. But, no good data on frequency or severity. 3. Strategy: Our basic disaster planning strategy is to shift our operations to other sites for 3 to 5 days, after which we will then need to start to shift people to alternate sites. However, this will not work in a pandemic situation.

16 Pandemic Background (Continued)
4. Why plan if civilization is going to collapse: We used a “reasonable worst case scenario”. A scenario which we think is likely to occur. This is not a worst case scenario which anticipates the general breakdown of society and services. 5. How will a pandemic differ from our “normal incidents: - Many sites are likely to be impacted at approximately the same time - Will not be able to shift people between sites Site might be impacted, but not incapacitated - Sites affected for months not hours Affects people directly not facilities or IT. Employees may choose not to come to work. No clear beginning or end.

17 Pandemic Plan Outline Our pandemic plan is broken down into:
1. Crisis Management: - Framework to address a pandemic - Tabletop exercises 2. Business Continuity Planning: - Guidance to business units on how to review their business continuity strategies and workflows against a pandemic type scenario 3. Technology Steps to reduce the impact of a pandemic on our data centers - Increased remote work capabilities - Reviewing other strategies

18 Pandemic Plan Outline (Continued)
4. General Services Best practices for employee hygiene program and procedures for facility managers to follow in the event of a pandemic 5. Human Relations Global HR policy framework to provide recommendations to local HR groups to address issues that are likely to arise in a pandemic 6. Corporate Communications Integrated communication plan 7. Plan Does not currently include: PPE such as Masks gloves, Etc. Antiviral Drugs such as Tamiflu Vaccines

25 Public/Private Partnerships
The Role for Regional Public/Private Partnerships

26 The Missing Piece To increase the resilience of financial services in the event of a regional disaster in collaboration with the city, state, and federal agencies.

27 All Disasters are Local
How will that jurisdiction prevent, prepare for, and respond to incidents? Do your business continuity plans incorporate government response plans? How can coordination be fostered among jurisdictions? Regional partnerships can strengthen the business continuity plans of participating firms

28 Regional Partnerships: Formed and Forming

29 RPC FIRST Fostering Collaboration among Partnerships
