“The persons covered under the Allen Institute conflict of interest policy are the Institute's Board of Directors, principal officers, and key employees. The Allen Institute places upon all persons covered under the policy, a duty to disclose any actual or possible conflicts of interest to the Board of Directors. Furthermore, covered persons annually affirm that they have read and agree to comply with the policy. After disclosure of an actual or possible conflict, persons with a conflict shall be excused from the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction involving the possible conflict. The remaining disinterested Directors will determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict is found, the Board Chairperson, if appropriate, will appoint a disinterested person to investigate alternatives to the transaction that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If any alternative transactions are not reasonable, the board shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested Directors whether the conflicted transaction is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the Institute.”
