applies to all Calico employees, temps, vendors, visiting scholars, and contractors.</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Calico’s Code of Conduct sets forth the standards by which we conduct our operations. It covers a range of subjects, from the use of Calico funds to conflicts of interest and protection of Calico information. How we conduct our business and how we treat others — our colleagues, suppliers, and business partners — will continue to influence how we feel about Calico and how the world views Calico. We expect all employees to represent Calico in a manner that is consistent with our values.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Employees of Calico should do the right thing — a commitment to integrity, treating each other with respect, acting honestly and ethically, and complying with the letter and intent of the law are critical to our continued success.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We expect all of our employees to know and follow this Code of Conduct.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Calico managers are responsible for ensuring that all employees reporting to them receive the help and advice they need to comply with the Calico Code of Conduct.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have a compliance concern, it is generally best to talk to your manager about it face to face. If you are uncomfortable discussing a compliance concern with your manager, there are several options available to you:</span></p> <ul class="is-style-hr_separated wp-block-list"> <li><a href="mailto:calico-hr@calicolabs.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Contact Calico HR</span></a></li> <li><a href="https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/55509/index.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Calico Helpline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or;</span></li> <li><a href="http://goo.gl/helpline"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alphabet Helpline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://abc.xyz/investor/other/code-of-conduct/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alphabet Guiding Principles</span></a></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any employee who raises a compliance concern in good faith acts in the interest of Calico and deserves support. Calico will not tolerate any retaliation against an employee who raises a compliance concern in good faith.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our daily work, we may face situations from time to time that are not explicitly covered by the Calico Code of Conduct (or other Calico policies and guidelines). If you are unsure about the correct behavior, you should ask yourself the following questions:</span></p> <ul class="is-style-hr_separated wp-block-list"> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Is my behavior legal?</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Is it in line with Calico’s values and principles?</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Does it comply with the Calico Code of Conduct?</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Could it have negative consequences for Calico or myself?</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Would Calico be comfortable if it were reported in the press?</span></li> </ul> <h4 id="heading_block_abf930ad4d7096f9cbb4ca783af2ac41" class="custom_heading from-bottom__0 mt-4 mb-default pt-default pb-default mobile-mt-default mobile-mb-default mobile-pt-default mobile-pb-default h6 align-left align-left-mobile"> I. Avoid Conflicts of Interest </h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A conflict of interest may arise any time competing loyalties could cause you to pursue a personal benefit for you, your friends, or your family at the expense of Calico. Avoid conflicts of interest and circumstances that reasonably appear to be a conflict. Sometimes a situation that previously didn’t present a conflict of interest may develop into one.  When faced with a potential conflict, ask yourself:</span></p> <ul class="is-style-hr_separated wp-block-list"> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would this activity create an actual or apparent benefit for me, my friends, or my family?</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would this activity harm my reputation or hurt my ability to do my job?</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would this activity embarrass Calico or me if it showed up in the press?</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” the relationship or situation is likely to constitute a conflict of interest, and you should avoid it. If you have any questions about this, please speak to management.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you or someone with whom you have a close relationship (e.g., a family member or close companion) has a financial or employment relationship with a competitor or supplier, you must disclose this fact in writing to Human Resources.  You should be aware that if you enter a personal relationship with a subordinate employee, or with an employee of a competitor or supplier, it may result in a conflict of interest. Where the relationship is consensual between Company employees who are peers, each must exercise good judgment and appropriate workplace behavior that does not have a negative impact on other employees or the work environment.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You must carefully consider the potential conflict of interest prior to the acceptance of secondary employment. Professional engagements outside of Calico, including third-party board memberships, can result in conflicts of interest. Calico’s policies with respect to an employee’s ability to accept a board or scientific advisory board (SAB) membership in a third-party company are outlined below:</span></p> <p><strong>Board Membership Matrix</strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-table is-style-regular mt-2"><table><tbody><tr><th> </th><th><strong>Potential/perceived conflict; prospective BOD or SAB member receives (or does not receive) compensation for BOD or SAB service</strong></th><th><strong>No potential/perceived conflict; prospective BOD or SAB member receives (or does not receive) compensation for BOD or SAB service</strong></th></tr><tr><td><strong>For Profit BOD</strong></td><td>BOD membership not permitted</td><td>CEO approval needed, in advance, for BOD membership</td></tr><tr><td><strong>For Profit SAB</strong></td><td>CEO notified in advance, SAB membership not permitted (<em>but</em> if recusal is possible, then membership may be permitted with CEO approval)</td><td>CEO approval needed, in advance, for SAB membership</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Not-For-Profit BOD</strong></td><td>CEO notified in advance, BOD membership not permitted (<em>but</em> if recusal is possible, then membership may be permitted with CEO approval)</td><td>CEO approval needed, in advance, for BOD membership</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Not-For-Profit SAB</strong></td><td>CEO notified in advance, SAB membership not permitted (<em>but</em> if recusal is possible, then membership may be permitted with CEO approval)</td><td>CEO approval needed, in advance, for SAB membership</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <h4 id="heading_block_bc3dde37fabb45a70f34f535dc2ebd26" class="custom_heading from-bottom__0 mt-4 mb-default pt-default pb-default mobile-mt-default mobile-mb-default mobile-pt-default mobile-pb-default h6 align-left align-left-mobile"> II.

Obey the Law </h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Calico employees should comply with all applicable legal requirements and understand the major laws and regulations that apply to their work. A few specific laws are easy to violate unintentionally and are worth pointing out here.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nothing in these policies or any other policy, limits employees’ rights to (1) talk about pay, hours, or other terms of employment or working conditions, or (2) communicate with a government agency or official regarding those topics or any violation of the law.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have any questions about these laws or other laws governing our work, please contact </span><a href="mailto:calico-hr@calicolabs.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">calico-hr@calicolabs.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Trade Controls</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Various trade laws control where we can send or receive our products and services.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These laws are complex and apply to:</span></p> <ul class="is-style-hr_separated wp-block-list"> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">importing and exporting goods to or from the United States and other countries</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">exporting services or providing services to non-U.S. persons</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">exporting or sharing technical data, especially data originating in the U.S.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are involved in sending or making available physical goods, software, technical data, or services from one country to another or to non-U.S. persons regardless of location, work with your manager to ensure that the transaction stays within the bounds of applicable laws.</span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Competition Laws</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be sure you follow all laws designed to promote free and fair competition and protect consumers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These laws generally prohibit:</span></p> <ul class="is-style-hr_separated wp-block-list"> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arrangements with competitors that restrain trade</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abuse of market power to unfairly disadvantage competitors</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Misleading or harming consumers</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Copyright Laws</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Violation of copyrights, patents, trade secrets and the terms of license agreements are prohibited by law under most circumstances.
