When submitting a Report, individuals are asked to provide as much detailed information as possible. Providing detailed, rather than general, information will greatly assist in effectively investigating complaints or concerns. This is particularly important where a person submits a complaint or a concern on an anonymous basis, as the person receiving the Report will be unable to contact the reporting individual with requests for additional information or clarification.

 

 

 

  

The Company is providing these anonymous reporting procedures so that individuals may disclose genuine complaints or concerns without feeling threatened. As detailed below, the Company prohibits retaliation or retribution against any individual who in good faith submits a Report under this policy. Individuals submitting a Report under this Policy who choose to identify themselves when submitting a Report, may be contacted by a representative of the Audit Committee in order to gain additional information.

 

Information relating to the Report will only be provided to those persons within the Company who have a need to know such information to execute their tasks under this policy, to perform investigation and any other action needed to be taken. The name of the reporting employee shall not be disclosed to the implicated person that is subject of the Report, or to the direct supervisor or other line management of the reporting employee. The information shall be provided in such a manner to safeguard as much as possible the confidentiality of the identity of the reporting employee. Information (indirectly) revealing the identity of the reporting employee shall only be provided if such is indispensable for the investigation of the Suspected Misconduct or subsequent judicial proceedings.

 

III.Sanctions

 

All conversations, calls and reports made under this Policy in good faith will be taken seriously. However, individuals who file Reports or provide evidence in bad faith, that they know to be false or without a reasonable belief in the truth and accuracy of such information, will not be protected by this policy and may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination.

 

The Reports made in good faith, even if the facts later turn out to be inaccurate or do not trigger further action, shall not be sanctioned, as provided below.

 

Any complaints about the application of this Policy and sanctions in particular, shall be submitted to the Audit Committee Chair. The Audit Committee shall provide its decision within three months.

 

IV.Policy Prohibiting Unlawful Retaliation or Discrimination

 

In accordance with applicable law, the Company will not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten or harass directly or indirectly, or in any other manner discriminate or take retaliatory action against, any individual based upon any lawful actions of such individual with respect to good faith submission of Reports internally through the available Company resources or externally to the SEC or other regulatory agencies regarding Suspected Misconduct.

 

V.Treatment of reports

 

The Audit Committee and, in particular, the Chair of the Audit Committee (or, in the case of Reports made to the Presiding Director of the Board, the Presiding Director) is responsible for overseeing the receipt, retention, and investigation of and response to all Reports. The Corporate Compliance Officer is responsible for administering these procedures on behalf of the Company. The Corporate Compliance Officer will promptly forward to the Audit Committee (or, if applicable, the Presiding Director of the Board), in detail, any Report involving a Company senior

 

 

 

 

officer or having a potential aggregate value exceeding $250,000. In determining whether the Audit Committee (or, if applicable, the Presiding Director of the Board) or the Corporate Compliance Officer should be responsible for investigating such Report, the Audit Committee (or, if applicable, the Presiding Director of the Board) will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the identity of the alleged wrongdoer, the gravity of the alleged wrongdoing, and the likelihood of a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation or financial statements.

 

In connection with the investigation of a Report, the Audit Committee, the Presiding Director of the Board or the Corporate Compliance Officer, as applicable, may consult with, and obtain the assistance of, any member of the Company’s management who is not the subject of the Report. In addition, the Audit Committee, the Presiding Director of the Board or the Corporate Compliance Officer may, in its or his or her sole discretion, engage outside counsel, forensic accountants, and other advisors to assist in the investigation of a report.

 

Upon completion of the investigation of a Report, the Audit Committee, the Presiding Director of the Board or the Corporate Compliance Officer, as the case may be, will take such prompt and appropriate corrective action, if any, as in its or his or her judgment is deemed warranted.

The following additional provisions are applicable to employees located in the European Economic Area only:

 

I.Informing Implicated Person

 

The implicated person that is subject of the Report will be informed as soon as practicably possible after the receipt of the Report, unless there is a substantial risk that such notification would jeopardize the investigation of the Suspected Misconduct or gathering of the evidence.

The notification will not include the identity of the reporting employee.

The implicated person will also be informed as soon as possible whether he/she will be suspended during the investigation of the Suspected Misconduct.

Personal data relating to Reports that have been found unsubstantiated shall be deleted without undue delay. Personal data relating to substantiated Suspected Misconduct will be removed (i.e., deleted or anonymized) within two months after the investigation is completed, unless disciplinary action is taken or judicial proceedings are filed against an implicated person or a reporting employee who submitted the Report in bad faith. In this case, personal data will be removed in accordance with applicable law.
