Statement on the Boston Marathon tragedy MFS is shocked and saddened by the events that occurred today at the end of the Boston Marathon. We have accounted for all of our people who were working in the building and are grateful for their safety. Because Monday was a scheduled Work from Home day exercise the number of employees who were in the office was minimized; our building and our business were not affected. We are monitoring the progress of the police investigation and communicating with our employees to ensure they are safe and reassured. The office will be open again on Tuesday but employees will have the option to work from home again or at our business recovery facility in Marlborough, MA, as the investigation continues.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this senseless tragedy. We believe all of our Natixis Global Asset Management staff have been safely accounted for. We are open for business on Tuesday, but our offices at 399 Boylston Street are closed. Boylston Street employees are working from home and other remote disaster recovery sites on Tuesday.
