“All officers and directors shall submit an initial written disclosure statement and thereafter, annual disclosure statements, attesting that: (a) they understand and agree to comply with the conflict of interest policy, and (b) except as specifically described in their disclosure statement, neither they nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their family members had, during the past 12 months been engaged in, or anticipated at any time in the future being engaged in, any conflict of interest. The controller of coti shall be responsible for collecting and reviewing the initial and annual disclosure statements, and at least annually shall submit to the audit committee, a written report listing the conflict of interest disclosed in such statements and the actions, if any, taken by coti in response thereto. In addition to these reporting requirements, whenever key individuals are present at coti meetings where they can reasonably anticipate that final deliberation or voting is about to occur on a matter in which they have a conflict of interest, they shall immediately and fully disclose the conflict of interest to the person chairing the meeting. Key individuals who have disclosed or been found to have a conflict of interest with respect to a particular matter shall refrain from any vote regarding that specific matter, although depending on circumstances such individual may or may not be permitted to participate in the discussion regarding that matter. Failure of any key individuals to comply with this policy, including but not limited to failure to timely submit disclosure statements, will be grounds for removal from office.”
