“Per the organization's policy: you are required to disclose in good faith and in writing to the committee at the organization's headquarters all material facts related to conflicts of interest (including those that implicate an other related party but not a covered person) (including the nature of your or the other related party's interest and information about any proposed transaction or other arrangement). Disclosures should be made in advance, before any action is taken on the matter. Conflict identification and analysis can be difficult and, therefore, you are at all times expected to err on the side of caution and disclose all instances where a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict exists. Each current director, officer and key person of the organization, as well as nominees for election as director (prior to his or her initial election), must submit to the secretmy of the organization or a designated compliance officer at least once per year (and updated as appropriate) a questionnaire substantially in the form of the appendix to this policy. The secretary of the organization or the designated compliance officer shall provide copies of all completed statements to the chair of the committee. The committee will review all conflicts of interest and related party transactions and determine whether to approve or ratify any such matters; however, a transaction with a related party may proceed without committee review if the transaction: (i) is of limited monetary value; (ii) would not usually be reviewed by the board in the ordinary course of business and is available to others on the same or similar terms; or (iii) provides a charitable benefit to a member of a charitable class where the benefit is available to others on similar terms. The committee 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 organization at the time of such determination.”
