Insiders must not engage or attempt to engage in Insider Trading or circumvent that obligation by any mean, which includes, improperly disclosing Inside Information or recommending a third
4 party to trade or to cancel or amend an order while in possession of Inside Information (tipping off), or using such a recommendation as referred to above where the employee knows or ought to know that it is based on Inside Information. When in doubt, Insiders should treat non-public information as Inside Information and consult with the Compliance Officer prior to engaging in any transaction. Insiders must not enter transactions that amount to or create the appearance of market manipulation. During a Closed Period, it is not permitted to place, cancel, or modify orders in any Company financial instruments, employee plans that are invested in company securities or any fund which is invested over 10% in Company financial instruments. Any order remaining unexecuted or partially executed must be cancelled prior to the start of any Closed Period. In exceptional circumstances, Insiders may be granted a waiver from the prohibition on trading during a closed provision where such a waiver would be consistent with applicable law. A request for such a waiver must be submitted to Compliance Officer in writing. Insiders should trade in Company financial instruments for investment purposes only. Insiders must not trade so they have a financial interest in Company financial instruments declining in price. Trading derivatives on Company financial instruments is prohibited. Short selling on Company financial instruments is also prohibited. After the execution of a trade in Company financial instruments Insiders are required to promptly report the details of the trade to Compliance Officer. 3.1.1 Gifts of Securities Whether a Gift of Securities is a transaction that should be avoided while the person making the gift is aware of Inside Information or is subject to a Closed Period may depend on various circumstances surrounding the gift. Accordingly, you are encouraged to consult the Compliance Officer when contemplating a gift, and you are required to obtain pre-clearance of the gift if you are subject to trading restrictions. 3.2 Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans Notwithstanding the prohibition against insider trading, SEC Rule 10b5-1 provides an affirmative defense against insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5. A person subject to this Policy can rely on this defense and trade in Company securities, regardless of their awareness of Inside Information, if the transaction occurs pursuant to a pre-arranged written trading plan (“Rule 10b5- 1 Plan”) that was entered into when the person was not in possession of Inside Information and that complies with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1. Insiders subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Section 16 Insiders”) should be aware that the Company will be required to make quarterly disclosures regarding all Rule 10b5-1 Plans entered into, amended or terminated by Section 16 Insiders and to include the material terms of such plans, other than pricing information. Anyone subject to this Policy who wishes to enter into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must submit the Rule 10b5-1 Plan to the Compliance Officer for its approval at least five business days prior to the planned entry into the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. Rule 10b5-1 Plans may not be adopted by a person when he or she is in possession of Inside Information about the Company or its securities and must
5 comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (including specified waiting periods and limitations on multiple overlapping plans and single trade plans). Once the Rule 10b5-1 Plan is adopted, you must not exercise any subsequent influence over the amount of securities to be traded, the price at which they are to be traded or the date of the trade. You may amend or replace a Rule 10b5-1 Plan only during periods when trading is permitted in accordance with this Policy, and you must submit any proposed amendment or replacement of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan to the Compliance Officer for approval prior to adoption. You must provide notice to the Compliance Officer prior to terminating a Rule 10b5-1 Plan. You should understand that a modification or termination of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan may call into question your good faith in entering into and operating the plan (and therefore may jeopardize the availability of the affirmative defense against insider trading allegations) 3.3 Handling of Inside Information 3.3.1 Notification of Inside Information The Compliance Officer shall be notified immediately if any Insider receives or has knowledge of information that could potentially constitute Inside Information and has reason to believe that the Compliance Officer is not familiar with this information. 3.3.2 Measures for protecting Inside Information The following rules apply to the handling of Inside Information regarding for all Insiders: (i) (Technical devices): Insiders must use password protection on PC, tablets, phone, and other electronic devices that contain Inside Information, and passwords must be changed routinely.

Section 3 above, the obligations as set out in this Section 4 applies for the PDMRs. 4.2 Prior to transaction The PDMR and their Persons Closely Associated must notify the Compliance Officer of an intention to trade in a Company financial instrument prior to the execution of the trade or entering a trading plan. A validation is then needed that the PDMR or the Persons Closely Associated, as applicable, has no Inside Information, to protect the PDMR and the Company, and to ensure compliance with MAR and safeguard the reputation of the Company. Transactions may be denied if the PDMR or the Persons Closely Associated, as applicable, is on an insider list or the intended transaction or entering a plan will be in a Closed Period. The Disclosure Committee may be consulted by the Compliance Officer to decide if confidential information is Inside Information. If there is an uncertainty from the Disclosure Committee, external counsel view may be sought. The PDMR may not trade or enter a trading plan until non objection has been received from the Compliance Officer. If the PDMR seeking to trade or enter a trading plan is the CFO, then non objection needs to come from the Chairman. A request to trade may then be placed on the same business day as receiving the non-objection, or by close the following business day if the non-objection is received after 3pm CET. 4.3 Following a transaction PDMRs and Persons Closely Associated with PDMRs must notify both the Compliance Officer and the NFSA of every transaction conducted on their own account relating to Company financial instruments.

Sales by Insiders in the United States who are “affiliates” must comply with US securities laws, and such sales are typically made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

In addition, the Company shall keep a permanent insider list containing the PDMRs. The person responsible for maintaining the list shall ensure that the persons on the list are aware of the fact that they have been entered on the list of insiders, as well as the duties and responsibilities that this entails, and the criminal liability that attaches to misuse or unwarranted use of such information. When a person receives Inside Information for the first time, the list maintainer shall obtain a declaration from him or her to the effect that the recipient is aware of the duties and responsibilities that receipt of such information entails, or by confirming receipt of the notification. 6.4 Project list: information that might develop into Inside Information In instances where discussions and work are being conducted that in the future might develop into Inside Information, it is advisable that a project list is being kept, along the same lines as an insider list. In such projects, all internal and external persons with knowledge of the project shall be added to the list. The purpose of the project list is to raise awareness of the duty of confidentiality and facilitate compliance with statutory listing requirements. The project manager of the specific project is responsible for the keeping of the project list. The project list shall be drawn up from the date of initiation of the project. The list shall be named "project list." Should the information at a later stage be regarded as Inside Information, an insider list, shall replace the project list.
