The Whistleblowing Policy (Reporting of Fraudulent or Dishonest Acts)

The Board understands the need to establish a suitable framework for whistleblowing that allows directors, officers, employees and third parties to freely communicate their concerns about illegal or unethical practices, without fear of retaliation and to have direct access to an independent member of the Board or a unit created to handle whistleblowing concerns. It is for this reason that the Whistle Blower Policy was adopted, which aims to allow directors, officers, employees and even third parties to freely communicate their concerns about illegal or unethical practices, without fear of retaliation, and provides mechanisms on supervising and ensuring its enforcement. The Whistle Blower Policy supports and implements the policy on Honesty and Fair Dealing contained in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. 

All Whistle blower complaints and reports including the identity of the whistle blower, witnesses and employees named in the Complaint and the report, as well as the activities and investigations undertaken pursuant to this Policy, will be treated in a confidential and sensitive manner, unless the Company is otherwise required or compelled by law or order of competent authority to release the information.
