ETHICAL STANDARDS
1) Conflict of Interests
A conflict of interest exists when a person’s private interest interferes in any way with the interests of the
Company. A conflict can arise when a Covered Party takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to
perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively.
Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with your
supervisor or manager or, if circumstances warrant, the chief financial officer or chief legal officer of the
Company. Any Covered Party who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the
attention of a supervisor, manager or other appropriate personnel or consult the procedures described in
Section E of this Code.
All directors and executive officers of the Company ( and the chief executive officers and chief financial officers
of Troy Precious Metals Trading Inc’s Branches) shall disclose any material transaction or relationship that
reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict to the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee.
No action may be taken with respect to such transaction or party unless and until such action has been
approved by the Audit Committee
2) Fair Dealing
Covered Parties shall behave honestly and ethically at all times and with all people. They shall act in good faith,
with due care, and shall engage only in fair and open competition, by treating ethically competitors,
suppliers, customers, and colleagues. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that
was obtained without the owner’s consent, or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other
companies is prohibited. No Covered Party should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation,
concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair practice.
3) Confidentiality
Covered Parties must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them, except when
disclosure is authorized by an appropriate legal officer of the Company or required by laws or regulations.
Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to the
Company or its customers if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers and customers have entrusted to the Company. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.
4) Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations
Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which the Company’s ethical standards are built.
In conducting the business of the Company, the Covered Parties shall comply with applicable governmental
laws, rules and regulations at all levels of government in the Republic of Turkey. Although not all Covered
Parties are expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough about the applicable local
and national laws to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel.
