Introduction
It is RZOLV Technologies’ objective to maintain the highest standards of ethical business behaviour. Ethical behaviour in the performance of one’s duties essentially comes down to being honest and fair in one’s dealings with other employees, customers, suppliers, competitors, Company stakeholders, and the public. No employee at RZOLV Technologies is ever expected or authorized to commit an illegal or unethical act, or to allow, direct, or encourage others to do so.
RZOLV Technologies’ reputation for business integrity is one of its most valued assets; it was achieved, and is maintained, through the efforts of its employees and their avoidance of any activity or interest that might reflect unfavourably upon the Company’s image or reputation, or their own. Every Company transaction must be able to withstand public scrutiny without risk of causing embarrassment to the Company, its employees, and its stakeholders.
The guidelines and principles set forth herein have been established by management of the Company as a code of business conduct and ethics to be observed by the RZOLV Technologies team (the “employees”) in all jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business unless the laws of those jurisdictions require otherwise.
The Code is approved by RZOLV Technologies’ Board of Directors and, thus, no officer or employee has the authority to allow exceptions to its provisions. Strict adherence to the Code is a condition of employment, and any breach thereof will be cause for appropriate disciplinary action, which may include dismissal.
Any employee who has a concern regarding the application of the Code to a particular action, situation, or transaction should promptly discuss the matter with their immediate supervisor. If the matter is not resolved through this discussion, the employee and the immediate supervisor are expected to raise the issue with higher levels of management or proceed internally through the Company’s Whistleblower Policy.
As no single booklet can define every circumstance that might be considered improper, and no list of do’s and don’ts will address every potential situation in which employees may find themselves, the Code cannot be construed as a comprehensive document. Therefore, above all, employees are expected to use their common sense and good judgment in observing and complying with this Code.
This Code has been adopted by the Board and applies to each employee of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and other senior officers, as well as to the members of the Board. The Code is complimented by other guiding policies including, but not limited to, the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, the Insider Trading Policy, the Whistleblower Policy, the Media Relations and Disclosure Policy, and the Social Media Policy.
The Compliance Officer for the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is the CFO.

Conflicting Personal Interests
There are many situations in which personal interests may conflict with those of RZOLV Technologies and cause members of RZOLV Technologies to give preference to personal interests in situations where corporate responsibilities should come first. For example:
-

-
Serving as a director or officer of, or working as an employee or consultant for, a competitor or an actual or potential business partner of the Corporation;
-
Investing in, or trading in the securities of, a competitor, supplier, customer or an actual or potential business partner of the Corporation where such investment or trading may influence business decisions or compromise independent judgment; and
-
Participating in another business interest or activity that deprives the Corporation of the time or attention required to perform duties properly or creates an obligation or distraction which impairs the exercise of independent judgment, fiduciary responsibility, initiative, or efficiency in acting on behalf of the Corporation.
Before participating in any outside business interest in any manner that could give rise to such a conflict of interest – either real or perceived – individuals should first disclose that interest to the Corporation and obtain approval to pursue such interest. Employees of RZOLV Technologies should always err on the side of caution.

This also applies to anyone representing a competitor of the Corporation if it could reasonably be extravagant for the recipient or otherwise improperly influencing the business relationship of the Corporation with, or create an obligation to, the recipient.
This prohibition does not prevent employees from accepting or providing modest gifts or entertainment that are customarily provided to foster important business relationships and that do not (and could not reasonably be perceived to) influence business decisions or compromise independent judgment.
Employees should refer to the Gifts Policy in the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy for additional principles regarding the giving and receiving of gifts.

-
Security breach – personal devices are more likely to be vulnerable to a security breach than devices protected by company IT protocols.
Confidential and Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets
During the course of working for RZOLV Technologies, employees may have access to information relating to the Corporation, including financial and strategic information, information concerning employees, customers and other third parties with which RZOLV Technologies deals, as well as other information that is not available to the general public (through a press release or other public filing).

-
Transmission of documents via electronic means should be made only where the transmission can be made and received under secure conditions;
