RenovaCare's reputation depends on you maintaining the highest s tandard s of conduct in all business endeavors . You have a personal responsibility to protect this reputation, to "do the right thing," and to act with honesty and integrity in all dealings with customers, business partners and each other . You should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation , concealment , abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair - dealing practice . The principles set forth in this document describe how you should conduct yourself . This Code does not address every expectation or condition regarding proper and ethical business conduct Good common sense is your best guide . It does not substitute for Company policies and procedures . In every bu s iness - relatedendeavo , r you must foll o w the ethics and compliance principles set forth in this Code as well as all other applicable corporate policies and procedures . You are accountable for reading, understanding and adhering to this Code . Further, compliance with all laws, rule s and regulations related to Company activitie s is mandatory and your conduct must be such as to avoid even the appearance o f impropriety . Failure to so comply could re s ult in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment .
If you are uncertain about what to do, refer to the relevant section of this Code . If you are still unsure, speak with your supervisor or, if you prefer, a member of the Company's Corporate Ethics and Compliance Committee, if any . In the Workplace RenovaCare is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive work environment, free of all forms of unlawful discrimination, including any type of harassment . Respect The Company's greatest strength lies in the talent and ability of its associates . Since working in partnership is vital to RenovaCare's continued success, mutual respect must be the basis for all work relationships . Engaging in behavior that ridicules, belittles, intimidates, threatens or demeans, affects productivity, can negatively impact the Company's reputation and may violate the law . You are expected to treat others with the same respect and dignity that any reasonable person may wish to receive, creating a work environment that is inclusive, supportive and free of harassment and unlawful discrimination . Equal Employment Opportunity The talents and skills needed to conduct business successfully are not limited to any particular group of people . RenovaCare has a long - standing commitment to a meaningful policy of equal employment opportunity . The Company's policy is to ensure equal employment and advancement opportunity for all qualified individuals without distinction or discrimination because of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, disability, covered veteran status, marital status or any other unlawful basis . As part of this commitment, RenovaCare will make reasonable accommodations for applicants and qualified employees. Sexual Harassment and Other Discriminatory Harassment Sexual harassment and other discriminatory harassment are illegal and violate Company policies . Actions or words of a sexual nature that harass or intimidate others are prohibited . Similarly, actions or words that harass or intimidate based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, disability, covered veteran status, marital status or any other unlawful basis are also prohibited . Corporate Governance Certification Program The responsibility for maintaining the Company's reputation for integrity and compliance rests in large measure on associates who guide its operations and others in particularly sensitive positions . The Corporate Governance Certification Program is designed to have you affirm your compliance with the standards contained in this Code and to help identify situations that may in fact, or in appearance, involve conflicts of interest or other improper conduct . If you are required to complete or update a Corporate Governance Certificate, you must do so in a timely and forthright manner with accurate responses . Above all, you must remember that any act that gives the appearance of being improper can damage RenovaCare's reputation and impair the public's confidence in the Company . All such acts must be avoided . You must acknowledge that you have read and understand this Employee Code of Corporate Governance and Ethics . Conflicts of Interest Company policy prohibits conflicts of interest . A "conflict of interest" occurs when your private interest interferes in any way with the interests of RenovaCare . In addition to avoiding conflicts of interest, you should also avoid even the appearance of a conflict . A conflict situation can arise when you or a member of your family takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult for you to perform your work for the Company objectively and effectively . A conflict of interest can aJso arise when you or a member of your family receives improper personal benefits as a result of your position at RenovaCare . Though it is impossible to list every activity or situation that could present a problem, certain of the more obvious ones are noted below . Corporate Opportunities You owe a duty to RenovaCare to advance its legitimate interests . You are prohibited from competing with the Company and from using corporate property, infonnation or position
for personal opportunities or gain. You may not use or offer for use RenovaCare resources (time, technology, property or information) for non - RenovaCare business. Outside Activities Officer or Director of Another Business Officers and employees may not serve as a director, officer, trustee, partner or in any other principal position of another for - profit or publicly held organization or company without the prior approval of RenovaCare's Chief Executive Officer (or a designee) . Such requests for approval should be directed through the office of the Chief Compliance Officer . You should obtain approval from RenovaCare's Chief Executive Officer (or a designee) , before agreeing to serve on the board or in a principal position of a trade or professional association or of a non profit organization . In any event, these outside activities must not impact in any way your daily job responsibilities in your current position . Second Job Your first loyalty as an employee is to the Company . Because employment outside of RenovaCare could interfere with your responsibilities to RenovaCare or be detrimental to the Company, you are encouraged to discuss the situation with the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairperson of the Corporate Ethics and Compliance Committee . Communication of Conflicts All potential and actual conflicts of interest or material transactions or relationships that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict or the appearance of such a conflict must be disclosed . If you have any doubt about whether a conflict of interest exists after consulting this Code, you should seek as s istance from the Corporate Ethics and Compliance Committee . Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations You are required to comply fully with all laws, rules and regulations affecting RenovaCare's business and its conduct in business matters . Regarding international operations, it is expected that the Company will comply with the laws of the countries in which we operate . Where Company policy differs from local law or custom, you should follow the more restrictive policy . Because the laws that are applicable to the Company's businesses are often very complex and penalties for violations are severe, you should consult the Chief Executive Officer, who may direct you to our legal counsel, if you have any questions or concerns . If you suspect or become aware of a violation by an employee or the Company, it is your responsibility to report this immediately . Certain key laws are listed below . Insider Trading It is unlawful to buy or sell securities on the basis of material , non - public infonnation (whether such information is gained in the course of employment or otherwise) for Company owned or managed accounts, for personal accounts, or for any accounts that associates may influence, including, but not limited to, accounts of family members . This type of activity is known as "insider trading'' and is prohibited by sec urities laws and Company policy . Information may be material if there is a substantial likelihood that the information would affect the price of the security or that a reasonable investor would consider the information significant in deciding whether to buy or sell a security . Information is considered to be non - public if it has not been disclo se d t o the public . Generally, information is considered disclosed to the public if it has been published in newspapers or other media, has been the s ubject of a press release or a public filing with the SEC and , in all cases, at least 48 hours has passed since the publication, release or filing . Substantial penalties may be assessed against people who trade while in possession of material inside information and can also be imposed upon companies and so - called controlling persons such as officers and directors, who fail to take appropriate s teps to prevent or detect insider trading violations by their employees or subordinates . If you violate the Company's insider trading policy, sanctions imposed by law enforcement officials, as well as Company imposed sanc tions , up to and including termination of employment , could result . Antitrust
Antitrust laws are designed to preserve and foster free and open competition and thereby assure reasonable prices, efficient services and a productive economy . Any activity that reduces or limits free and open competition is subject to antitrust scrutiny . Deliberate or even accidental violations of these laws must not occur . For example, the Company may not agree with competitors to fix prices or terms of financial services, to designate pre - determined geographical areas where each will do business or to boycott anyone . Money Laundering Money laundering involves an attempt to conceal the true source of funds and typically takes one of two forms . There are transactions used to transform the proceeds from illicit activities into funds with an apparently legal source and there are transactions that take legitimate funds and funnel them through organizations to fund illegitimate activities, such as terrorism . Money laundering often involves complex financial transactions and encompasses many different typ e s of financial products and services . Under the existing money laundering laws of the U . S . , it is a crime if you engage knowingly in a financial transaction that involves proceeds from criminal activities or is intended to promote illegal activity . Such knowledge includes "willful blindness" to the legitimacy of the source of the funds . Severe penalties, including substantial fines and even imprisonment, can be imposed on companies and their associates for involvement in or failure to report actual or even suspicious activities relating to money laundering . Foreign Corrupt Practices Act The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits the giving or offering of money or anything of value, including gifts or services : · directly or indirectly to a foreign official, a foreign political party or an official or candidate of that party , an officer or employee of the United Nations or other public international organization or a representative of any foreign official, · for the purpose of influencing any act or decision by a foreign official, or for the purpose of persuading a foreign official to use the official's influence to affect any act or decision of a foreign government or agency or public international organization, or for the purpose of securing any improper advantage, and · to assist the Company in doing business . Toe FCPA does not prohibit any of the following: · payments of reasonable and bona fide expenses, such as travel and lodging, that are directly related to the promotion, demonstration or explanation of a product or service , so long as the payment is not for a corrupt purpose, · payments that are legal under a foreign country ' s written laws or regulations, and · "facilitating" or "expediting" payments of small value to effect routine, non - discretionary governmental action (unrelated to the process of awarding business), such as obtaining visas, arrangin g for utility hookups or the like, where the practice is usual or customary in the country concerned . While the law allows certain payment s to foreign officials to facilitate routine government actions, determining what is a permissible "facilitating" payment involves difficult legal judgments . Therefore, except for legally prescribed fees and similar payments, no payment or gift may be made to a foreign official related to business activities unless the tran s action is approved in advance by the General Counsel or a designee . You should make ev e ry effort to eliminate or minimize such payments . If such payments are approved , they must be properly recorded in the Company ' s books and records . RenovaCare and its associates will not directly or indirectly eng a ge in bribe , ry kickbac , ks payoffs or other corrupt busine s s practice s, in their relations with governmental agencies or customers . Boycotts U.S. anti - boycott laws and regulations prohibit or severely restrict the Company from
participating in boycotts against countries friendly to the U.S. and require us to report both legal and illegal boycott requests to the government. Financial Management and Disclosure The Company's goal and intention is to comply with the laws, rules and regulations by which we are governed . In fact, we strive to comply not only with requirements of the law but also with recognized compliance practices . All illegal activities or illegal conduct are prohibited whether or not they are specifically set forth in this Code . Where law does not govern a situation or where the law is unclear or conflicting, you should discuss the situation with the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer and management should seek advice from the Company's General Counsel . Business should always be conducted in a fair and forthright manner . Directors, officers and employees are expected to act according to high ethical standards . The continuing excellence of the Company ' s reputation depends upon our full and complete disclosure of important information about the Company that is used in the securities marketplace . Our financial and non - financial disclosures and filings with the SEC must be transparent, accurate and timely . Proper reporting of reliable, truthful and accurate information is a complex process involving cooperation between many departments and disciplines . We must all work together to insure that reliable, truthful and accurate information is disclosed to the public . The Company must disclose to the SEC, current security holders and the investing public information that is required, and any additional information that may be necessary to ensure the required disclosures are not misleading or inaccurate . The Company requires you to participate in the disclosure process, which is overseen by the Chief Financial Officer and/or Chief Executive Officer .

The primary responsibility of members of the Company's Board of Directors is to uphold the best interests of the Company and its stockholders as a whole by overseeing the management of the Company's business and affairs . While the Board may call special meetings in order to address specific needs of the Company from time to time, it is generally expected that the Board of Directors will meet at regular intervals and are expected to hold approximately four meetings or more per fiscal year during which the Board will perform a number of specific functions, including but not limited to : a.

Board members are encouraged to suggest the inclusion of item(s) for the agenda for each quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors in consultation with each other and senior management of the Company . It is expected that each Director will make every effort to attend each Board meeting . While attendance in person is preferred, attendance by teleconference is permitted if necessary under the circumstances . The proceedings and deliberations of the Board are confidential . Each Director will maintain the confidentiality of information received in connection with his or her service as a Director . 2. Board Access to Managi:ment At all times, Board members shall be able to freely access Company management without hindrance or undue delay while ensuring that such contact is not distracting to the business operations of the Company and that such contact, if in writing, is copied to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer . In addition , management may be invited to attend Board meetings, during which time management may brief the Board on items of particular interest and/or concern . Senior management is encouraged to offer presentations at such meetings by individuals who can provide additional insight into items being considered or who may have potential for greater responsibility and should be given exposure to the Board . 3. Board Access to Independent/Outside Advisors As may be required by applicable law or rule, the Board of Directors has the authority , when it should be deemed necessary to carry out its duties, to retain independent legal, financial or other advisors and to approve each such advisor's fees and other retention terms at the expense of the Company . 4. Size of Board The Company's Bylaws provides that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law . The Board should be large enough to maintain the Company's required expertise but not too large to function efficiently . At this time, the Board of Directors believes that the optimal number of Board members is five ( 5 ), while recognizing and allowing however , for changing circumstances that may warrant a higher or lower number from time to time . 5. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest of the Board All Directors, as well as officers and employees, are expected to act ethically at all times and to acknowledge their adherence to the policies comprising the Company's Code of Ethics . At any time that a Board member develops an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company , the conflict should be reported without delay to the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer . fu the event that a conflict of interest cannot be effectively resolved, the Board member shall resign . Should a member of the Board or any member of his or her immediate fami l y have a matter before the Board in which they have a personal interest, then this interest and the material facts and relationships relating thereto must be disclosed promptly . Furthermore , if a Board member becomes aware of a business opportunity that could be of potential benefit to
the Company, then he or she must first introduce this opportunity to the Board of Directors for consideration and not endeavor to profit personally from the opportunity unless the Company declines to pursue it . 6. Criteria and Selection of Board Membership The Board of Directors is responsible to the Company's stockholders for identifying and recommending the most qualified Director candidates to fill newly created directorship positions and vacancies and further recommend these candidates for election by stockholders . Directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, responsibility , fairness , integrity and values and be committed to representing the long - term interests of the Company's stockholders . They must also have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment . The Company's general counsel or its Chief Financial Officer shall be responsible for providing an orientation for all new Directors and for periodically providing materials or briefing sessions on subjects that would assist Directors in discharging their duties .

Term Limit'I for Board Members There is no time term - limit for service to the Board, nor does the Board believe that a tenn limit should be established . By abstaining from term limits, the Company believes it can successfully retain Board members who, over time, have been able to gamer industry knowledge and are intimate with the Company's operations . Such Directors are able to significantly contribute to the Board's function since they have helped to foster the Company's corporate vision and better understand industry trends . 8. Outside Board Directorship Directors must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively . Since service to the Company's Board of Directors may require significant time and responsibility commitments, although not mandatory, Board members are encouraged to limit the number of public company boards that they may concurrently serve on to four . Board members shall notify the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of any and/or all other public company boards on which they may serve or to which they have received an invitation to serve prior to accepting such positions . 9. Board Performance Assessment and Review Meaningful Board evaluation may require a self - assessment of the effectiveness of the full Board and individual Directors . Accordingly , the Board shall perform an annual self evaluation through its Directors . This review may require establishing protocols and procedures for evaluation of individual Board members in order to ensure that each sitting member brings expertise that is relevant to the Company's needs at that time and that the skills and contributions of the Directors are conducive to the Board's function as a group . While individual Board member review may be of value, the purpose of this evaluation is to increase the effectiveness of the Board, not to focus on the performance of individual Board members . 10.

that of an independent contractor, Consultant's provision of services to the Company is not as an independent contractor but instead as an employee under the applicable laws, then solely to the extent that such determination is applicable, references in this Agreement to the Relationship between Consultant and the Company shall be interpreted to include an employment relationship, and this Agreement s hall not be invalid and unenforceable but shall be read t o the fullest extent as may be valid and enforceable under the applicable laws to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
