It applies to all SIFCO employees in all divisions, without exception. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">It is SIFCO&#8217;s policy to conduct all business according to the highest ethical standards of conduct. Each employee is responsible for maintaining these high standards by, among other things, doing his or her job without an actual or apparent conflict of interest, maintaining the confidentiality of Company information, complying with all applicable laws and regulations, protecting Company property, and treating others fairly and honestly. These responsibilities are discussed in more detail in the Code itself. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">As a condition of employment with SIFCO, every employee must strictly obey this Code of Ethics and any underlying policies and procedures. Any employee who knows or suspects a violation of the Code must promptly report it (see &#8220;Reporting of Violations&#8221;). Further, no supervisory employee shall knowingly fail to prevent an employee from taking action that is in violation of this Code. When in doubt, employees have the responsibility to seek clarification from their immediate supervisor, the Human Resources Department, or a Corporate Officer. Violations of the Code of Ethics are subject to corrective action, up to and including termination.</font></div><div style="line-height:180%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">I.

It is not possible to specify every action that may present a conflict of interest, however this policy will outline some situations that frequently present problems. For purposes of this policy, a &#8220;supplier&#8221; includes those providing not only goods, but also services, such as consultants, transportation companies, financial institutions, equipment lessors and technology licensers. A &#8220;customer&#8221; includes not only those who purchase SIFCO&#8217;s regular products or services, or license its technology, but also those who can exercise major influence on SIFCO&#8217;s customers. </font></div><div style="line-height:180%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">Outside Employment or Activity</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Full-time employees are hired and continue in SIFCO Industries&#8217; employ with the understanding that SIFCO is their primary employer.

The laws and regulations with which each department and location must comply will vary. You are responsible for knowing the specific laws and regulations that affect your job and location.

No employees may engage in the making of false or fictitious entries in Company books or records (including employee timesheets) with respect to Company transactions or the disposition of Company assets. Furthermore, all transactions should be recorded in accordance with standard procedures, into accounts that fairly reflect the true nature of the transaction.

Material information may include, but is not limited to, annual and quarterly earnings results, projections of future earnings or losses, changes in the Company&#8217;s dividend policy, changes in management and significant acquisitions or dispositions.

The Company strictly prohibits any sort of intimidation of or retaliation against an employee for making a report based on a good faith belief that a violation did or could potentially occur, and any such intimidating or retaliatory behavior will be subject to corrective action up to and including termination. Similarly, an employee who files a false report with malicious intent and without a good faith belief that a violation did or could potentially occur will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">VII.

They are also responsible for answering any questions or investigating any concerns that arise from their subordinates. If the question or concern cannot be adequately addressed by the manager, the manager is responsible for escalating the concern to the appropriate next- level manager, or directly to the Human Resources Department. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">All employees, officers and directors are responsible for following this Code of Ethics at all times. Generally, there should be no waivers to this Code. However, in rare circumstances conflicts may arise that necessitate waivers. Waivers for employees other than directors and Senior Financial Officers will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Corporate Human Resources Department, with the advice of external legal counsel as necessary. Waivers for directors and Senior Financial Officers may only be approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and must be appropriately disclosed to the public. Senior Financial Officers are those who hold the positions of Chairman, CEO, President, COO, CFO, Treasurer, Corporate Controller, Business Unit General Manager, and Business Unit Controller. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Human Resources Department will be responsible for determining appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination, which may arise from the administration of the Code of Ethics. The appropriate discipline will be determined based on the severity of the action taken and the actual or potential impact to the Company. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div>	</body>
