KELLANOVA POLICY
Insider Trading
If a director, officer or any employee has material non-public information relating to the Company, it is Company policy that neither that person nor any related person may buy or sell securities of the Company or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information. This policy also applies to information relating to other companies, including our customers or suppliers, obtained during the course of employment.
Additional Guidance
The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for those employed by or associated with the Company to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities or in other transactions in the Company’s securities that may lead to inadvertent violations of the insider trading laws. As such directors, officers and other employees may not engage in any transaction in which they may profit from short-term speculative swings in the value of the Company’s securities. This includes “short sales” (selling borrowed securities which the seller hopes can be purchased at a lower price in the future) or “short sales against the box” (selling owned, but not delivered securities), “put” and “call” options (publicly available rights to sell or buy securities within a certain period of time at a specified price or the like) and hedging transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. Directors and officers may not pledge shares or enter into any risk hedging arrangements with respect to Kellanova stock. In addition, directors and officers may not hold Kellanova stock in a margin account or pledge Kellanova stock as collateral for a loan.
Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency
expenditure) are no exception. Even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve our reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.
Material Information
Material information is any information that a reasonable investor would consider important in a decision to buy, hold or sell stock. In short, any information which could reasonably affect the price of the stock.
Common examples of information that will frequently be regarded as material are:
a)Company financial results and dividends
b)Significant management changes
c)New business relationships
d)New product launches
e)Important developments in litigation
f)Anticipated mergers, acquisitions or divestitures.
Twenty-twenty Hindsight
Remember, if securities transactions become the subject of scrutiny, they will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, before engaging in any transaction, you should carefully consider how regulators and others might view your transaction in hindsight.
Transactions by Family Members
The very same restrictions apply to family members and others living in your household. Employees are expected to be responsible for the compliance of their immediate family and personal household.
“Tipping” Information to Others
Whether the information is proprietary information about the Company or information that could have impact on the
