OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
I. Purpose of Code of Ethics The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to promote the honest and ethical conduct of our Senior Executives and Financial Officers, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. To provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents required to be filed or submitted to governmental agencies or in public communications made by AmeraMex International (the “Company”), and to promote compliance with all applicable rules and regulations that apply to the Company and its officers.
II. Reporting and Accountability Any Senior Executive who becomes aware of any existing or potential breach of this Code of Ethics is required to notify the Board of Directors promptly. The Board shall take all action it considers appropriate to investigate any breaches reported to it. III. Introduction The Code of Ethics is applicable to the Company’s chief executive officer, president, vice president, chief financial officer, and non-independent members of the board of directors (the “Senior Executives”). As senior members of the Company’s management these individuals are an example for all other employees and are expected to foster a culture of transparency, integrity and honesty.
IV. Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest occurs when a Senior Executive’s private interests interfere, or appear to interfere, in any way, with the interests of the Company as a whole. Conflicts of interest can also arise when a Senior Executive takes action, or they or a member of their family have interests that may make it difficult for the Senior Executive to perform their duties to the Company effectively. Effective disclosure of conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest and appropriate approval or waiver will be deemed to have been made if reported to the Board of Directors and approval is obtained from the Board.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of examples to illustrate actual or apparent conflicts of interest that should be avoided:
Improper Personal Benefits from the Company Conflicts of interest arise when a Senior Executive or a member of their family receives improper personal benefits as a result of their position in the Company. Senior Executives may not accept any benefits from the Company that have not been duly authorized and approved pursuant to Company policy and procedure, including any Company loans or guarantees of personal obligations.
Financial Interests in Other Businesses Senior executives should avoid holding or owning a substantial interest in any enterprise, which is a competitor, customer or a supplier, or acts as a consultant to or is employed by a customer or supplier, unless the Senior Executive has disclosed such interest to the Company and has obtained approval from the Board of Directors. However, it is not considered a conflict of interest to make investments in competitors, clients or suppliers that are listed on a national securities exchange so long as the total value of the investment is less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of the corporation and the amount of the investment is not significant that it would affect business judgment on behalf of the Company.
Business Agreements with the Company Without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, a Senior Executive may not participate in a joint venture, partnership or other business arrangement with the Company.
Corporate Opportunities A business or investment opportunity developed through the use of Company property or information or the position of the Senior Executive may not be acted upon without the prior written approval of the Company. Such an opportunity should be considered a business or investment opportunity for the Company in the first instance.
Outside Employment or Activities with a Competitor Simultaneous employment with or serving as a director of a competitor of the Company is strictly prohibited, as is any activity that is intended to or that would reasonably be expected to advance a competitors interests at the expense of the Company’s interests. Senior Executives may not market products or services in competition with the Company’s current or potential business activities.
Outside Employment with a Supplier Without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, Senior Executives may not be a supplier or be employed by, serve as a director of or represent a supplier to the Board of Directors. Without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, Senior Executives may not accept money or benefits of any kind from a third party as compensation or payment for any advice or services to a client, supplier or anyone else in connection with its business with the Company.
Family Members Working in the Industry Senior Executives must disclose to the Board of Directors any case where a spouse or significant other, children, parent, in-law, or someone else with whom there is a familial relationship is a competitor or supplier of the Company or is employed by one so that the Company may assess their nature and extent of any concern and how it can be resolved.
Disclosure of Confidential Information Senior Executives must safeguard confidential information and use such information only for the purpose for which it was developed or given. Confidential and proprietary information about the Company, its customers, suppliers, competitors, and business partners must be respected and protected.
Inside Information – Securities Except as is required or necessary in the course of their duties on behalf of the Company, Senior Executives may not use or pass on nonpublic, material information about the Company or its business partners acquired during the course of business. Senior Executives may not trade in any securities based upon such nonpublic, material information. Material information is any information that an investor might consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold securities.
Accurate Periodic Reports and Other Public Communications Securities Exchange Commission rules require full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our periodic reports and other public communications. The Company has established the following guidelines to ensure the quality of our periodic reports: · All Company accounting records, as well as reports produced from those records, must be kept and presented in accordance with the laws of each applicable jurisdiction. · All records must fairly and accurately reflect the transactions or occurrences to which they relate. · All records must fairly and accurately reflect in reasonable detail the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. · The Company’s accounting records must not contain any false or intentionally misleading entries. · No transactions may be intentionally misclassified as to accounts, departments or accounting periods or in any other manner. · All transactions must be supported by accurate documentation in reasonable detail and recorded in the proper account and in the proper accounting period. · Except as approved by the Board of Directors, no information may be concealed from the internal auditors or the independent auditors. · Compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the Company’s system of internal accounting controls is required at all times.
V. Compliance with Laws and Ethics Code Senior Executives are expected to comply with both the letter and spirit of all applicable governmental rules and regulations and this Code, and to report any suspected violations of applicable governmental rules and regulations or this Code of Ethics to the Board of Directors through the use of the Company’s confidential and anonymous compliance procedure for reporting ethics violations (i.e. the Whistleblower Policy). Failure to comply with this Code of Ethics or any applicable laws or regulations may result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate discharge without notice.
