Materiality involves a relatively low threshold and information is generally regarded as "material" if it has market significance - that is, if its public dissemination is likely to affect the market price of securities, or if it otherwise is information that a reasonable investor would want to know before making an investment decision. To be "public," the information must have been disseminated in a manner designed to reach investors generally, and the investors must be given the opportunity to absorb the information. The fact that information has been disclosed to a few members of the public does not make it public for insider trading purposes. The prohibition on the use of such information applies to any Director or Associate at any level within the Company and extends to persons not employed by the Company if they have access to such information, including if such persons are &#8220;tipped&#8221; by a Director or Associate. This same prohibition applies to trading in the stock of other publicly held companies on the basis of material non-public information gained through position with the Company.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">Directors or Associates who have access to such information are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose, except to conduct the Company&#8217;s business. Financial information regarding the Company is not to be communicated in any way to any person unless it has been published in reports to the Company&#8217;s shareholders or otherwise made generally available to the public. Information is made generally available to the public after the information has been disseminated to the public for at least two full business days. This does not preclude communication of information necessary for continuing operations to Associates or Directors. All non-public information, regardless of its materiality, about the Company should be considered Confidential Information.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">Anyone considering buying or selling stock because of inside information they possess should assume that such information is material and nonpublic.
