22. Risks

22.12 Execution. The Services may at times be subject to communications problems, or may temporarily be configured in such a way that trades cannot be executed or account balances cannot be withdrawn. Denial of service attacks or other malicious actions by others may also temporarily compromise the capabilities of the exchange. BNT strives at all times to prevent these types of situations from occurring, but BNT cannot guarantee that the ACE is available for trading at all times.

22.18 Key personnel. Loss of members of BNT's key management and staff could have adverse consequences for BNT and could affect its financial viability. While the Company has employment agreements with its key personnel, with the aim of securing their respective services, the retention of such services cannot be guaranteed. BNT's success and growth strategy depends upon its ability to attract and retain appropriate management, technological and operating personnel. There is a risk that BNT will not be able to attract appropriate staff to meet its future requirements.
