Acting with Integrity Never accept or provide a gift – which means anything of value, such as a present, money, favor, travel, or entertainment -- if it will obligate, or appear to obligate, the receiver. We prohibit the following, whether for yourself or for II-VI: • Giving or accepting inappropriate, lavish, or repeated gifts, even acceptable by local custom. • Asking for gifts, services, or contributions from vendors, suppliers, or other business partners. As a rule, when giving or receiving gifts, you should always ask yourself, “how would it look if this was publicized on social media, television, or in the newspaper?” If the answer is “not good for the Company or me,” then you should not give or receive the gift. Remember that the employees of government entities around the world are typically prohibited from accepting even modest gifts or entertainment. If you deal with government officials as a part of your job, read and follow II-VI’s Global Code of Conduct and Policy Statements for Working with Governments. CODE PROVISION AIDS FOR UNDERSTANDING Q. As part of my job at II-VI, I interact with customers, and from time to time I take them to lunch or dinner. Is this ok? A. Taking a customer to a reasonably priced meal is often a common expression of courtesy and not an attempt to influence a business decision. However, the meals or entertainment should not be frequent, and should not go beyond a simple expression of courtesy and respect. V.3. Gifts and Entertainment AIDS FOR UNDERSTANDING Q. My job is in a laboratory. How does this apply to me? A. If you have information about II-VI that is not available to the public, and that an investor in II-VI would want to know in deciding to buy or sell in II-VI stock, then insider trading laws apply to you. We keep the trust of our investors and the public by respecting financial laws. This means that you do not trade in II-VI stock or other securities based on material information that the public does not have access to, but which you do. We also do not share this information.
