Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Policies

Denysys’s policies for employees and directors regarding avoiding a conflict of interest and maintaining confidentiality assure ethical business practices in a secure, productive work environment.

Confidentiality Obligation
Denysys employees and directors may not disclose or use confidential Denysys information for their own benefit or in any way that negatively affects Denysys. Examples of confidential information include trade secrets, new product ideas, source code, processes, formulas, data, techniques and customer lists. Additional details regarding employee obligations are provided in the Employment and Confidential Agreement that all potential Denysys employees are required to execute in order to be employed by Denysys.

Avoiding a Conflict of Interest
All Denysys employees and members of their immediate family are to avoid situations that may create any actual or potential conflict between their personal interests and those of Denysys. This includes not making a significant investment in, or accepting employment from a customer, supplier or competitor of Denysys that could influence business transactions with Denysys. Additionally, neither Denysys employees, nor members of their immediate family, should seek or accept any loan or guarantee, or accept major gifts, payments or other favors from a customer, supplier or competitor. However, it may be appropriate on occasion for Denysys employees to accept or provide nominal or promotional gifts or business amenities as part of our ongoing business relationships with customers, suppliers and vendors. Such gifts or amenities may include a business meal, entertainment or other types of gift or service. Whenever you provide or receive a gift or business amenity in the course of Denysys business, please tell your manager or check with the Denysys legal counsel.

Situations Requiring Review and Permission
Denysys employees may not accept a second job, directorship or consulting arrangement without the prior written permission of the president. If you are interested in participating on an industry technical advisory committee, please consult with your manager or the company’s legal counsel prior to joining. Also, employees may not conduct Denysys business with a family member without prior written permission from senior management.

Reporting a Conflict of Interest
