VI.PROHIBITION AGAINST INSIDER TRADING AND UNLAWFUL DISCLOSURE OF INSIDE INFORMATION

 

The Company respects and follows relevant securities laws by ensuring that inside information is secure and protected.

 

Inside information is any information of a precise nature, which has not been made public, relating directly or indirectly, to the Company or any other issuer of publicly traded financial instruments or financial instruments (including shares) issued by the Company or such other issuer, and would, if made public, be likely to have a significant effect on the price of those financial instruments or on the price of related derivative financial instruments. The effect of the inside information on the price of the security or other financial instrument can be positive or negative.

 

In the course of performing their working duties at the Company, employees may obtain inside information or other non-public information about the Company itself, the Company’s suppliers, customers or other counterparties. Employees are prohibited from buying or selling the Company’s financial instruments or any securities of a publicly traded company or related derivative financial instruments whenever they are in possession of inside information or material nonpublic information regarding or concerning the Company or that company, as the case may be. Passing such information on to someone who may buy or sell securities or recommending that they buy or sell securities on the basis of such information – known as “tipping” – is also prohibited, as is any disclosure of inside information, except where the disclosure is allowed under applicable laws.

The Company’s computer and communication resources, including computers, smartphones, voicemail, chat and e-mail, provide substantial benefits, but they also present significant security and liability risks to employees and the Company. It is extremely important that employees take all necessary measures to secure their computers and all electronic devices with passwords and other relevant measures. This applies also to situations where an employee uses his or her own devices to access or store the Company information. All sensitive, confidential or restricted electronic information must be password protected.

 

If employees have any reason to believe that their password or the security of a the Company computer, smartphone or communication resource or personal device used to access or store the Company information has been compromised, they must change their password immediately and report the incident to the Company’s IT department, or a designated responsible person, as applicable.

XVII.CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

The Company employees must avoid all situations where their personal interests may conflict with those of the Company and the Company’s stakeholders. This means, for instance, that the employees are not allowed to accept or provide a personal gift, hospitality or entertainment, except for personal gifts or entertainment of nominal value not exceeding reasonable and customary standards of hospitality. Should there be any doubt that the acceptance of a gift or favor may lead to a possible conflict of interest, the employee must clarify the situation with the Compliance Officer, or a designated responsible person in advance. The Company does not provide financial support to political parties or other political organizations or to individual candidate’s election campaigns.

 

Particular care should be taken if an employee or an affiliated person has a direct or indirect interest in a company or is able to exercise influence over a company with whom the Company does business or which competes with the Company. For the purposes of this Code, “affiliated person” means a spouse, domestic partner or significant other, child, parent, sibling, cousin, close personal friend or any other person (including nominees) who may act on the employee’s behalf. For example, a conflict of interest can also arise when one relative is directly subordinate to another.

 

Employees owe a duty to the Company to advance the Company’s legitimate interests whenever the opportunity to do so arises. If employees learn of a business or investment opportunity in which the Company may be interested or which is otherwise within its sphere of business activities, including through the use of corporate property or information or the employee’s position in the Company, such as from a competitor or actual or potential customer, supplier or business associate of the Company, employees may not pursue or participate in the opportunity without the prior written approval of the Compliance Officer, or a designated responsible person. Employees may not use corporate property or information, or their position at the Company for improper personal gain, and employees may not compete with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any conduct expressly permitted by, or duly authorized in accordance with, the Company’s Certificate of Formation (as amended from time to time) shall be permitted under this Policy and shall not constitute a violation of this Section XVII.

XIX.SUPPLIERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
