Only authorized persons are permitted to conduct corporate communications with investment analysts, investors, and
other market professionals. These activities include email communications, telephone conversations, one-on-one
meetings, presentations, and other communications. The persons authorized to make such communications are the
Company’s CEO, CFO and Investor Relations staff.
In the interest of fair disclosure and to mitigate the risk of inadvertent disclosure of material information, or
the appearance of doing so, the Company will observe “Quiet Periods” and “Silent Periods” prior to its issuance of
earnings releases, during which company personnel will be limited in conducting corporate communications. The “Quiet
Period” begins two weeks prior to the end of the quarter and continues until the commencement of the “Silent
Period.” The “Silent Period” is the two weeks preceding the Company’s issuance of an earnings release.
During the “Quiet Period” only the Vice President of Investor Relations (and not other senior management) will
provide any corporate communications including responding to unsolicited correspondence from, engaging in one-on-one
meetings and discussions with, or otherwise having private communications regarding the Company with, analysts,
investors and other market professionals. However, an exception to this rule during the Quiet Period may be utilized
for the CEO and CFO for communications regarding the Company with analysts, investors and other market professionals
as long as at least one additional authorized person (CEO, CFO, or Vice President of Investor Relations) is also in
attendance. In all such cases, only otherwise publicly available historic information will be disclosed. During the
Silent Period, no Company personnel will engage in any such corporate communications.
This Policy does not apply to public disclosures in accordance with Regulation FD that are authorized by the CEO or
CFO.
