“As the Trustee of the Leon Karelitz Charitable Trust, The Kansas University Endowment Association (KU Endowment) operates under a conflict of interest policy, which is as follows: 1. Duty to Disclose a. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must promptly disclose the existence and all material facts about the nature of his or her financial interests to the Executive Committee or the other members of committees with Executive Committee-delegated powers prior to such committee authorizing or approving KU Endowment or one of its subsidiaries entering into or negotiating a proposed transaction or arrangement. b. Unless previously disclosed in accordance with this Policy, in connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must promptly disclose the existence and all material facts about the nature of his or her financial interests to the Executive Committee or the President of KU Endowment whenever such person becomes aware that (i) KU Endowment or one of its subsidiaries already has an existing transaction or arrangement in which such interested person has or is acquiring a financial interest or (ii) the Executive Committee, a committee with Executive Committee-delegated authority or any officer of KU Endowment or one of its subsidiaries is deliberating about or deciding whether to take an action or to refrain from taking an action with respect to a transaction or arrangement with respect to which such interested person has a financial interest. 2. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists After disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person shall leave, or not attend, as the case may be, any portion of a meeting of the Executive Committee or committee with Executive Committee-delegated powers while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining members of such committee. The remaining Executive Committee members or committee members, as the case may be, shall decide if a conflict of interest exists and, if so, will address it. 3. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest a. The chairperson of the Executive Committee or committee with Executive Committee-delegated powers shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement or, in the case of an existing transaction or arrangement, taking or refraining from taking action with respect to such existing transaction or arrangement. b. After exercising due diligence, the Executive Committee or committee with Executive Committee-delegated powers shall determine whether KU Endowment can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. c. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the Executive Committee or committee with Executive Committee-delegated powers shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested members whether or not: (i) the transaction or arrangement, or the action or refraining from taking action, as the case may be, is in KU Endowment's best interests; (ii) the transaction or arrangement or action or refraining from taking action, as the case may be, is for KU Endowment's own benefit; (iii) the transaction or arrangement or action or refraining from taking action, as the case may be, is fair and reasonable to KU Endowment; and (iv) to enter into the transaction or arrangement or take or refrain from taking action, as the case may be, in conformity with such determinations. 4. Violations of the Conflict of Interest Policy a. If the Executive Committee or committee with Executive Committee-delegated powers has reasonable cause to believe that an individual is an interested person who has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interes”
