Application of this Policy
Directors, employees and their Family Members of the company are required to conduct personal trading activities in compliance with securities laws, the company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and this Policy.
This Policy is divided into four parts:
Part I – requirements for all personnel of the company that are subject to this Policy;
Part II – additional requirements for non-employee directors (i.e., in addition to Part I);
Part III – additional requirements with respect to major subsidiaries of the company; and
Part IV – additional requirements for designated employees known as “Covered Persons” (i.e., in addition to Part I).
There are two types of Covered Persons: Investment Access Persons (“IAP”) and Access Persons (“AP”). Each classification of Covered Person is determined by virtue of their position, role, responsibility and/or activities in the company’s sole discretion. If you are designated as an IAP or AP, the company’s Human Resources department (“HR”) will advise you of this.
Lists of all Covered Persons are maintained by Human Resources in Workday. If you have any questions regarding your designation or which rules apply to you, you should seek guidance from the company’s internal legal counsel or compliance department.
Certification and Reporting
Upon joining the company, you will be provided with a copy of this Policy. All Covered Persons will be required to certify annually that they, and their Family Members, have conformed to the requirements of this Policy. Covered Persons may also have ongoing internal or external reporting obligations, as noted in this Policy.
PART I: GENERAL RULES APPLICABLE TO ALL DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES
Securities Laws
Insider Trading
As a rule, if you have “material” “non-public” information about any entity, and if you directly or indirectly through any person acting on your behalf, buy or sell securities of that entity before the information is public or no longer material, then you will have violated securities laws. Such trades are therefore not permitted under this Policy.
Information about an entity is “material” if a reasonable investor would consider it important when deciding to buy, sell or hold that entity’s securities or if the information would reasonably be expected to result in a change in the market price or value of the securities.2
