“Found in Translation's conflict of interest policy applies to any director, officer, member of a committee of the board of directors or key employee who has a direct or indirect Private Interest (as defined in policy) in a proposed transaction or arrangement involving the corporation. During each Annual Board Meeting, roles for officer seats are determined and conflict of interest statements are collected from all board members. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an Interested Person must disclose the existence of her or his Private Interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement to the Board. After disclosure of the Private Interest and the material facts to the Board or Committee, members shall discuss and vote upon the question of whether a conflict of interest exists. At the request of the chairperson of the Board or Committee, or upon a majority vote of the Board or Committee members (excluding the Interested Person), the Interested Person shall leave the Board or Committee meeting during such discussion and/or vote. A majority vote of the Board or Committee members (excluding the Interested Person) shall be required to determine that a conflict of interest exists or could reasonably be construed to exist. If the Board or Committee has reasonable cause to believe that an Interested Person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall inform the Interested Person of the basis for such belief and afford the Interested Person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the Interested Person and making such further investigation as may be warranted under the circumstances, the Board or Committee determines that the Interested Person has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it may, at its discretion, take appropriate corrective or disciplinary action.”
