The following Policy demonstrates that Cigalah strives to achieve highest ethical business conduct and compliance with all laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on payments to any third party (in particular Government Officials) which may be directly applicable to Cigalah as well as compliance with the United States of America Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and/or the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act which may apply to “Cigalah” principals.

This Policy strives to not only protect the interests of Cigalah and its employees, directors and officers, but to also protect the interests of Cigalah’s business partners, especially those of healthcare professionals (“HCPs”) and Cigalah principals.

Violations of this policy will be grounds for disciplinary action.

Please note that Cigalah may revise any part of this policy from time to time when necessary.

1. SCOPE:

It is the policy of Cigalah to use only ethical business practices. As part of that commitment, Cigalah gives itself strict rules on payments (including benefits in money’s worth) of any kind to any third party, in particular to Government Officials, by Cigalah employees, directors and officers. The provision of a payment or anything of value to, for the benefit of, or at the request of a third party:
• May only be made for a bona fide and legitimate business purpose.

• May not be made with an intent to influence the third party inappropriately.

• May not be in exchange for the award of business or other unfair / improper advantage.

• Must not be extravagant.

• Must be provided openly and transparently.

• Must be properly recorded and adequately documented.

This Policy will help ensure compliance with all applicable rules and regulations which prohibit or restrict the provision of payments or other things of value, directly or indirectly, to any third party, in particular to Government Officials.
Compliance with the content of this Policy is the responsibility of all employees, directors, and officers of Cigalah.

2. DEFINITIONS:

A. “GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL”

Includes but is not limited to:
• Any elected or appointed official of a federal, state, local or municipal government (including, presidents, ministers, royalty, members of parliaments or legislatures, governors, mayors, etc.).

• Directors, officers or employees of any rank or level of a governmental institution, department, agency, or institution, including, amongst others, government owned or controlled enterprises (including, amongst others, physicians, other HCPs, academics employed by government owned or controlled hospitals or other institutions, and employees of state run health insurers).

All prohibited payments under this Policy to individual Government Officials shall also be strictly prohibited to be made to any entity, including government department or agencies, state-owned companies or enterprises, or other public instrumentalities.

3. UNDERLYING ANTI- CORRUPTION PRINCIPLES:

Saudi Arabia and many other countries throughout the world have adopted laws, rules, regulations or codes of conduct that shall prohibit companies from engaging in any corrupt practices, including but not limited to paying bribes to (foreign or domestic) Government Officials or other third parties in the private sector for the purpose of obtaining business (as defined below):

A. PROHIBITED PAYMENTS:

No Cigalah employee, director or officer may “corruptly” offer, pay, promise to pay, reward or promise to reward or authorize the giving of anything of value (“Payments”), directly or indirectly, to any third party for the purpose of:
• Persuading, inducing or influencing any act or decision within the scope of authority of that third party, including (but not limited to), if applicable, selecting which products to purchase, prescribe or use.

• Persuading, inducing or influencing such third party:
a. To do or refrain from doing any act in violation of his or her lawful duty or
b. To abuse his or her position to influence any act or decision

• Securing any improper advantage.

• Giving unwarranted benefits or preference to such third party.

Such payments are prohibited without regard to the question whether there is a pending, a future or a concluded business matter between Cigalah to and the third party.
A “corrupt” Payment is one made with an improper motive, involving the intent to achieve an unlawful objective or to achieve a lawful objective through unlawful means.
This principle applies to any direct relationship (Cigalah – third party).
This Policy also prohibits Cigalah employees, directors and officers from receiving corrupt payments in connection with Cigalah business.
B. ACCURATE BOOKS AND RECORDS:
In order to create highest transparency with regard to all Payments to any third party Cigalah must maintain accurate books and records. As such, each transaction entered into by Cigalah must have proper internal authorization and approval. All expenditures, including (but not limited to) expenditures for gifts or business entertainment, must be accurately reported and recorded, and all accounting records, expense reports, invoices, vouchers and other business records must be accurately completed and properly maintained. False or misleading entries and undisclosed or unrecorded payments or accounts are strictly prohibited, as are any acts intended to circumvent or frustrate the operation of Cigalah’s internal accounting controls.

4. PROCESSES:

A. GENERAL INFORMATION:

B. INTERACTIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES:

In all cases, interactions between Cigalah and third parties must be consistent with “Saudi Arabia” laws and regulations, applicable industry association codes and other applicable Cigalah policies and procedures.

In addition, the following requirements generally apply to the more common types of such interactions:

A. Travel and Hospitality:

Expenditures associated with travel, hospitality, meals or entertainment for third parties must meet the following criteria:
(1) Be directly related but secondary to the promotion, demonstration or explanation to a third party of Cigalah principal’s products or services or the execution or performance of a contract with or for a third party.

(2) With respect to accommodation, be provided in hotels of not higher than good international quality, i.e. without luxury status (necessary cost of accommodation; adequate and appropriate accommodation).

(10) Be properly recorded and adequately documented.

(1) Stem from a legitimate need for the service, with such services provided by someone qualified to meet such need.

(2) Involve remuneration commensurate to the services provided.

(3) If required by Cigalah law, be preceded by notice to the employer or supervisor of the person(s) whose services will be engaged as set forth in Section (a) sub-section (6) above,

(4) If involving travel, lodging or other expenditures, should be in conformity with the parameters outlined in this Section 4.B.

D. Medical Ghost-Writing:

Special attention shall be given to so-called “medical ghost-writing”, i.e. where pharmaceutical companies pay professional writers or agencies to produce scientific papers and then include the name of one or more HCPs in the list of authors of these papers before they are published in medical or scientific journals.

(4) In case of educational grants providing for scholarships or participation to similar long-term programs, the public institution should select the HCPs who will be invited to participate.

(5) Any grant to both public and private institutions that is suggested by a Government Official of a public institution who is in a position to influence Cigalah business interests must be avoided.

G. Political Contributions

No corporate funds, facilities or services of any kind may be paid or furnished to any political candidate for public office, to any political party or to any political initiative, referendum or other form of political campaign except in accordance with Saudi Arabia law. All such expenditures must be approved in advance.

H. Facilitation Payments

“Facilitating Payments” are small payments to a Government Official to expedite or secure performance of a routine governmental action that is non-discretionary, and for which a small payment is necessary to get or expedite the requested action.

Cigalah employees are encouraged to discuss, in a timely manner, with their supervisor and management questions or concerns that relate to issues covered by this Policy. Cigalah appoints a “compliance/legal officer” for compliance matters.
