“A formal conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually by the board of directors to ensure all business relationships are in the best interest of the organization. All the directors, officers and employees ("interested person") complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement upon onboarding and annually thereafter. If an interested person were to enter into a transaction that could potentially result in a conflict of interest, they must notify the audit committee (the "committee") or the compliance officer of the existence of a potential conflict and must disclose all material facts with sufficient time for the committee to meet and deliberate. The interested person shall not enter into any such transaction unless the committee, after reviewing the potential conflict, determines that: (a) the transaction presents no actual conflict or (b) the proposed transaction presents a conflict, but the committee agrees to waive the conflict. Interested persons who anticipate a potential conflict of interest transaction must submit a letter to the compliance officer or audit committee petitioning for a waiver of the conflict of interest presented. The letter should contain a detailed explanation of the nature of the considered transaction or activity. An interested person should not participate in a transaction or activity unless and until he or she obtains a written waiver. For each transaction or activity presented for conflicts assessment, the committee or the compliance officer, as appropriate, shall determine if an actual conflict exists. If it is decided that no conflict exists, the committee or compliance officer shall so notify the interested person in writing. If the committee finds an actual conflict of interest by an interested person upon careful analysis of the relevant factors, the committee may decide to waive the conflict in whole or in part, or the committee may decide to recommend against such waiver.”
