Exhibit 11.1

Micro Focus Code of Conduct

A message from Stephen Murdoch, Chief Executive Officer

At Micro Focus International plc and its group companies, we are committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in our business dealings around the world. Our Code of Conduct sets out the standards that guide our business practices and govern our behaviour.

The Board of Directors and I require a culture of integrity and honesty in all our business dealings worldwide. In particular we take a zero-tolerance approach towards dishonesty, bribery or corruption of any type in all parts of our business operations and in every part of the Micro Focus group. We require the same standards from our third party business partners.

It is essential that we work together to address any issues that arise under this Code of Conduct, any related policies or local legal requirements. This includes all of us taking action and reporting what does not seem right.

It is the responsibility of each employee to apply the highest ethical standards in making business decisions including where there is no stated guideline in this Code of Conduct.

Thank you for playing your part in ensuring that Micro Focus maintains its commitment to the highest ethical business conduct and compliance.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Murdoch

Chief Executive Officer

7 Investigations We take action when aware of misconduct

7.1	Investigations

Micro Focus is committed to ensuring that all internal investigations are conducted in a fair, impartial and thorough manner in compliance with all applicable laws.

An investigation is a formal fact-finding exercise to examine allegations of misconduct and other wrongdoing in order to determine whether they have occurred and, if so, to identify the person or persons responsible. Investigations identify areas where we need to improve our business controls and prevent issues from recurring in the future.

Your Key Obligations

•	Co-operate fully with all internal investigations and audits

•	Tell the whole truth when responding to an investigation or audit

•	Never alter or destroy records that are required for any litigation, investigation or audit, whether ongoing or anticipated

•	Do not discuss an internal investigation with anyone, inside or outside the company

•	Do not retaliate against anyone who raises a concern or question honestly and in good faith
