It is the policy of Venaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) that the Company’s Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting officer and controller (or persons performing similar functions) and all employees adhere to, advocate and promote the following principles:

·   Loyalty to the interests of our shareholders, customers, suppliers, fellow employees, strategic partners and other business associates;

·   Honest and ethical conduct in any action, practice or course of conduct within the Company or with its business partners;

·   Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

·   Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other public communications made by the Company; and

·   Compliance with laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company.

Conflicts of Interest

·   Insiders (directors, officers and employees of the Company) shall maintain a high degree of integrity in the conduct of the Company’s business and maintain independent judgment.  Each insider must avoid any activity or personal interest that creates, or reasonably appears to create, a conflict between his/her interests and the interests of the Company.  A conflict of interest arises any time such a person has a duty or interest that may conflict with the proper and impartial fulfillment of such person’s duties, responsibilities or obligations to the Company, such as:

ο   Making an investment that may affect his/her business decisions;

ο   Owning a meaningful financial interest in, or being employed by, an organization that competes with or whose interests could reasonably be expected to conflict with those of the Company;

ο   Owning a meaningful interest in, or being employed by, an organization that does, or seeks to do, business with the Company;

ο   Making a decision on a matter where such person’s self-interests may reasonably call into question the appropriateness of the decision;

ο   Being employed by or accepting compensation from any other person as a result of business activity or prospective business activity affecting the Company;

·   No insider shall direct, or seek to direct, any Company business to any business enterprise in which the insider or his or her family member has a meaningful ownership position or serves in a leadership capacity

·   No insider shall seek or accept for his or her self or for any family member any favors, preferential treatment, special benefits, gifts, loans or other consideration as a result of such insider’s association with a business associate or with the company, except those customary and usual benefits directly provided by a business associate of the company.  The foregoing, however, does not prohibit receipt of gifts from business associates that are of nominal value consistent with accepted business practices.

Corporate Opportunities and Transactions with Business Associates

Insiders and their family members must not profit, directly or indirectly, due to their position in the Company to the detriment, or at the expense, of the Company or any of its business associates.  No insider shall take for his or her own advantage any business opportunity for profit, which he or she learns about as a result of his or her position with the Company.

Confidentiality

·   No insider or family member shall discuss with, or inform others about, any actual or contemplated business transaction by the Company or any business associate except as required in the performance of the insider’s employment duties and then only for the benefit of the Company or the business associate, as appropriate, and in no event for personal gain or for the benefit of any other third party.

·   No insider or family member shall give any information to any third party about any pending or proposed business transaction of the Company or its business associates unless expressly authorized to do so by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

·   No insider or family member other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chair of the Board may discuss the Company or its business associates with any member of the press or media except with the prior authorization of the Compliance Officer.
