Part 2 Corporate Governance

11. Political activities

Directors, executives, and employees have the liberty and rights to exercise their right to take part in political
activities as stipulated in the constitutional article, for example casting a ballot or being a member of a political
party. Neither must they falsely claim the status of company staff nor take any asset, equipment, or machine from
the company for use in facilitating action nor be cautious in taking any action which may give rise to the
understanding that the company is involved in extending support or aligned with a particular political party,
whereupon the company adopts a policy of political neutrality by not extending support or taking action through
which shows an alignment with any political party or any politician. In light of this, staff should refrain from supporting
political activities whether in the form of cash or any other forms given to any political party, politician, or candidate
for political election. The restrictions also include lending or donating equipment for use in providing technological
service free of charge as well as giving away office time.

It is required that directors, executives, and employees first resign from the company and effectively left the service
of the company prior to taking up any political position or applying to be a political candidate in a local or national
election.

12. Conflict of interests
Working for the Company can lead to a situation whereby the personal interests of directors, executives and
employees are in conflict with company interests. Such conflicts may arise in many forms. The Company, thereby,
sets up guidelines that everyone ought to follow:
12.1 Taking money or emoluments

Directors, executives, and employees must not take money or any emoluments in private from the customers
or business partners of the company or any person as a result of working for the company.

Directors, executives, and employees must not lend or borrow or solicit the money or any object from customers
or those who conduct business with the company with the exception that the borrowing is from the commercial
bank or financial institute as customers of the commercial bank or financial institute just mentioned.

12.2 Conducting other businesses outside the Company
Conducting private business by directors, executives, and staff must not affect them in performing their duties
and working hours. Conducting business or taking part in business that is a competition against the business
of companies in the Group is prohibited without regard to directors, executives, and staff receiving direct or
indirect benefits.

12.3 Conducting any business with companies in Group
Conducting any business with companies whether in own name, the name of the family or any juristic person
where executives or staff stand to gain or lose requires the disclosure of the status in standing to gain or lose
prior to conducting the business.

Directors, executives, and employees with the status in standing to gain or to lose are prohibited from approving
any transaction agreement or taking any action on behalf of the company.
