“Bas has adopted a conflict of interest policy to set forth procedures for monitoring, reporting and reviewing and oversight, review, approval and/or ratification of, any action taken in connection with, conflicts of interest and related party transactions. This policy applies to any person who, at any time during the past five (5) years, was: (1) a director of the sanctuary or any affiliate of the sanctuary; (2) an officer of the sanctuary or of an affiliate of the sanctuary; (3) an employee of the sanctuary or of an affiliate of the sanctuary; (4) any relative of those persons listed in (1), (2), and (3) above; (5) any entity in which any of the persons listed above has a thirty-five (35) percent or greater ownership or beneficial interest; (6) a substantial contributor. Definition of conflict of interest a conflict of interest arises whenever the interests of the sanctuary come into conflict with a financial or personal interest of a covered person, or otherwise whenever a covered person's personal or financial interest could be reasonably viewed as affecting their objectivity or independence in fulfilling their duries to the sanctuary. Each current director, officer and employee of the sanctuary, as applicable, including nominees for election as director (prior to their initial election), must submit to the board at least once per year a completed conflict of interest questionnaire. Review and approval of conflicts of interest the board will review all conflicts of interest and determine whether to approve or ratify any such matters. The board may only approve the underlying matter if it determines that such matter, under the terms and within the circumstances and conditions presented, is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the sanctuary. The approval of any matter that is the subject of this policy shall require the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of disinterested directors present and voting at the meeting. Persons with an interest in any matter under review by the board are not permitted to be present at or participate in any deliberations or voting by the board with respect to the matter giving rise to the potential conflict and must not attempt to influence improperly the deliberation or voting on such matter. Records the minutes of the board meeting during which a potential or actual conflict of interest is disclosed or discussed shall be documented contemporaneously with the meeting and reflect the name of the interested person, the nature of the conflict, details of the deliberations of the disinterested directors and the resolution of the conflict.”
