Question: What are some examples of the kinds of business transactions or ?nancial or personal interests that may put me in a con?ict of interest situation? Answer: Generally, you have a con?ict of interest when you put yourself in a situation where you may not be acting in Cameco’s best interests. For example, you may have a con?ict if: • You award a contract to a private company in which you are a shareholder. • You or your family have a signi?cant interest in a business that deals with Cameco. • You influenced a decision that Cameco made that improves the value of property you own or have an interest in, such as shares in junior uranium companies. • You realized financial gains or savings from the purchase or sale of stocks, bonds, shares or other assets using information which isn’t generally available to the public. Question: I work part-time at Cameco. The other part of the time I work for another company. Is this a con?ict of interest? Answer: It’s not a conflict of interest unless: • The other company is a competitor of Cameco. • The other company has opposing interests to Cameco. • The other job interferes with your duties at Cameco.

You have violated this code and are subject to discipline or even dismissal if you don’t disclose any conflicting interests you may have. Question: What happens if my con?ict of interest is not acceptable to Cameco? Answer: Depending on the con?ict, you may have to take one or more of the following actions: • Give back any benefit you received. • Get rid of the outside interest. • Put applicable assets in a frozen or blind trust. • Accept a transfer to a job where the conflict wouldn’t exist. • Exclude yourself from any human resources, administrative or ?nancial processes concerning family members at Cameco. • Resign from your job or board appointment.
