Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers, Employees, Directors and Consultants

 

On June 10, 2020, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Toga Limited (the “Company”) adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which will become effective upon stockholder approval. The purpose of the Plan is to foster the growth and success of the Company by providing a means to attract, motivate and retain key employees, directors and contractors (“Participants”) through awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards and restricted stock units in the Company (collectively, “Awards”).

 

Under the terms of the Plan, Awards to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) may be granted to eligible Participants. The Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Board, or any committee of directors designated by the Board and their respective delegates, as described in the Plan.

 

The Plan provides that the aggregate number of Shares subject to Awards granted under the Plan during any fiscal year to any one employee shall not exceed forty thousand (40,000) Shares, or if an Award is settled in cash, the maximum amount of any cash award allocable to any one employee during a single fiscal year shall not exceed the then-current fair market value of such Shares.

 

The Plan provides that the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan through incentive stock options (intended to qualify as such within the meaning of Section 422 of the Interval Revenue Code, “Incentive Stock Options”) shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to or delivered under Awards granted under the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time under the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the designation “Incentive Stock Option” in an option agreement, if and to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the recipient during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any of its subsidiaries) exceeds U.S. $100,000, such options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options under the Plan. The Plan also provides that the aggregate fair market value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any non-employee director of the Company during any single calendar year shall not exceed two thousand (2,000) Shares, or if an Award is settled in cash, the maximum amount of cash award allocable to any one non-employee director during a single fiscal year shall not exceed the then-current fair market value of such number of Shares.

 

Options granted under the Plan become exercisable and expire as determined by the Board of Directors (or committee as applicable). The Company intends to submit the Plan for approval by stockholders at its next scheduled meeting of stockholders.

 

The foregoing summary of the Plan does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

 

On June 10, 2020, the Board adopted and approved a Business Code of Ethics and Conduct, that applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, as well as a Code of Ethics for Financial Officers, which supplements the Company’s Business Code of Ethics and Conduct as it relates to the activities of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Corporate Controller (collectively the “Codes of Ethics”). The Codes of Ethics were adopted to enhance and clarify Company personnel’s understanding of the Company’s standards of ethical business practices, promote awareness of ethical issues that may be encountered in carrying out an employee’s or director’s responsibilities, and improve its clarity as to how to address ethical issues that may arise. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Business Code of Ethics and Conduct, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1, and the Code of Ethics for Financial Officers, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.2, and is incorporated herein by this reference. The Codes of Ethics will be posted on the Company’s website, www.togalimited.com, as soon as practicable.

3.         Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

(a)        Aggregate Limit. Subject to the provisions of Section 15(a) of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to or delivered under Awards granted under the Plan is

The Shares issued under the Plan may be either Shares reacquired by the Company, including Shares purchased in the open market, or authorized but unissued Shares.  In no event will the Shares that are subject to or delivered under Awards granted under the Plan exceed the number of Shares authorized under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time.

 

 
5

 

 

(b)        Code Section 422 Limits; Other Share Limitations. Subject to Section 15(a), the aggregate number of Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan during any fiscal year to any one Employee shall not exceed
forty thousand (40,000) Shares, or if an Award is settled in cash, the maximum amount of cash award allocable to any one Employee during a single fiscal year shall not exceed the then-current Fair Market Value of such Shares.  Subject to the provisions of Section 15(a) of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan through Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to or delivered under Awards granted under the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time under the terms of the Plan.

 

(c)        Limit on Awards to Non-Employee Directors.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate Grant Date Fair Market Value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any single calendar year shall not exceed
two thousand (2,000) Shares, or if an Award is settled in cash, the maximum amount of cash award allocable to any one Non-Employee Director during a single fiscal year shall not exceed the then-current Fair Market Value of such number of Shares. 

 

(d)        Share Counting Rules.

 

(i)             For purposes of this Section 3, Shares subject to Awards that have been canceled, expired, or not issued or forfeited for any reason (in whole or in part) shall not reduce the aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to or delivered under Awards granted under this Plan and shall be available for future Awards granted under this Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares added back under the provisions of this subsection (d) shall not be counted when determining the limit on Shares that may be granted as Incentive Stock Options under subsection (b), above.

 

(ii)        Shares subject to Awards that have been retained by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price of an Award, and Shares that have been delivered (either actually or constructively by attestation) to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price of an Award, shall be available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis. 

 

4.         Administration of the Plan.

 

(a)        Procedure.

 

(i)             Administrative Bodies. The Plan shall be administered by the Board, any Committee designated by the Board to so administer this Plan and their respective delegates. For purposes of Awards to non-employee directors, “Committee” shall mean the full Board.  If the Company has a class of securities that is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be comprised of two or more directors of the Company, each of whom shall qualify as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act.

 

(ii)            Awards to Directors.  The Board shall have the power and authority to grant Awards to Non-employee Directors, including the authority to determine the number and type of awards to be granted; determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, of any award; and to take any other actions the Board considers appropriate in connection with the administration of the Plan.

 

(iii)       Delegation of Authority for the Day-to-Day Administration of the Plan.  Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law (including restrictions on delegation of authority relative to awards to “insiders” under Section 16 of the Exchange Act), the Administrator may delegate to one or more individuals the day-to-day administration of the Plan and any of the functions assigned to it in this Plan.  Such delegation may be revoked at any time.

 

 
6

 

 

(b)        Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee or delegates acting as the Administrator, subject to the specific duties delegated to such Committee or delegates, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

 

(i)         to select the Contractors, Non-Employee Directors and Employees of the Company or its Affiliates to whom Awards are to be granted hereunder;

 

(ii)        to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

 

(iii)       to determine the type of Award to be granted to the selected Contractors, Employees and Non-Employee Directors;

 

(iv)       to determine the Fair Market Value of Shares;

 

(v)        to approve forms of Award Agreements;

 

(vi)       to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the purchase price, the time or times when an Award may be exercised (which may or may not be based on performance criteria), the vesting schedule, any vesting or exercisability provisions, terms regarding acceleration of Awards or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, the acceptable forms of consideration for payment for an Award, the term, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine and may be established at the time an Award is granted or thereafter;

 

(vii)      to correct administrative errors;

 

(viii)     to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan (including sub-plans and Plan addenda), Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, administrative forms, policies and procedures and any other extrinsic documents relating to the Plan;

 

(ix)       to adopt forms, rules, policies and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan;

 

(x)        to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans and Plan addenda;

 

(xi)       to modify or amend each Award, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of vesting or exercisability; provided, however, that any such modification or amendment:  (A) is subject to the plan amendment provisions set forth in Section 16, and (B) may not materially impair any outstanding Award unless agreed to in writing by the Participant, except that such agreement shall not be required if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that such modification or amendment either:  (Y) is required or advisable for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any Applicable Law or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (Z) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that adequate compensation has been provided for any such diminishment, except following a Sale Event;

 

 
7

 

 

(xii)      to allow or require Participants to satisfy withholding tax amounts by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option or vesting of a Stock Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined in such manner and on such date that the Administrator shall determine or, in the absence of provision otherwise, on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may provide;

 

(xiii)     to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

 

(xiv)     to impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any vesting or resale by a Participant or of other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued as a result of or under an Award or upon the vesting or exercise of an Award, including, without limitation, (A) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resale or other transfers, and (C) institution of “blackout” periods on exercises of Awards;

 

(xv)      to provide, either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, that an Award shall contain as a term thereof, a right, either in tandem with the other rights under the Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to receive, without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash or a combination thereof, the amount of which is determined by reference to the value of the Award;

The Board need not take the same action with respect to all Awards or with respect to all Awardees.

 

(d)        Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All questions arising under the Plan or under any Award shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion.  All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Administrator regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants.  The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations, including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, accountants and consultants as it may select.

 

(e)        Indemnity.  To the extent allowable under Applicable Law, each member of the Committee or of the Board and any person to whom the Board or Committee has delegated any of its authority under the Plan shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan, and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, by-laws or regulations, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, immediately before the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns (or is treated as owning) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the term shall be five (5) years from the Grant Date or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

 

8.         Options.

 

The Administrator may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Administrator or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of performance goals or the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the Awardee or within the control of others.

 

(a)        Option Agreement.  Each Option Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Option, (ii) the type of Option, (iii) the exercise price of the Option and the means of payment of such exercise price, (iv) the term of the Option, (v) such terms and conditions regarding the vesting or exercisability of an Option as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator, (vi) restrictions on the transfer of the Option and forfeiture provisions, and (vii) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator.

 

(b)        Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, except that the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date, and the per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date if the Incentive Stock Option is granted to a 10% Owner.

 

(c)        No Option Repricing.  Subject to Section 15, the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced without shareholder approval, nor may outstanding Options be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option, without shareholder approval.

(d)        No Reload Grants.  Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for, and shall not be conditioned upon the delivery of Shares to the Company in payment of, the exercise price, a tax withholding obligation or both, under any other employee stock option.

 

(e)        Vesting Period and Exercise Dates.  Options granted under this Plan shall vest or be exercisable at such time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of the Option’s term as determined by the Administrator and as specified in the Option Agreement.  In the absence of any specific language in the Option Agreement regarding vesting, each Option will vest as follows:   20% of the Option will vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional 40% vesting on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and the final 40% vesting on the third anniversary of the Grant Date; thereby rendering the Options 100% vested three years after the Grant Date.  The Administrator shall have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise any Option granted under this Plan subject to continued active employment, the passage of time or such performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Administrator.  At any time after the grant of an Option, the Administrator may reduce or eliminate any restrictions surrounding any Participant’s right to exercise all or part of the Option.

 

(f)        Form of Consideration.  The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment, either through the terms of the Option Agreement or at the time of exercise of an Option.  Acceptable forms of consideration may include:

 

(i)         cash;

 

(ii)        certified or bank cashier’s check or wire transfer (denominated in U.S. Dollars);

 

(iii)       subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator, other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to or greater than the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised (it being agreed that the excess of the Fair Market Value over the aggregate exercise price shall be refunded to the Awardee in cash);

 

(iv)       subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator, the Company withholding Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of an Option;

 

(v)        consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program acceptable to the Administrator and in compliance with Applicable Law;

(iii)       Unless provided otherwise by the Administrator or pursuant to this Plan, until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.

 

(iv)       The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares as soon as administratively practicable after the Option is exercised.  Such Shares may be issued in the form of a certificate, by book entry, or otherwise, in the Company’s sole discretion.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

(h)        Termination of Employment, Non-Employee Director Status or Contractor Status. The Administrator shall determine as of the Grant Date (but subject to modification subsequent to the Grant Date) the effect a Termination of Employment, termination from membership on the Board by a Non-Employee Director or cessation of status as a Contractor shall have on any Option.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement:

 

(i)         Termination of Employment, Non-Employee Director Status or Contractor Status without Cause. If a Participant experiences, by reason other than Termination for Cause, a Termination of Employment, a termination of his or her status as a Non-Employee Director or a termination of his or her status as a Contractor then (i) to the extent an Option held by such Participant is vested and (ii) only to the extent such Option is exercisable under the terms of the Award Agreement, such Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, the legal representative of the Participant’s estate, the legatee of the Participant under the will of the Participant, or the distribute of the Participant’s estate, whichever is applicable until the expiration of the stated term of such Option (other than in the case of Incentive Stock Options, wherein the period shall not exceed one year).

(a)        Eligibility.  Only Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries may be granted Incentive Stock Options.

 

(b)        $100,000 Limitation. Notwithstanding the designation “Incentive Stock Option” in an Option Agreement, if and to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Awardee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries) exceeds U.S. $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 9(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the Grant Date.

 

(c)        Transferability. The Option Agreement must provide that an Incentive Stock Option is not transferable by the Awardee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such Awardee, must not be exercisable by any other person.  If the terms of an Incentive Stock Option are amended to permit transferability, the Option will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

(d)        Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall in no event be inconsistent with the requirements for qualification of the Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.

 

(e)        Other Terms. Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such other terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify, to the extent determined desirable by the Administrator, with the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.  If any such terms and conditions, as of the Grant Date or any later date, do not so comply, the Option will be treated thereafter for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

10.      Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Awardees either alone (“freestanding”) or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted under Section 8.  Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option, and shall be based on the Fair Market Value of one Share on the Grant Date or, if applicable, on the Grant Date of the Option with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right granted in exchange for or in tandem with, but subsequent to, the Option (subject to the requirements of Section 409A).  All Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 8.  The Administrator may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate.

(ii)            Termination of Employment, Board Membership or Cessation of Status as a Contractor. The Administrator shall determine as of the Grant Date (subject to modification subsequent to the Grant Date) the effect a termination from membership on the Board by a Non-Employee Director, cessation of an individual’s status as a Contractor or an Employee’s Termination of Employment shall have on any Stock Unit Award.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement:  (i) a Termination of Employment due to Disability or death, a cessation of status as a Contractor due to Disability or death or a termination from membership on the Board by a Non-Employee Director due to Disability or death, shall result in vesting of a prorated portion of any Stock Unit Award, based upon the full months of the applicable performance period, vesting period or other period of restriction elapsed as of the end of the month in which the Termination of Employment due to Disability or death, cessation of status as a Contractor due to Disability or death or termination from membership on the Board by a Non-Employee Director due to Disability or death occurs over the total number of months in such period; (ii) any Stock Unit Award held by an Employee at Retirement that was granted more than 12 months prior to the date of the Employee’s Retirement shall become 100% vested as of the effective date of such Retirement, and, if a performance-based Award, the actual amount of the vested Award shall be determined and certified by the Administrator after the completion of the performance period based on actual performance results; and (iii) any other Termination of Employment, cessation of status as a Contractor or termination from membership on the Board by a Director shall result in immediate cancellation and forfeiture of all outstanding, unvested Stock Unit Awards.

(a)            Options

 

(i)             In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the Committee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to accelerate the vesting with respect to any or all of the outstanding Options.  Upon the consummation of a Sale Event, the Plan and all Options issued hereunder (both vested and unvested) shall terminate upon the effective time of any such Sale Event unless provision is made in connection with the Sale Event in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the assumption or continuation of Options theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Options with new Options of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of Shares and, if appropriate, the per Share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder).

 

(ii)            In the event of the termination of the Plan and all Options issued hereunder pursuant to a Sale Event, each Holder of Options shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Committee, to exercise all such Options that are then exercisable or that will become exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of any Options not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Sale Event. 

 

(iii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15(a)(i), in the event of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each Share surrendered in the Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Awardees holding vested Options (including Options (if any) that vest as a result of such Sale Event) in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value as determined by the Committee of the consideration payable per Share pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the number of Shares subject to outstanding vested Options (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested Options.  If exercise price per Share of a vested Option equals or exceeds the Sale Price per Share, such Option shall be cancelled upon consummation of such Sale Event without payment of any consideration to the Awardee unless provision is made in connection with the Sale Event for the assumption or continuation of such Option pursuant to Section 15(a)(i) above.

 

(b)            Option Shares and Restricted Stock Awards.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, in the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, Option Shares and Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the repurchase right set forth in Section 16.

 

(c)            Unrestricted Stock Awards.  Unless otherwise provided herein or in an Award agreement, any Shares of Unrestricted Stock shall be treated in a Sale Event the same as all other Shares then outstanding.

 

 
19

 

 

(d)            Adjustment Clause. In the event of:  (i) a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company, or (ii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, spin-off, reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation, or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Organic Change”), the Administrator or the Board may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (i) the Share limitations set forth in Section 3, (ii) the number and kind of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and (iii) the price per Share subject to each such outstanding Award.  In the case of Organic Changes, such adjustments may include, without limitation:  (x) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Administrator or the Board in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of an Organic Change with respect to which shareholders receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Administrator that the value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Share pursuant to such Organic Change over the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall conclusively be deemed valid); (y) the acceleration of vesting of such Awards or the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the Shares subject to outstanding Awards; and (z) in connection with any Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption of Awards, or replacement of Awards with new awards based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding adjustments to Awards that remain based upon Company securities).  Any adjustment under this Section 15(d) need not be the same for all Participants and the Board’s and the Administrator’s determination of the adjustments appropriate to be made under this Section 15(d) shall be conclusive upon all Participants under the Plan.  Any such adjustment shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and 1.424-1(a)(5) as determined by the Committee in good-faith and any such adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Persons.  Any such adjustment shall also be made in a manner which does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (to the extent the Committee determines applicable, in its sole discretion) or any independence standard contained in applicable exchange listing requirements.  No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional Shares.

 

The Committee may also adjust the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or any other event if it is determined by the Committee that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if it would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of a Stock Option within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) or 1.424-1(e).

 

(e)        Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:  (i) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 15 to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A; (ii) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 15 to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that, after such adjustment, the Awards either continue not to be subject to Section 409A or comply with the requirements of Section 409A; (iii) the Administrator shall not have the authority to make any adjustments pursuant to Section 15 to the extent that the existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A to be subject thereto; and (iv) if any Award is subject to Section 409A, Section 15(e) shall be applicable only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement and permitted pursuant to Section 29 in order to ensure that such Award complies with Section 409A.

16.      Transfer Restrictions; Company Right of First Refusal; Company Repurchase Rights.

 

(a)          Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(i)          Options.  No Stock Option shall be transferable by the Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Awardee’s lifetime, only by the Awardee, or by the Awardee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the Awardee’s incapacity.  The Awardee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company, and any such beneficiary may exercise the Awardee’s Stock Option in the event of the Awardee’s death to the extent provided herein. If the Awardee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Awardee, the legal representative of the Awardee may exercise this Stock Option in the event of the Awardee’s death to the extent provided herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award agreement regarding a given Option that the Awardee may transfer, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to a Permitted Transferee, provided that the Permitted Transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Option.

 

(ii)          Issued Shares.  No Issued Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless (i) such transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award, all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 16, (ii) such transfer does not cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the transferee consents in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 16.  In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).  Any attempted disposition of Issued Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 16 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Issued Shares as a result of any such disposition, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way give effect to any such disposition of Issued Shares.  Subject to the foregoing general provisions, and unless otherwise provided in the agreement with respect to a particular Award, Issued Shares may be transferred pursuant to the following specific terms and conditions (provided that with respect to any transfer of Restricted Stock, all vesting and forfeiture provisions shall continue to apply only with respect to the Awardee):

 

(A)       Transfers to Permitted Transferees.  The Holder may sell, assign, transfer or give away any or all of the Issued Shares to Permitted Transferees; provided, however, that following such sale, assignment, or other transfer, such Issued Shares shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan (including this Section 16) and such Permitted Transferee(s) must, as a condition to any such transfer, deliver a written acknowledgment to that effect to the Company.

 

 
21

 

 

(B)       Transfers Upon Death.  Upon the death of the Holder, any Issued Shares then held by the Holder at the time of such death and any Issued Shares acquired thereafter by the Holder’s estate, executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan (including this Section 16).

 

(iii)          All Issued Shares shall be subject to all restrictions on transfer set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, by-laws or regulations.

 

(b)           Right of First Refusal.  In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of such Holder’s Issued Shares to any Person (other than a Permitted Transferee), the Holder first shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such transfer.  Such notice shall state the number of Issued Shares which the Holder proposes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the terms at which the proposed sale is to be made and the name and address of the proposed transferee.  At any time within 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company or its assigns may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms offered by the proposed transferee and specified in the notice.  The Company or its assigns shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering written notice to the Holder within the foregoing 30-day period.  If the Company or its assigns elect to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 16(b), the closing for such purchase shall, in any event, take place within 45 days after the receipt by the Company of the initial notice from the Holder.  In the event that the Company or its assigns do not elect to exercise such purchase right, or in the event that the Company or its assigns do not pay the full purchase price within such 45-day period, the Holder may, within 60 days thereafter, sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee and at the same price and on the same terms as specified in the Holder’s notice.  Any Shares purchased by such proposed transferee (other than a purchase by a Permitted Transferee) shall no longer be subject to the terms of the Plan.  Any Shares not sold to the proposed transferee shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan.

 

(c)            Company’s Right of Repurchase.

 

(i)          Right of Repurchase for Option Shares.  The Company or its assigns shall have the right and option upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to a Holder of Option Shares to repurchase from such Holder some or all (as determined by the Company) of the Option Shares held or subsequently acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option by such Holder at the price per Share specified below.  Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company at any time during the period commencing on the date the Repurchase Event occurs and ending on the later of (A) the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date of such Repurchase Event or (B) the date that is thirteen (13) months after the acquisition of such Option Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option (the “Option Shares Repurchase Period”).  The “Option Shares Repurchase Price” shall be the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares; provided, however, that in the case of a Restrictive Covenant Breach, the Option Shares Repurchase Price shall be the lesser of Fair Market Value of the Option Shares or the purchase price paid by the Awardee (or Holder) for the Option Shares upon exercise of Options by the Awardee (or Holder).  Fair Market Value of the Option Shares shall be determined as of the date the Committee elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with such Repurchase Event.

 

 
22

 

 

(ii)         Right of Repurchase With Respect to Restricted Stock.  Unless otherwise set forth in the agreement entered into by the Awardee and the Company in connection with a Restricted Stock Award, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option upon a Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder of Issued Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award some or all (as determined by the Company) of such Issued Shares at the price per Share specified below.  Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company at any time during the period commencing on the date the Repurchase Event occurs and ending on the date that is six months following the date of such Repurchase Event (the “Non-Option Shares Repurchase Period”).  The “Non-Option Shares Repurchase Price” shall be the Fair Market Value of such Issued Shares; provided, however, that in the case of a Restrictive Covenant Breach, the Non-Option Shares Repurchase Price shall be the lesser of Fair Market Value of the Issued Shares or the original purchase price paid by the Awardee for the Issued Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award.  Fair Market Value of the Option Shares shall be determined as of the date the Committee elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with such Repurchase Event.

 

(iii)          Procedure.  Any repurchase right of the Company shall be exercised by the Company or its assigns by giving the Holder written notice on or before the last day of the Option Shares Repurchase Period or Non-Option Shares Repurchase Period, as applicable, of its intention to exercise such repurchase right.  Upon such notification, the Holder shall promptly surrender to the Company, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Company’s assignee or assignees.  Upon the Company’s or its assignee’s receipt of the certificates from the Holder, the Company or its assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the Option Shares Repurchase Price or the Non-Option Shares Repurchase Price, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Option Shares Repurchase Price or Non-Option Shares Repurchase Price, as applicable, by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Holder to the Company.

 

(d)           Drag Along Right.  In the event the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting capital stock then outstanding (the “Majority Shareholders”) determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or all or 50 percent or more of the capital stock of the Company, in each case in a transaction constituting a change in control of the Company, to any non Affiliate(s) of the Company or any of the Majority Shareholders, or to cause the Company to merge with or into or consolidate with any non-Affiliate(s) of the Company or any of the Majority Shareholders (in each case, the “Buyer”) in a bona fide negotiated transaction (a “Sale”), each Holder of Issued Shares, including any Permitted Transferees, shall be obligated to and shall upon the written request of the Majority Shareholders:  (a) sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold, transferred and delivered, to the Buyer, his or her Issued Shares (including for this purpose all of such Holder’s or his or her Permitted Transferee’s Issued Shares that presently or as a result of any such transaction may be acquired upon the exercise of an Option (following the payment of the exercise price therefor)) on substantially the same terms applicable to the Majority Shareholders (with appropriate adjustments to reflect the conversion of convertible securities, the redemption of redeemable securities and the exercise of exercisable securities as well as the relative preferences and priorities of preferred stock); and (b) execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action, including voting such Issued Shares in favor of any Sale proposed by the Majority Shareholders and executing any purchase agreements, merger agreements, indemnity agreements, escrow agreements or related documents as the Majority Shareholders or the Buyer may reasonably require in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Section 16(d).

 

 
23

 

 

(e)            Escrow Arrangement.

 

(i)          Escrow.  In order to carry out the provisions of Sections 12(b)(iv) and 16(b), (c) and (d) of this Agreement more effectively, the Company shall hold any Issued Shares in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Holder in blank for transfer, and any Permitted Transferee shall, as an additional condition to any transfer of Issued Shares, execute a like stock power as to such Issued Shares.  The Company shall not dispose of the Issued Shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  In the event of any repurchase by the Company (or any of its assigns), the Company is hereby authorized by the Holder and any Permitted Transferee, as the Holder’s and each such Permitted Transferee’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Issued Shares being purchased and to transfer such Issued Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.  At such time as any Issued Shares are no longer subject to the Company’s repurchase, first refusal and drag along rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Holder, deliver to the Holder (or the relevant Permitted Transferee) a certificate representing such Issued Shares with the balance of the Issued Shares to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 16(e).

 

(ii)          Remedy.  Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement or other rights, in the event that a Holder, any Permitted Transferees or any other Person is required to sell a Holder’s Issued Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 12(b)(iv) or 16(b), (c) or (d) and in the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the Company or its designated purchaser of such Issued Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Issued Shares together with a related stock power, the Company or such designated purchaser may deposit the applicable purchase price for such Issued Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Holder, any Permitted Transferees or other Person, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by such Holder as provided above.  Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the Company or its designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the Person who was required to sell the Issued Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Sections 12(b)(iv) or 16(b), (c) or (d), such Issued Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, such Holder shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.

 

(f)            Lockup Provision.  Holder agrees, if requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Issued Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act as the Company or such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith, not to exceed 180 days in the case of the Company’s initial public offering or 90 days in the case of any other public offering.

 

 
24

 

 

(g)            Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.  If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, split-up or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of security of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Section 16 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Holder in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Issued Shares. 

 

(h)            Transfers to Competitors.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Issued Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred to a party that is a competitor of the Company without the prior written approval of the Board.  Any sale or other purported sale of Issued Shares in violation of this Section 16(h) shall be null and void.

 

(i)             Termination.  The terms and provisions of Section 16(b), Section 16(c), Section 16(d) and Section 16(h) shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering or upon consummation of any Sale Event, in either case as a result of which Shares of the same class as the Issued Shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and publicly traded on any national security exchange.

 

17.      Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)        Amendment and Termination.  The Board, without further action on the part of the shareholders of the Company, may from time to time amend, suspend or alter the Plan or any Award Agreement and may terminate the Plan or any Award Agreement at any time; provided, however, that any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by Applicable Law.  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, unless approved by the shareholders of the Company and subject to Section 15, no such amendment shall be made that would:

 

(i)         increase the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to Awards granted under the Plan;

 

(ii)        reduce the minimum exercise price for Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan;

 

(iii)       reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights;

 

(iv)       materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan;

 

(v)        extend the maximum option period of Options granted under the Plan; or

 

(vi)       effect any other change which requires shareholder approval under Applicable Law.

 

            Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have the authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in applicable tax and securities laws and accounting rules, as well as other developments.

 

 
25

 

 

(b)        Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an outstanding Award, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company, except that no such agreement shall be required if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that such amendment either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any Applicable Law or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

(c)        Effect of the Plan on Other Arrangements.  Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it or they may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted shares or restricted share units or stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

18.      Designation of Beneficiary.

 

Each Awardee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the Awardee’s death.  Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee.  If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased Awardee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the Awardee, the beneficiary shall be the Awardee’s estate.

 

19.      No Right to Awards or to Employment.

 

No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award and the grant of any Award shall not be construed as giving an Awardee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or its Affiliates and shall not restrict or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the Awardee’s employment at any time, with or without Cause.  Further, the Company and its Affiliates expressly reserve the right, at any time, to dismiss any Employee or Awardee at any time without liability or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award Agreement entered into hereunder.

 

20.      Legal Compliance.

 

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock Award, Stock Unit Award or Other Stock-Based Award unless such Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock Award, Stock Unit or Other Stock-Based Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Law and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.  Unless the Awards and Shares covered by this Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary, each person receiving an Award and/or Shares pursuant to any Award may be required by the Company to give a representation in writing that such person is acquiring such Shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.

 

 
26

 

 

21.      Inability to Obtain Authority.

 

To the extent the Company is unable, or the Administrator deems it unfeasible, to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be advisable or necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, the Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

22.      Reservation of Shares.

 

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

23.      Notice.

 

Any written notice to the Company required by any provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall be effective when received.  Any notice to a Participant hereunder shall be addressed to the last address of record with the Company and shall be effective when sent via first class mail, courier service, or electronic mail to such last address of record.

 

24.      Governing Law

 

Except to the extent preempted by United States Federal law or as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Plan and Award Agreements and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the substantive, internal laws of the state of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions, rules or principles.

 

25.      Interpretation of Plan and Awards.

 

(a)        The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Plan, nor shall they serve as a basis for interpretation of the Plan.

 

(b)        Any reference to a provision of law, regulation or rule shall be deemed to include a reference to the successor of such law, regulation or rule.

 

(c)        Any reference to a particular section of the Code or legislative Act shall be deemed to include a reference to all regulations and other lawful guidance interpreting, construing or implementing such section or Act.

 

(d)        To the extent consistent with the context, any masculine term shall include the feminine, and vice versa, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.

 

26.      Successors and Assigns.

 

The terms of the Plan and any Award shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns.

 

27.      Illegality, Invalidity and Unenforceability.

 

If any provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of the terms of the Plan and/or Award shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

 

 
27

 

 

28.      Private Company Provisions.

 

For any period during which the Company’s Shares are not publicly traded on a national stock exchange or national market system, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)        Restrictive Legends.  If one or more Options or other rights under the Plan are exercised pursuant to exemptions from foreign, federal and state securities laws:  (i) any Shares issued upon exercise of those Options or rights may not be sold or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not be required to transfer any such Shares, unless they have been registered under the foreign, federal and state securities laws or a valid exemption from such registration is available, and (ii) the Company may cause each certificate or other documentation evidencing ownership of any Shares issued upon exercise of those Options or rights to be imprinted with a legend in the following form:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law and may not be sold or otherwise transferred without such registration unless a valid exemption from such registration is available and the corporation has received an opinion of, or satisfactory to, its counsel that such transfer would not violate any federal or state securities laws.”

 

The legend shall be in addition to the legend in Section 11, which applies to any certificate issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award.

 

(b)        Restrictions on Transfers.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, no Shares awarded under the Plan or issued upon exercise of an Option or other right under the Plan may be sold or otherwise transferred.

 

(c)        Purchase Option.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if any Participant who is a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board, or if any Participant who is an Employee ceases to be an Employee of the Company and its Affiliates, if any, for any reason (including without limitation his or her death, Disability, Retirement, resignation, replacement, removal, expiration of term, discharge or any other reason), then the Company shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase from such Participant, the executor or administrator of his or her estate, or his or her other successor in interest, as the case may be, any or all of the Shares which may have been purchased or awarded to the Participant under the Plan (including without limitation any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or other right after termination of the Participant’s employment or status as a Non-Employee Director and any additional Shares which the Participant may have received as a result of any stock splits, stock dividends or similar sources as a result of receiving Shares under the Plan).

 

29.      Section 409A.

 

It is the intention of the Company that no Award be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, unless and to the extent that the Administrator specifically determines otherwise, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly.  The terms and conditions governing any Awards that the Administrator determines will be subject to Section 409A, including any rules for elective or mandatory deferral of the delivery of cash or Shares pursuant thereto and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards upon a Sale Event, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, deferral election forms and procedures, and rules established by the Administrator, and shall comply in all respects with Section 409A.  The following rules will apply to Awards intended to be subject to Section 409A (“409A Awards”):

(a)        If a Participant is permitted to elect to defer an Award or any payment under an Award, such election will be permitted only at times in compliance with Code Section 409A, including applicable transition rules thereunder.

 

(b)        The Company shall have no authority to accelerate distributions relating to 409A Awards, other than any authority expressly permitted under Section 409A.

 

(c)        Any distribution pursuant to a 409A Award following a Termination of Employment that would be subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code as a distribution following a separation from service of a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, shall occur no earlier than the date immediately following the expiration of the six-month period after such Termination of Employment.  For the avoidance of doubt, an intervening distribution following a Participant’s death prior to the expiration of such period would not be prohibited under this subsection.

 

(d)        In the case of any distribution pursuant to a 409A Award, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan, an Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year during which the settlement of the 409A Award is specified to occur.

 

(e)        In the case of an Award providing for distribution or settlement upon vesting or the lapse of a risk of forfeiture, if the time of such distribution or settlement is not otherwise specified in the Plan, an Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution or settlement shall be made not later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Award vested or the risk of forfeiture lapsed.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or the Administrator be liable for the payment of, or any gross up payment in connection with, any taxes, penalties or interest owed by the Participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

 

30.      Limitation on Liability.

 

The Company and any Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant, an Employee, an Awardee or any other person as to:

 

(a)        The Non-Issuance of Shares. The non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder; and

 

(b)        Tax or Exchange Control Consequences. Any tax consequence expected, but not realized, or any exchange control obligation owed, by any Participant, Employee, Awardee or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award granted hereunder.

 

No member of the Board or the Committee shall have any liability for any determination or other action made or taken in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan.

 

 
29

 

 

31.      Unfunded Plan.

 

Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded.  Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Awardees who are granted Stock Awards, Stock Unit Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience.  The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation.  Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be deemed to be a trustee of Shares or cash to be awarded under the Plan.  Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company and nothing contained herein shall give any Participant or transferee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.  Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation which may be created by this Plan.

 

32.      Tax Withholding.

 

Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Award under the Plan no later than the date as of which any amount under such Award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for any tax purposes with respect to which the Company has a tax withholding obligation.  Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Shares, including Shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement; provided, however, that not more than the legally required minimum withholding may be settled with Shares.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any vested Shares or any other payment due to the Participant at that time or at any future time.  The Administrator may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Shares.

 

33.      Cancellation of Award; Forfeiture of Gain; Clawback Policy.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Award Agreement may provide that the Award will be cancelled and the Participant will forfeit the Shares or cash received or payable on the vesting or exercise of the Award, and that the amount of any proceeds of the sale or gain realized on the vesting or exercise of the Award must be repaid to the Company, under such conditions as may be required by Applicable Law or established by the Administrator in its sole discretion.  Without limiting the foregoing, and without regard to the terms of any Award Agreement the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company policies that may be adopted or modified from time to time (the “Clawback Policy”).  In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policy.  By accepting an Award, a Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Clawback Policy, as in effect or as may be adopted or amended from time to time by the Company in its discretion.

 

34.      Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

The Company intends that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participant will be entitled to the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16.  Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 34, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

Exhibit A

 

Definition of “Sale Event”

 

“Sale Event” means one of the following events occurring afterthe effective date of the Plan:

 

(1)        any one person, or group of owners of another corporation who acting together through a merger, consolidation, purchase, acquisition of stock or the like (a “Group”), acquires ownership of stock of the Company (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding) that, together with the Company stock (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding) held by such person or Group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding).  However, if such person or Group is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding), the acquisition of additional Company stock (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding) by the same person or Group shall not be considered to cause a Sale Event;

 

(2)        any one person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding) possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company (or other voting securities of the Company then outstanding) where such person or Group is not merely acquiring additional control of the Company;

 

(3)        a majority of the members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election (the “Incumbent Board”), but excluding, for purposes of determining whether a majority of the Incumbent Board has endorsed any candidate for election to the Board, any individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person or Group other than the Board; or

 

 
31

 

  

(4)        any one person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or Group) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total fair market value of all assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.  For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.  A transfer of assets by the Company will not result in a Sale Event if the assets are transferred to:

 

(i)         a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

 

(ii)        an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company immediately after the transfer of assets;

 

(iii)       a person or Group that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or

 

(iv)       an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned directly or indirectly, by a person described in subparagraph (1), above; or

 

(5)        Shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

 

However, no Sale Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to a Participant by reason of (I) any event involving a transaction in which the Participant or a group of persons or entities with which the Participant acts in concert, acquires, directly or indirectly, more than thirty percent (30%) of the common stock or the business or assets of the Company; or (II) any event involving or arising out of a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (or the provisions of any future United States bankruptcy law), an assignment for the benefit of creditors or an insolvency proceeding under state or local law.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment or distribution event applicable to an Award is subject to the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, the determination of the occurrence of a Sale Event shall be governed by applicable provisions of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code for purposes of determining whether such payment or distribution may then occur.

  EXHIBIT 14.1

TOGA LIMITED

BUSINESS CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

Adopted June 10, 2020

 

Toga Limited ("Toga") is committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and in accordance with the highest ethical standards. In furtherance of this commitment, the Board of Directors of Toga has adopted this Business Code of Ethics and Conduct (the "Code of Ethics") setting forth the principles that govern the conduct of all employees, officers and directors of Toga and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company").

 

As used herein, Company Official shall mean any officer of the Company.  Some provisions of this Code of Ethics also extend to the family members of employees, officers, directors, or nominees for director.  For this purpose, the term "family member" shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of any director, nominee for director, or officer of the Company. These associations include adoptive relationships.

 

I.       Compliance with Laws, Rules, Regulations, Policies and Procedures

 

Each employee, officer and director is expected to understand and comply with both the letter and intent of all applicable laws, rules and regulations and with all Company policies and procedures that apply to matters for which he or she is responsible.  All employees and officers are expected to participate in compliance training and information sessions when offered by the Company. Any employee or officer who is uncertain as to the meaning or interpretation of any law, rule, regulation, policy or procedure, or its application to his or her responsibilities, is expected to seek advice from a supervisor, manager or other appropriate Company Official.

 

II.    Conflicts of Interest 

 

In carrying out their responsibilities, all employees, officers and directors have a duty always to act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  The ability of an employee, officer or director to fulfill this obligation can be compromised if a conflict exists between his or her personal interests and the interests of the Company.  In general, a conflict of interest can arise whenever the personal interests of an employee, officer or director in a matter (financial or otherwise) are different from the interests of the Company and its stockholders.  Even where the outcome of the matter is on terms that are entirely fair to the Company, the existence of a conflict of interest can create an appearance of impropriety.

 

While it is not possible to list all of the situations that could present a conflict of interest, examples include:

 

 
1

 

 

 

·

Ownership of a material financial interest in any business or other enterprise that does business (whether as a supplier, customer or otherwise), or is seeking to do business, with the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Serving as a director, officer or partner of, or in any other managerial role with respect to, or as a consultant to, any business or other enterprise that does business (whether as a supplier, customer or otherwise), or is seeking to do business, with the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Ownership of a material financial interest in, or serving as a director, officer or partner of, or in any other managerial role with respect to, or as a consultant to, any competitor of the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Acting as a broker, finder or other intermediary in any transaction involving the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Any situation where the employee, officer or director will receive any payment of money, services, loan, guarantee or any other personal benefits from within the Company or a third party in anticipation of or as a result of any transaction or business relationship between the Company and a third party.

 

 

 

 

·

Ownership of a material financial interest in any business or other enterprise that does business (whether as a supplier, customer or otherwise), or is seeking to do business, with any competitor of the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Serving as a director, officer or partner of, or in any other managerial role with respect to, or as a consultant to, any business or other enterprise that does business (whether as a supplier, customer or otherwise), or is seeking to do business, with any competitor of the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Taking a public position or making public statements contrary to the best interests of the Company or that could result in embarrassment to the Company.

  

A conflict also can exist where the person doing business, or seeking to do business with the Company is a family member of an employee, officer or director.  However, the acquisition or use by an employee, officer or director of the Company of products or services obtained from the Company in the ordinary course of the Company's business will not represent a conflict of interest.

 

All employees and officers are encouraged to avoid relationships that have the potential for creating an actual conflict of interest or a perception of a conflict of interest.  Employees and officers must be free of any conflict of interest whenever they act on behalf of the Company, including engaging in negotiations or recommending or approving a transaction, arrangement or relationship with an existing or potential customer, supplier, lender or investor.  Any officer who has a conflict of interest with respect to any matter is required to make prompt and full disclosure of the matter to the Chief Financial Officer or, in the case of the Chief Financial Officer, to the Audit Committee.  All other employees are required to make prompt and full disclosure of any conflict of interest to the Head of Internal Audit (who shall be the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Alexander Henderson, unless some other person is designated by the Company’s Board of Directors).  No employee or officer is permitted to participate in any matter in which he or she has a conflict of interest unless authorized by an appropriate Company Official and under circumstances that are designed to protect the interests of the Company and its stockholders and to avoid any appearance of impropriety. 

 

 
2

 

 

Any officer who has a question as to whether a given situation or relationship might represent a conflict of interest is required to consult with the Chief Financial Officer. Any other employee who has a question as to whether a situation or relationship might constitute a conflict is required to consult with the Head of Internal Audit. 

 

Directors are required to disclose any conflict of interest to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and to refrain from voting on any matter(s) in which they have a conflict.

 

III. Corporate Opportunities

 

All business opportunities that are within the existing or reasonably foreseeable scope of the Company's business, including planned business ventures, are the property of the Company.  Without the prior consent of the Board of Directors, employees, officers and directors are prohibited from:

 

·         Taking for themselves opportunities that they discovered through the use of Company property or information or through their position with the Company;

 

·         Using property or information of the Company or their position with the Company for personal gain; or

 

·         Engaging in any business in competition with the Company.

 

IV. Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement

 

Confidentiality

 

Employees, officers, directors and director nominees are required to maintain the confidentiality of, and not use for personal benefit, confidential information entrusted to them by the Company, its customers or its suppliers, or otherwise acquired in the course of their employment by or service to the Company. Disclosure or use of confidential information is permitted only for a proper business purpose and when specifically authorized by an appropriate Company Official or as required by law or legal proceedings.  Confidential information includes all information protected by law or by an agreement between the Company and a third party, any information identified as "proprietary" or "confidential," or information that might reasonably be regarded as confidential information, as well as other non-public information that, if disclosed, might be harmful to the Company or useful to competitors, including but not limited to:

 

·         Trade secrets, know-how, processes, methods, intellectual property and other proprietary technical information or data.

 

·         Undisclosed financial and accounting information.

·         Information regarding Company disputes, litigation, or compliance matters.

 

·         Research information and records.

 

Employees, officers and directors must not communicate, divulge or disseminate confidential information at any time during or after termination of service, with respect to directors, or termination of employment, with respect to employees and officers, except:

 

·         To employees or agents of the Company that need the confidential information to perform their duties on behalf of the Company;

 

·         In the performance of their respective duties to the Company; or

 

·         As otherwise required by law or legal process.

 

All employees, officers and directors are required to sign a confidentiality statement.  These confidentiality and non-use restrictions continue beyond termination of service for directors, and termination of employment for employees and officers. Upon termination, employees, officers and directors are not permitted to take, copy or retain any records or documents of the Company and may be required to certify that he/she has complied with, and will continue to comply with, these confidentiality and non-use restrictions and requirements.

 

Non-Disparagement

 

Employees, officers and directors must refrain from taking actions or making statements, written or verbal that:

 

·         Denigrate, disparage or defame the goodwill or reputation of the Company or any of its trustees, officers, security holders, partners, agents or former or current employees, officers and directors, or

 

·         Are intended to, or may be reasonably expected to, adversely affect the morale of the employees of the Company;

 

·         Employees, officers and directors also must not make any negative statements to third parties relating to their service or employment with the Company or any aspect of the business of the Company and not make any statements to third parties about the circumstances of the termination of service or employment, or about the Company or its trustees, directors, officers, security holders, partners, agents or former or current employees, officers and directors, except as may be required by a court or governmental body, or as otherwise required by law or legal process.

V.    Proper Accounting for Company Transactions 

 

The maintenance of accurate financial and accounting records is essential in order to enable the Company to comply with the requirements of the federal securities laws and with its obligations to its shareholders. 

 

Maintenance of Accurate Records 

 

All Company assets and liabilities and all items of revenue and expense shall be properly recorded in the Company's regular books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  All employees and officers who are responsible for the recording or reporting of Company property, assets, liabilities, transactions and other activities are required to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable recording or reporting thereof.  Without limitation of the foregoing:

 

·         No undisclosed or unrecorded fund or asset of the Company shall be established or maintained for any purpose.

 

·         No employee or officer of the Company shall intentionally conceal or fail to record or report any matter that is required to be recorded or reported.

 

·         No employee or officer of the Company shall improperly record or report any matter, or improperly alter any record or report of any matter.

 

Documentation of Disbursement of Funds

 

No payment or other disbursement of Company funds shall be made without proper authorization.  No approval shall be granted for the payment or other disbursement of Company funds without adequate supporting documentation.  No payment on behalf of the Company shall be approved or made with the intention or understanding that any part of such payment is to be used for a purpose other than that described by the documents supporting the payment.

 

VI. Improper Payments and Gifts to Third Parties 

 

Improper Payments and Gifts

 

Except for permitted gifts (as described below), neither the Company nor any employee, officer or director shall, either directly or indirectly, authorize or make any payment or gift of money or any other thing of value (including materials, equipment, facilities or services) to any:

·

Any director, officer, employee, general partner, stockholder or owner of a current or prospective customer, supplier or competitor,

 

 

 

 

·

if the purpose of the payment or the gift is to induce the current or prospective customer, supplier, competitor or government official improperly to grant or convey any benefit to, or forgo any claim against, the Company or any of its employees, officers or directors, or otherwise to influence a business or other decision of the current or prospective customer, supplier, competitor or government official.

  

 
5

 

 

Permitted Gifts

 

An employee, officer or director may make gifts, generally in the form of meals, entertainment or specialty advertising items, to Company customers, suppliers or other third parties engaged, or that may become engaged, in business with the Company if the gift meets all of the following criteria:

 

·         It is consistent with customary business practices;

 

·         It is not for an improper purpose;

 

·         It is not in contravention of any applicable laws, rules, regulations or ethical standards; and

 

·         Public disclosure of the full details of the gift would not cause embarrassment to the Company.

 

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Anti-Corruption Policy

 

All employees, officers and directors are required to adhere to the Company's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Antibribery Policy and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance Program Manual, both of which establish prohibitions on certain payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business. 

 

Acceptance of Gifts or Other Personal Benefits

 

No employee, officer or director shall solicit from any supplier, customer or other person doing business, or seeking to do business, with the Company any gift of money, products or services, gratuity, loans or guarantees, or other personal benefits of any kind.

 

An employee, officer or director, including their family members, may accept an unsolicited gift or gratuity of nominal value or reasonable business entertainment (including recreation and attendance of sporting or cultural events) if the gift or gratuity meets all of the following criteria:

 

·         It does not go beyond common courtesies usually associated with accepted business practices;

 

·         It does not interfere with the recipient's independence or judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities on behalf of the Company; and

 

·         Public disclosure of the full details of the gift or gratuity would not cause embarrassment to the Company.

 

Any gifts or gratuity that do not meet these requirements must to the extent possible be returned.

 

 
6

 

 

VII.          Relationships with Customers

 

When dealing with customers, the Company is committed to:

 

·         Providing all customers with exceptional service;

 

·         Dealing fairly and ethically with all customers and treating customers with respect;

 

·         Providing customers with accurate and clear information regarding the services offered by the Company; and

 

·         Investigating promptly and resolving on fair terms all customer complaints and inquiries.

 

Each employee, officer and director has a responsibility to use his or her best efforts to ensure that these objectives are attained. The Company prohibits manipulation, misrepresentation of facts, and other forms of unfair dealing with customers.

 

VIII.       Relationships with Suppliers and Consultants

 

When dealing with suppliers and consultants of products and services to the Company, all employees, officers and directors are required at all times to act in the best interests of the Company, while at the same time adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct.  All unlawful behavior, manipulation, misrepresentation of facts, or any other forms of unfair dealing are prohibited.  

 

IX. Fair Competition

 

The Company is committed to fair and honest competition.  The Company seeks to achieve its competitive advantage through competitive prices, products and services, and not through illegal or unethical business practices.  All employees, officers and directors are required to adhere to all laws and regulations regarding fair competition, including antitrust laws.  Misappropriation of trade secrets or other proprietary information, manipulation, misrepresentation of facts and all other forms of unfair dealing are prohibited.   

 

X.    Relationships with Employees

 

All employees and officers are entitled to work in an environment free of discrimination and harassment.  Therefore the Company strives to provide each employee and officer with a workplace that is free from unlawful discrimination or harassment.  It is the policy of the Company to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified individuals regardless of race, religion, gender, national origin, age, or their status as disabled veterans or as disabled individuals.  Equal opportunity applies to all aspects of the employment relationship, including initial employment, promotion, training, wage and salary administration, seniority, retirement, and employee benefits.

 

 
7

 

 

XI. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

 

Proper protection and proper use of Company assets is the responsibility of each employee, officer and director.  Employees, officers and directors are required to promote the efficient use of Company assets and to take appropriate security measures to safeguard physical property and other assets against unauthorized use or removal, as well as against loss by wrongful acts or negligence.  Employees, officers and directors may use Company property only for legitimate business purposes and strictly in accordance with established Company policies and guidelines.

 

XII.          Insider Trading

 

All employees, officers and directors are required to adhere to the Company's Insider Trading Policy, which governs trading by employees, officers and directors in Toga stock. 

 

XIII.       Political Activities

 

Employees, officers and directors are free to participate in lawful political activities on their own time and at their own expense, and to make personal contributions to political parties, committees or candidates of their choice. However, under no circumstances shall an employee, officer or director use Company facilities or assets, or be compensated or reimbursed by the Company, for their personal political activities or contributions.

 

While employees and officers are encouraged to participate in civic and community activities during their non-work hours, an employee's or officer's determination to seek election or appointment to public office, including membership on a public board or commission ("public office"), raises special concerns. Because the Company's business frequently interfaces with many government branches, employees, officers and directors would have a responsibility to disqualify themselves from any action in which they know the Company has an interest. In addition, care must be taken that campaigning for office or fulfilling public responsibilities is not done during work hours. Accordingly, any employee or officer who wishes to seek or accept public office must provide the Head of Internal Audit with reasonable advance notice of that intent. In certain cases, depending on the nature of the office and other surrounding circumstances, the Company may decide that the employee or officer should not seek or accept such office while remaining in the Company's employment without a determination by the Company's Chief Financial Officer (or in the case of the Chief Financial Officer, the Board of Directors) that such activities will be consistent with Company policies and applicable laws and standards.

 

In addition, lobbying activities by employees, officers and directors may require disclosure to government agencies.  Lobbying activities include, but are not limited to, contacting legislators, regulators, government officials, and their respective staff members on matters relating to the business of the Company or its affiliates, as well as any other efforts generally intended to influence legislation or administrative action.  Accordingly, employees, officers and directors must consult with the Company's General Counsel, if any, or the Company's Chief Financial Officer, before undertaking any lobbying activities on behalf of or related to the business of the Company or its affiliates.

XIV.        Certain Communications with Third-Parties

 

It is the Company's policy to comply with all applicable law and to cooperate with any reasonable and lawful request made in a government investigation.  All employees, officers and directors must immediately notify the Company's General Counsel, if any, or the Company's Chief Financial Officer, if they receive an inquiry, subpoena, or other legal document regarding the Company or any of its affiliates or its respective business from any governmental agency.  Employees, officers and directors must also immediately notify the Company's General Counsel, if any, or the Company's Chief Financial Officer, if any communications are received from lawyers concerning a dispute with the Company or any of the Company's affiliates or any of its respective employees, officers, directors, suppliers, contractors, vendors, partners, customers, or competitors.  In addition, employees, officers and directors should consult with the Company's General Counsel, if any, or the Company's Chief Financial Officer, before producing any documents, submitting to an interview, answering questions, or responding to any request regarding litigation or a government investigation concerning the Company or any of its affiliates or its respective business.

 

Following termination of service or employment with the Company, employees, officers and directors shall continue to cooperate with the Company during the course of all third-party proceedings, which includes internal investigations, administrative investigations, governmental investigations, or proceedings and lawsuits, arising out of the Company's business about which the former employee, officer, or director has knowledge or information. 

 

Former employees, officers and directors must not communicate with, or give statements to, any member of the media (including print, television, electronic, radio, or digital media) relating to any matter (including pending or threatened lawsuits or administrative investigations) about which they have knowledge or information as a result of service or employment with the Company.

 

XV.           Compliance Procedures

 

Distribution of this Code of Ethics

 

A copy of this Code of Ethics shall be furnished to each employee, officer, director and director nominee of the Company and shall be posted on the Company's website (www.TogaLimited.com).  Company officers are required to ensure that all Company personnel in the departments for which they are responsible receive a copy. 

 

Any employee who has a question concerning the interpretation or application of any provision of this Code of Ethics should consult his or her immediate manager, who may, if necessary, refer the question to the Head of Internal Audit or an appropriate Company Official.  Alternatively, any employee, officer or director may contact the Head of Internal Audit directly.

 

Reporting Violations

 

Any employee or officer who has knowledge of a violation by the Company or any employee, officer or director of any law, rule or regulation or this Code of Ethics, or suspects that such a violation has occurred, is required to report the matter to an independent third party via a dedicated toll-free hotline or a secure website, or in written form directly to the Head of Internal Audit in accordance with the process set forth on the Company's website (www. TogaLimited.com). All valid concerns will be investigated under the direction of the Chairman of the Audit Committee. 

 

 
9

 

 

The Company will make every effort, within the limits allowed by law, to keep confidential the identity of anyone requesting guidance or reporting a violation or suspected violation. However, it may not be possible to maintain the confidentiality of the reported person or the reported information if (i) disclosure is necessary to enable the Company or law enforcement officials to investigate the matter, (ii) disclosure is required by law or (iii) the person accused of a violation is entitled to the information as a matter of legal right.  All employees, officers and directors are expected to cooperate, to the extent requested, in any investigation of any violation of any law, rule or regulation or this Code of Ethics.

COMPOSITION AND ORGANIZATION

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Toga Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) shall be composed of three or more directors, each of whom is an “independent director” as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s “Corporate Governance Guidelines on Director Independence” in effect at the time the director is appointed as a member of the Committee.

 

The Board of Directors shall have sole authority to appoint and remove members of the Committee. Each year, following the Company’s Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors shall appoint the members of the Committee and select a Chairman of the Committee, who may be the incumbent Chairman or another member of the Committee.  In the absence of action by the Board, the existing committee members shall continue to serve as such until they resign or are removed.  The Board of Directors may remove any member from the Committee at any time with or without cause.

 

The Chairman of the Board shall serve as the Company liaison with the Committee.

 

PURPOSE

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its responsibilities to manage the business and affairs of the Company by:

 

 

·

developing and recommending to the Board for adoption, and thereafter periodically reviewing and maintaining, corporate governance principles and guidelines applicable to the Company (“Corporate Governance Guidelines”);

 

 

 

 

·

identifying and screening individuals qualified to become Board members, consistent with criteria approved by the Board, and recommending to the Board candidates for election as directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders as well as Board candidates to fill vacancies occurring on the Board, and considering any director candidates recommended by the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the procedures described in the Company’s proxy statement;

 

 

 

 

·

assessing and making recommendations to the Board regarding the size, composition, and performance of the Board;

 

 

 

 

·

establishing criteria and procedures to assist in the Board’s annual review and evaluation of the performance of the Board, the committees of the Board, and individual members of the Board; and making recommendations to the Board to improve such performance; and

 

 

 

 

·

evaluating any shareholder proposals received to ensure they comply with Nevada law, corporate governance and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, and recommending opposition or support of these proposals to the Board of Directors.

5.

If, during the course of a year, a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors, or if the Committee becomes aware of a pending vacancy, and the Board of Directors determines that the vacancy shall be filled by the Board, the Committee shall recommend to the Board a qualified individual for appointment by the Board to serve as a director until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

EXHIBIT 99.4

 

TOGA LIMITED

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

Adopted June 10, 2020

 

This Insider Trading Policy (this “Policy”) provides guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of Toga Limited (this “Company”), and the handling of confidential information about this Company and the companies with which this Company does business (“Other Companies”). This Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted this Policy to promote compliance with all federal and state securities laws that prohibit certain persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about this Company or Other Companies from: (i) trading in securities of this Company and any of the Other Companies or (ii) providing material nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information.

 

Persons Subject to this Policy

 

This Policy applies to all officers of this Company and its subsidiaries, all members of the Board, and all employees of this Company and its subsidiaries. This Company may also determine that other persons should be subject to this Policy, such as contractors or consultants who have access to material nonpublic information of this Company or any Other Company. This Policy also applies to family members, other members of a person’s household, and entities controlled by a person covered by this Policy, as described below.

 

Transactions Subject to this Policy

 

This Policy applies to transactions in this Company’s securities (collectively referred to in this Policy as “Company Securities”), including this Company’s common stock and preferred stock, warrants, options, convertible promissory notes, and any other type of derivative security, whether or not issued by the Company.

 

Individual Responsibility

 

This Company depends upon the conduct and diligence of its directors, officers, and other employees and consultants and this Company’s affiliates, in both their professional and personal capacities, to ensure full compliance with this Policy. Persons subject to this Policy have ethical and legal obligations to maintain the confidentiality of information about this Company and Other Companies (as applicable) and not to engage in transactions in Company Securities or securities of Other Companies while in possession of material nonpublic information about this Company or Other Companies. No one (especially persons subject to this Policy) may engage in illegal trading, and all such persons must avoid the appearance of improper trading. Each individual is responsible for making sure that he or she complies with this Policy, and that any family member, household member, or entity whose transactions are subject to this Policy, as discussed below, also comply with this Policy. In all cases, the responsibility for determining whether an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information rests with that individual. Any action on the part of this Company, the Compliance Director (as defined below), or any other employee or director pursuant to this Policy (or otherwise) does not in any way constitute legal advice or insulate an individual from any liability under applicable securities laws. You could be subject to severe legal penalties and disciplinary action by this Company for any conduct prohibited by this Policy or by applicable securities laws, as described below in more detail under the heading “Consequences of Violations.”

 

 
1

 

 

Administration of the Policy

 

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Alexander Henderson, shall serve as the Compliance Director (the “Compliance Director”) for the purposes of this Policy, and, in his absence, another director designated by the Compliance Director shall be responsible for administration of this Policy. The duties of the Compliance Director include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

·

Assisting with the implementation and enforcement of this Policy;

 

 

 

 

·

Circulating this Policy to all employees and ensuring that this Policy is amended as necessary to remain up to date with insider trading laws;

 

 

 

 

·

Pre-clearing all trading in securities of the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Policy;

 

 

 

 

·

Providing approval of any Rule 10b5-1 plans and any prohibited transactions in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Policy; and

 

 

 

 

·

Providing a reporting system with an effective whistleblower protection mechanism.

 

All determinations and interpretations by the Compliance Director shall be final and not subject to further review.

 

Statement of Policy

 

It is the policy of this Company that none of its directors, officers, or other employees (or any other person designated by this Policy or by the Compliance Director as subject to this Policy), who is aware of material nonpublic information relating to this Company, may directly, or indirectly through family members or other persons or entities:

 

 

1.

Engage in the purchase or sale or short sale or any other transaction of any Company Securities, except as otherwise specified in this Policy under the headings “Transactions Under Company Plans,” “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale,” and “Rule 10b5-1 Plans”;

 

 

 

 

2.

Recommend the purchase or sale or short-sale of any Company Securities;

 

 

 

 

3.

Disclose material nonpublic information to (“tip”) persons within this Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information, or outside of this Company to other persons, including, but not limited to, family, friends, business associates, investors, and expert consulting firms, unless any such disclosure is made in accordance with this Company’s policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of information regarding this Company; or

 

 

 

 

4.

Assist anyone engaged in the above activities.

 

 
2

 

 

In addition, it is the policy of this Company that none of its directors, officers, or other employees (or any other person designated as subject to this Policy), who, in the course of working for this Company, learns of material nonpublic information about a company with which this Company does business, including a customer or supplier of this Company, may trade in that Other Company’s securities until the information becomes public or is no longer material.

 

There are no exceptions to this Policy, except as specifically noted herein. Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure or for tax payments), or even small transactions, are not excepted from this Policy. The securities laws do not recognize any mitigating circumstances, and, in any event, even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve this Company’s reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

 

Definition of Material Nonpublic Information

 

Material Information. Information is considered “material” if a reasonable investor would consider that information important in making a decision to buy, hold, or sell securities. Any information that could be expected to affect a company’s stock price, whether it is positive or negative, should be considered material. There is no bright-line standard for assessing materiality; rather, materiality is based on an assessment of all of the facts and circumstances at the time of the potential securities transaction, and is often evaluated by enforcement authorities with the benefit of hindsight. When in doubt about whether particular nonpublic information is material, you should presume it is material. If you are unsure whether information is material, you should either consult the Compliance Director before making any decision to disclose such information (other than to persons who need to know it) or to trade in or recommend securities to which that information relates or assume that the information is material. While it is not possible to define all categories of material information, some examples of information that ordinarily would be regarded as material (unless and until disseminated to the public; see, When Information is Considered Public, below) are:

 

 

·

Projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings guidance;

 

·

Changes to previously announced earnings guidance (or estimates), or the decision to suspend earnings guidance, or unusual gains or losses in major operations;

 

·

Significant write-downs in assets or increases in reserves;

 

·

A pending or proposed merger, acquisition, divestiture, recapitalization, strategic alliance, licensing arrangement, purchase or sale of substantial assets, joint venture, corporate restructuring or a tender offer;

 

·

A pending or proposed acquisition or disposition of a significant asset;

 

·

Significant related party transactions;

 

·

A change in dividend policy, the declaration of a stock split, or an offering of additional securities;

 

·

Bank borrowings or other financing transactions out of the ordinary course;

 

·

The establishment of a repurchase program for Company Securities;

 

·

A change in this Company’s (or any Other Company’s) pricing or cost structure;

 

 
3

 

 

 

·

Major marketing changes;

 

·

A change in the Company’s management or Board;

 

·

A change in auditors or notification that the auditor’s reports may no longer be relied upon;

 

·

A significant change in accounting methods or policies;

 

·

Development of a significant new product, process, or service;

 

·

Pending or threatened significant litigation, the resolution of such litigation or government agency investigations;

 

·

Impending bankruptcy or the existence of severe liquidity problems;

 

·

Extraordinary borrowings;

 

·

The gain or loss of one or more significant customers, suppliers or contracts;

 

·

A significant cybersecurity incident, such as a data breach, or any other significant disruption in this Company’s (or Other Company’s) operations or loss, potential loss, breach, or unauthorized access of its property or assets, whether at its facilities or through its information technology infrastructure; or

 

·

The imposition of an event-specific restriction on trading in Company Securities or the securities of any Other Company or the extension or termination of such restriction.

 

When Information is Considered Public. Information that has not been disclosed to the public is generally considered to be “nonpublic information.” In order to establish that the information has been disclosed to the public, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the information has been widely disseminated. Information generally would be considered widely disseminated if it has been disclosed through the Dow Jones “broad tape,” newswire services, a broadcast on widely-available radio or television programs, publication in a widely-available newspaper, magazine, or news website, or public disclosure documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are available on the SEC’s website. By contrast, information would likely not be considered widely disseminated if it is available only to this Company’s employees, or if it is only available to a select group of analysts, brokers, and institutional investors. Nonpublic information may also include undisclosed facts that are the subject of rumors, even if the rumors are widely circulated, as well as information that has been entrusted to the Company on a confidential basis until a public announcement of the information has been made and enough time has elapsed for the market to respond to a public announcement of the information as set forth below. As with questions of materiality, if you are not sure whether information is considered public, you should either consult with the Compliance Director or assume that the information is nonpublic and treat it as confidential.

 

Once information has been widely disseminated, it is still necessary to provide the investing public with sufficient time to absorb the information. As a general rule, information should not be considered fully absorbed by the marketplace until after the second (2nd) business day after the day on which the information has been released. If, for example, this Company were to make an announcement on a Monday, you should not trade in Company Securities until Thursday. Depending on the particular circumstances, this Company may determine that a longer or shorter period should apply to the release of specific material nonpublic information.

Transactions by Family Members and Others

 

This Policy applies to your family members who reside with you (including a spouse, a child, a child away at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings, and in-laws), anyone else who lives in your household, and any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in Company Securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control, such as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in Company Securities (collectively referred to as “Family Members”). You are responsible for the transactions of these other persons and, therefore, should make them aware of the need to confer with you before they trade in Company Securities. You should treat all such transactions for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if the transactions were for you – for your own account. This Policy does not, however, apply to personal securities transactions of Family Members where the purchase or sale decision is made by a third-party not controlled by, influenced by, or related to you or your Family Members – for example, a professional financial advisor.

 

Transactions by Entities that You Influence or Control

 

This Policy applies to any entities that you influence or control, including any corporations, partnerships, or trusts (collectively referred to as “Controlled Entities”). Transactions by these Controlled Entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for you – for your own account.

 

Transactions Under Company Plans

 

This Policy does not apply in the case of the following transactions, except as specifically noted:

 

Stock Option Exercises. This Policy does not apply to the exercise of an employee stock option acquired pursuant to this Company’s plans, or to the exercise of a tax withholding right, pursuant to which a person has elected to have this Company withhold shares subject to an option to satisfy tax withholding requirements. This Policy does apply, however, to any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option.

 

Restricted Stock Awards. This Policy does not apply to the vesting of restricted stock, or the exercise of a tax withholding right, pursuant to which you elect to have this Company withhold shares of stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of any restricted stock. The Policy does apply, however, to any market sale of restricted stock.

 

Other Similar Transactions. Any other purchase of Company Securities from this Company or sales of Company Securities to this Company are not subject to this Policy.

 

Special and Prohibited Transactions

 

This Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Policy engage in certain types of transactions. It, therefore, is this Company’s policy that any persons covered by this Policy may not engage in any of the following transactions, or should otherwise consider this Company’s preferences as described below:

 

 
5

 

 

Short-Term Trading. Short-term trading of Company Securities may be distracting to the person and may unduly focus the person on this Company’s short-term stock market performance instead of this Company’s long-term business objectives. For these reasons, any director, officer, or other employee of this Company who purchases Company Securities in the open market may not sell any Company Securities of the same class during the six months following the purchase (or vice versa). Under certain circumstances, federal law would require that certain of such persons pay to this Company the profit that is made from those short-term trading activities.

 

Short Sales. Short sales of Company Securities (i.e., the sale of a security that the seller does not own) may evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value and, therefore, have the potential to signal to the market that the seller lacks confidence in this Company’s prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce a seller’s incentive to seek to improve this Company’s performance. For these reasons, short sales of Company Securities are prohibited. In addition, Section 16(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Act”), prohibits officers and directors from engaging in short sales. (Short sales arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the paragraph below captioned “Hedging Transactions.”)

 

Publicly-Traded Options. Given the relatively short term of publicly-traded options, transactions in options may create the appearance that a director, officer, or employee is trading based on material nonpublic information and also focus a director’s, officer’s, or other employee’s attention on short-term performance at the expense of this Company’s long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in put options, call options, or other derivative securities, on a stock exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited by this Policy. (Option positions arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the paragraph below captioned “Hedging Transactions.”)

 

Hedging Transactions. Hedging or monetization transactions can be accomplished through a number of possible mechanisms, including through the use of financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds. Such transactions may permit a director, officer, or employee to continue to own Company Securities obtained through employee benefit plans or otherwise, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the director, officer, or employee may no longer have the same objectives as this Company’s other stockholders. Therefore, you may not enter into hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to the Company Securities.

 

Margin Accounts and Pledged Securities. Securities held in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan may be sold by the broker without the customer’s consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material nonpublic information, or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company Securities, directors, officers, and other employees are prohibited from holding Company Securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Company Securities as collateral for a loan. (Pledges of Company Securities arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the paragraph above captioned “Hedging Transactions.”)

 

Standing and Limit Orders. Standing and limit orders (except standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 Plans, as described below) create heightened risks for insider trading violations similar to the use of margin accounts. There is no control over the timing of purchases or sales that result from standing instructions to a broker. As a result, the broker could (even unknowingly) execute a transaction when a director, officer, or other employee is in possession of material nonpublic information. Therefore, you are discouraged from placing standing or limit orders on Company Securities. If a person subject to this Policy determines that he or she must use a standing order or limit order, the order should be limited to short duration and should otherwise comply with the restrictions and procedures outlined below under the heading “Additional Procedures.”

 

 
6

 

 

Additional Procedures

 

This Company has established additional procedures in order to assist it in the administration of this Policy, to facilitate compliance with laws prohibiting insider trading while in possession of material nonpublic information, and to avoid the appearance of any impropriety. These additional procedures are applicable only to those individuals described below.

 

Pre-Clearance Procedures. The persons designated by the Compliance Director as being subject to these procedures, as well as the Family Members and Controlled Entities of such persons, may not engage in any transaction (including any transfers, gifts, pledge or loans) in Company Securities without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transaction from the Compliance Director. A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Compliance Director at least two (2) business days in advance of the proposed transaction. The Compliance Director is under no obligation to approve a transaction submitted for pre-clearance and may determine not to permit the transaction. If a person seeks pre-clearance and permission to engage in the transaction is denied, then he or she should refrain from initiating any transaction in Company Securities and should not inform any other person of the restriction. The Compliance Director shall record the date each request is received, and the date and time each request is approved or disapproved. Unless revoked, a grant of permission will normally remain valid until the close of trading two business days following the day on which it was granted. If the transaction does not occur during the two day period, pre-clearance of the transaction must be re-requested.

 

When a request for pre-clearance is made, the requestor should carefully consider whether he or she may be aware of any material nonpublic information about this Company and should describe fully those circumstances to the Compliance Director. The requestor should also indicate whether he or she has effected any non-exempt “opposite-way” transactions within the past six months, and should be prepared to report the proposed transaction on an appropriate Form 4 or Form 5. The requestor should also be prepared to comply with SEC Rule 144 and file Form 144, if necessary, at the time of any sale.

 

Quarterly Trading Restrictions. The persons designated by the Compliance Director as subject to this restriction, as well as their Family Members or Controlled Entities, may not conduct any transactions involving Company Securities (other than as specified by this Policy), during a “Blackout Period,” given that they generally possess (or are presumed to possess) material nonpublic information about the Company’s financial results. For the first, second, and third fiscal quarters, the “Blackout Period” begins five (5) calendar days prior to the end of the respective fiscal quarter and ends on the third (3rd) business day following the date of the public release of this Company’s financial results for that quarter. In other words, for the first, second, and third fiscal quarters, these persons may only conduct transactions in Company Securities during the “Window Period” beginning on the fourth (4th) business day following the public release of this Company’s quarterly earnings and ending on the sixth (6th) calendar day prior to the close of the next fiscal quarter. For the fourth fiscal quarter (which is also the end of the fiscal year), the “Blackout Period” begins fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the end of the fiscal fourth quarter/year end and ends on the third (3rd) business day following the date of the public release of this Company’s financial results for the year. In other words, for the fourth fiscal quarter/year end, these persons may only conduct transactions in Company Securities during the “Window Period” beginning on the fourth (4th) business day following the public release of the Company’s annual earnings and ending on the sixteenth (16th) calendar days prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of the next fiscal year.

 

 
7

 

 

Under certain very limited circumstances, a person subject to this restriction may be permitted to trade during a Blackout Period, but only if the Compliance Director concludes that the person does not in fact possess material nonpublic information. Persons wishing to trade during a Blackout Period must contact the Compliance Director for approval at least two (2) business days in advance of any proposed transaction involving Company Securities.

 

Event-Specific Trading Restriction Periods. From time to time, an event may occur that is material to this Company and is known by only a few directors, officers, and/or employees. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the persons designated by the Compliance Director may not trade Company Securities. In addition, this Company’s financial results may be sufficiently material in a particular fiscal quarter that, in the judgment of the Compliance Director, designated persons should refrain from trading in Company Securities even sooner than the typical Blackout Period described above. In that situation, the Compliance Director may notify these persons that they should not trade in Company Securities, without disclosing the reason for the restriction. The existence of an event-specific trading restriction period or extension of a Blackout Period will not be announced to the entire Company and should not be communicated to any other person. Even if the Compliance Director has not designated you as a person who should not trade due to an event-specific restriction, you should not trade while aware of material nonpublic information. Exceptions will not be granted during an event-specific trading restriction period.

 

Exceptions. The quarterly trading restrictions and event-specific trading restrictions do not apply to those transactions to which this Policy does not apply, as described above under the headings “Transactions Under Company Plans” and “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale.” Further, the requirement for pre-clearance, the quarterly trading restrictions, and event-specific trading restrictions do not apply to transactions conducted pursuant to approved Rule 10b5-1 plans, described under the heading “Rule 10b5-1 Plans.”

 

 
8

 

 

Rule 10b5-1 Plans

 

Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides a defense from insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5. In order to be eligible to rely on this defense, a person subject to this Policy must enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan for transactions in Company Securities that meets certain conditions specified in the Rule (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”). If the plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, Company Securities may be purchased or sold without regard to certain insider trading restrictions. To comply with the Policy, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be approved by the Compliance Director and meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and this Company’s “Guidelines for Rule 10b5-1 Plans,” which are attached hereto as Exhibit A. In general, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be entered into at a time when the person entering into the plan is not aware of material nonpublic information. Once the plan is adopted, the person must not exercise any influence over the amount of securities to be traded, the price at which they are to be traded or the date of the trade. The plan must either specify the amount, pricing, and timing of transactions in advance or delegate discretion on these matters to an independent third party. Any Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be submitted for approval ten (10) business days prior to the entry into the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. No further pre-approval of transactions conducted pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be required.

 

Post-Termination Transactions

 

This Policy continues to apply to transactions in Company Securities even after termination of service to this Company. If an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information when his or her service terminates, that individual may not trade in Company Securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. The pre-clearance procedures specified under the heading “Additional Procedures,” above, however, will cease to apply to transactions in Company Securities upon the expiration of any Blackout Period or other Company-imposed trading restrictions applicable at the time of the termination of service.

 

Consequences of Violations

 

The purchase or sale of securities while aware of material nonpublic information, or the disclosure of material nonpublic information to others who then trade in Company Securities, is prohibited by the federal and state laws. Insider trading violations are pursued vigorously by the SEC, U.S. Attorneys, and state enforcement authorities, as well as the laws of foreign jurisdictions. Punishment for insider trading violations is severe and could include significant fines and imprisonment. Given the severity of the potential penalties, compliance with this Policy is absolutely mandatory.

 

While the regulatory authorities concentrate their efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip inside information to others who trade, the federal securities laws also impose potential liability on companies and other “controlling persons” if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by Company personnel.

 

In addition, an individual’s failure to comply with this Policy may subject the individual to Company-imposed sanctions, including dismissal for cause, whether or not the employee’s failure to comply results in a violation of law. Needless to say, a violation of law, or even an SEC investigation that does not result in prosecution, can tarnish a person’s reputation and irreparably damage a career.

GUIDELINES FOR RULE 10B5-1 PLANS

 

Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), provides an affirmative defense from insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5. In order to be eligible to rely on this defense, a person subject to the Toga Limited Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”) must enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan for transactions in Company Securities (as defined in the Policy) that meets certain conditions specified in the Rule (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”). If the Rule 10b5-1 Plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, Company Securities may be purchased or sold without regard to certain insider trading restrictions. In general, a Rule 10b5‑1 Plan must be entered into in good faith, at a time when the person entering into that Plan is not aware of any material nonpublic information. Once the Rule 10b5-1 Plan has been adopted, the person must not exercise any influence over the amount of securities to be traded, the price at which they are to be traded or the date of the trade. The Rule 10b5-1 Plan must either specify the amount, pricing, and timing of transactions in advance or delegate discretion on these matters to an independent third party.

 

As specified in the Policy, a Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be approved by the Compliance Director and meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and these guidelines. Any Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be submitted for approval ten (10) business days prior to the entry into the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. No further pre-approval of transactions conducted pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be required.

 

The following guidelines apply to all Rule 10b5-1 Plans:

 

 

·

You may not enter into, modify, or terminate a trading program during a blackout period or while in possession of material nonpublic information.

 

 

 

 

·

All Rule 10b5-1 Plans must have a duration of at least six (6) months and no more than two (2) years.

 

 

 

 

·

If a Rule 10b5-1 Plan is terminated, you must wait at least thirty (30) calendar days before trading outside of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

 

 

 

 

·

If a trading program is terminated, you must wait until the commencement of the next trading window period (as set forth in the Policy) before a new Rule 10b5-1 plan may be adopted.

 

 

 

 

·

You may not commence sales under a trading program until at least thirty (30) calendar days following the date of establishment of a trading program. Any modification of a trading program must not take effect for at least thirty (30) calendar days from the date of modification.

 

Each director, officer, and other Section 16 insider understands that the approval or adoption of a preplanned selling program in no way reduces or eliminates such person’s obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including such person’s disclosure and short-swing trading liabilities thereunder. If any questions arise, such person should consult with their own counsel in implementing a Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

EXHIBIT 10.1

 

TOGA LIMITED

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

 Adopted June 10, 2020

 
I.    Purpose of Policy

 

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"), the Audit Committee of Toga Limited’s (the “Company’s”) Board of Directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor.

 

The purpose of the provisions of the Act and the SEC rules for the Audit Committee role in retaining the independent auditor is twofold. First, the authority and responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the auditor should be with directors who are independent of management. Second, the scope of any non-audit work performed by the auditor should be reviewed and approved by these independent directors to ensure that any non-audit services performed by the auditor do not impair the independence of the independent auditor.

 

In accordance with the Act, the SEC has adopted amended rules specifying the types of services that will impair the independence of a company’s auditor and governing the Audit Committee's administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence. Accordingly, the Audit Committee is adopting this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (this “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be pre-approved.

 
II.   Statement of Principles

 

A.   Prohibited Services

 

The Audit Committee will not approve, nor will the Company’s independent auditor perform for the Company, any services that constitute prohibited activities as defined by the Act or that would impair the independence of the auditor under regulations promulgated by the SEC. Prohibited activities include the following:

 

 

(1)

bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company;

 

 

 

 

(2)

financial information systems design and implementation;

 

 

 

 

(3)

appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;

 

 

 

 

(4)

actuarial services;

 

 

 

 

(5)

internal audit outsourcing services;

 

 

 

 

(6)

management functions or human resources;

 

 

 

 

(7)

broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services;

 

 

 

 

(8)

legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and

 

 

 

 

(9)

any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

  

 
1

 

 

B.    Non-Prohibited Services

 

The SEC’s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving non-prohibited services:

 

 

(1)

Specific Pre-Approval. The Audit Committee pre-approves the specific audit or non-audit service in advance.

 

 

 

 

(2)

General Pre-Approval. The Audit Committee approves one or more categories of audit or non-audit services in advance; provided that (i) the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular services to be provided, (ii) the Audit Committee must be informed as to each such service for which the auditor is retained, and (iii) the policies and procedures cannot result in a delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management.

 

 

 

The Company’s Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services that may be performed by the independent auditor. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor.  Any proposed services exceeding generally pre-approved cost levels must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

For all services, whether generally pre-approved or specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee will consider whether the proposed services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and whether the provision of such services by an independent auditor would impair the independent auditor’s independence.  The Audit Committee also will consider (i) whether the independent auditor is the best positioned to provide the proposed services most effectively and efficiently based on its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and (ii) whether the services are likely to enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.  Such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor necessarily will be determinative.   

 
IIIApproval of Audit Services

 

The annual audit services engagement scope and terms may be generally pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Services appropriately included in the audit engagement include the following:

 

 

(1)

Annual financial statement audit (including required quarterly reviews).

 

 

 

 

(2)

Other procedures required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit or quarterly review of operations and financial results.

 

 
2

 

  

The Audit Committee will monitor the audit services engagement throughout the year and will also approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions, and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items. The Audit Committee will request that the audit engagement letter with the independent auditor be addressed to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and that the Chairman of the Audit Committee execute the engagement letter on behalf of the Company.

 

IVApproval of Audit-Related Services

 

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements (e.g., research and consultation regarding accounting and financial reporting transactions) or services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services may include, but are not limited to:

 

 

(1)

Due diligence services pertaining to potential business acquisitions/dispositions;

 

 

 

 

(2)

Accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not otherwise classified as “Audit Services”;

 

 

 

 

(3)

Assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities;

 

 

 

 

(4)

Financial audits of employee benefit plans;

 

 

 

 

(5)

Agreed upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and

 

 

 

 

(6)

Assistance with internal control reporting requirements.

  

Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may generally pre-approve audit-related services. All audit-related services not generally pre-approved by the Audit Committee must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

V.    Approval of Tax Services
 

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the independent auditor may provide such services.  Hence, the Audit Committee may generally pre-approve tax services that the Audit Committee believes would not impair the independence of the auditor consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.  The Audit Committee will not approve the engagement of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the sole business purposes of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.  The Audit Committee will consult with the Chief Financial Officer, Controller, Director of Internal Audit, if any, outside counsel or other appropriate persons to determine whether the Company’s tax planning and reporting policies and practices are consistent with this Policy.  All tax services not generally pre-approved by the Audit Committee, and all tax services involving large and complex transactions, must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

 
3

 

 
VI.   Approval of All Other Services

 

Based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the independent auditor from providing specific non-audit services, the Audit Committee believes that other types of non-audit services are permitted.  Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as all other services that are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor, are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, and do not qualify as one of the prohibited services listed above in Section II(A).  If necessary, the Audit Committee will consult with an outside consultant or legal counsel of its choosing to determine the specific application of the SEC’s rules to specific situations.

 

All other services not generally pre-approved by the Audit Committee must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 
VII.  Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

 

The Audit Committee annually may establish ceilings on the level of fees and costs of generally pre-approved services that may be performed without seeking a re-approval from the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee will consider the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such service.  For each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may determine the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related and tax services, and the total amount of fees for services classified as all other services.


VIII. Procedures

 

The procedures the Audit Committee will employ in implementing this Policy are as follows:

 

A.

In advance of the November Audit Committee meeting each year, the Chief Financial Officer shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of audit services, and audit-related services, as well as tax services and other services, if any, that the Company wishes to have generally pre-approved for the ensuing fiscal year. The schedule shall be accompanied by:

  

 

(1)

a written description (which may consist of or include a description furnished to the Company by the independent auditor) of the services to be provided in detail sufficient to enable the Audit Committee to make an informed decision with regard to each proposed service, and, to the extent determinable, an estimate provided by the independent auditor of the fees for each of the services; and

 

 

 

 

(2)

confirmation of the independent auditor that (i) it would not be unlawful under Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) for the independent auditor to provide the listed non-audit services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) none of the services, if provided by the independent auditor to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would impair the independence of the auditor under the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of SEC Regulation S-X.

  

 
4

 

 

B.

The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next fiscal year at its regularly scheduled November Audit Committee meeting. The fee amounts on the schedule will be updated as necessary at any subsequent Audit Committee meetings. Additional pre-approval will be required if actual fees for a service are expected to exceed 10% of the originally pre-approved amount. This additional pre-approval should be obtained in the same manner as a specific pre-approval described below.

 

 

C.

If, subsequent to the general pre-approval of scheduled services by the Audit Committee, the Company would like to engage the independent auditor to perform a service not included on the schedule listing such services generally pre-approved by the Audit Committee any given fiscal year, a request should be submitted to the Director of Internal Audit, if any. If the Director of Internal Audit, if any, determines that the service can be performed without impairing the independence of the auditor, then a discussion and approval of the service shall be included on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting. If the timing for the service needs to commence before the next Audit Committee meeting, the chairman of the Audit Committee, or any other member of the Audit Committee designated by the Audit Committee, can provide specific pre-approval of such service.

 

 

D.

Approval by the Audit Committee for the auditor to perform any non-audit service does not require that management engage the Company’s independent auditor to perform those services. Company's management may engage other third parties to perform non-audit services for which the Audit Committee has given pre-approval to be performed by the independent auditor.

 

 

E.

Once the Audit Committee has given pre-approval for services to be performed by the independent auditor, the appropriate Company management may engage the auditor and execute any necessary document for the performance of non-audit services within the scope of the pre-approval.

 

 

F.

The Audit Committee has designated the Director of Internal Audit (or the Chief Financial Officer if there is no Director of Internal Audit), to monitor and report on the performance of all services provided by the Company’s independent auditor and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Director of Internal Audit will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of his or her monitoring. Both the Director of Internal Audit and the Company’s management will promptly report to the Chair of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to their attention.

  

 
5

 


IX. Delegation

 

As provided in the Act and the SEC's rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to its chairperson or any other Audit Committee member or members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated should report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Audit Committee will not delegate to management the Audit Committee's responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has approved the delegation of up to $40,000 in pre-approval authority for audit and non-audit services to either the chairperson or any other authorized member of the Audit Committee.

 

X. Reports

 

No less frequently than annually, the independent auditor shall report to the Audit Committee on the specific services provided by and the amounts paid to the independent auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall report to the Audit Committee (with a copy to the Chief Executive Officer) on the specific services provided by and the amounts paid by the Company to the other accounting firms engaged pursuant to this Policy.  Such reports shall, at a minimum, list and describe all of the services provided by such firms and identify the exact sums paid by the Company to each firm in connection with each separate engagement.  Such reports will include a summary of findings, if significant.  Material findings such as control weaknesses, significant deficiencies, or identified improprieties, will be promptly reported to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Reporting and Investigation

 

If you believe that any Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity has occurred or is occurring, or you have a good faith concern regarding conduct that you reasonably believe may be a Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity, we encourage you to promptly take one or more of the following actions:

 

 

·

Discuss the situation with your manager.

 

 

 

 

·

If you are uncomfortable speaking with your manager or believe your manager has not properly handled your concern or is involved in the Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity, contact the General Counsel, if any, or the Compliance Officer, Head of Internal Audit, Chief Financial Officer, or other officer.

 

 

 

 

·

If you do not believe your concern is being adequately addressed, or you are not comfortable speaking with one of the above-noted contacts, report your concern using one of the methods listed below, through which you may choose to identify yourself or remain anonymous:

  

 

·

by mail to Toga Limited, 2575 McCabe Way, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92614, Attn: Compliance Officer

 

 

 

 

·

by email to the Company’s Compliance Officer at alex.henderson@togalimited.com

 

 

 

 

·

by phone to the Company’s Compliance Officer at (949) 333-1603.

if for any reason you do not feel comfortable using the above reporting structure, you may report as an alternative to the Company’s outside counsel, Jeffrey P. Berg, by email at JBerg@bakerlaw.com or by phone at (310) 442-8850.

  

This Policy provides a mechanism for the Company to be made aware of any alleged wrongdoings and address them as soon as possible. However, nothing in this Policy is intended to prevent any employee from reporting information to federal or state law enforcement agencies when an employee has reasonable cause to believe that the violation of a federal or state statute has occurred. A report to law enforcement, regulatory, or administrative agencies may be made instead of, or in addition to, a report directly to the Company through the ethics or reporting hotline or any other reporting method specified in this Policy.

 

Receipt of the report will be acknowledged to the sender within a reasonable period following receipt if the sender supplied an address for response.

 

All reports of a Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity will be taken seriously and will be promptly and thoroughly investigated. The specific action taken in any particular case depends on the nature and gravity of the conduct or circumstances reported and the results of the investigation. 

 

 
2

 

 

If a Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity has been reported, investigated, and confirmed, the Company will take prompt corrective action proportionate to the seriousness of the offense. This action may include disciplinary action against the accused party, up to and including termination of employment or any other working relationship that the offending party may have with the Company. Reasonable and necessary steps will also be taken to prevent any further Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity.

 

However, a party who knowingly and intentionally files a false report or provides false or deliberatively misleading information in connection with an investigation of a report may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or other legal proceedings.

 

Handling Reports

 

Reports of Violations, Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity, or other questionable conduct that are submitted by any means specified in this Policy will be handled as follows:

 

All reports received relating to accounting and auditing, including Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity, will be entered on an accounting and auditing matters log, which will include, among other things: (1) the date the report was received, (2) a description of the report, (3) the reporting party (if provided), and (4) the status and disposition of an investigation of the report. 

 

The General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer will promptly report to the Audit Committee: (1) reports of Ethics Violations or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity, including any such reports that are received by the General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head Of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer, but were not initially directed to the Audit Committee, (2) any Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity involving the Company's executive officers or directors, and (3) such other matters as the General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head Of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer deems significant. The Audit Committee shall direct and oversee an investigation of such reports, as well as any reports initially directed to the Audit Committee, as it determines to be appropriate. The Audit Committee may also delegate the oversight and investigation of such reports to management, including the General Counsel, if any, the Chief Financial Officer, the Controller, the Compliance Officer, the Head of Internal Audit, or outside advisors, as appropriate.

 

All other reports regarding accounting or auditing matters shall be reviewed under the direction and oversight of the General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head Of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer, who will involve such other parties (such as the Compliance Officer, the Internal Audit Department, members of the Finance Department or outside advisors) as deemed appropriate.

 

The General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head Of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer shall provide the Audit Committee with a quarterly report of all accounting or auditing reports received and an update of pending investigations. The Audit Committee may request special treatment for any report and may assume the direction and oversight of an investigation of any such report.

 

All other reports will be logged separately and shall be reviewed under the direction and oversight of General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head Of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer, who will forward them to the appropriate person or department for investigation (for example, labor and employment matters will be forwarded to the Human Resources Department), unless the General Counsel, if any, Compliance Officer, Head Of Internal Audit, or other authorized officer determines that other treatment is necessary.

 

 
3

 

 

Confidentiality

 

Information disclosed during the course of the investigation will, to the extent practical and appropriate, remain confidential in compliance with the Company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, except as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances to facilitate the investigation, take remedial action, or comply with applicable law.

 

For any Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity not reported through an anonymous report, we will advise the reporting party that the Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity has been addressed and, if we can, of the specific resolution. However, due to confidentiality obligations, there may be times when we cannot provide the details regarding the corrective or disciplinary action that was taken

 

Nothing in this Policy in any way prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede employees from discussing the terms and conditions of their employment with co-workers or union representatives, exercising protected rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement, or otherwise disclosing information as permitted by law.

 

No Retaliation

 

The Company strictly prohibits and does not tolerate unlawful retaliation against any employee, officer, or independent contractor for reporting a Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity or suspected Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity in good faith or otherwise cooperating in an investigation of a Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity. All forms of unlawful retaliation are prohibited, including any form of adverse action, discipline, threats, intimidation, or other form of retaliation for reporting under or complying with this Policy. The Company considers retaliation a Violation itself, which will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or any other working relationship with the Company.

 

If you have been subject to any conduct that you believe constitutes retaliation for having made a report in compliance with this Policy or for having participated in any investigation relating to an alleged Violation or Fraudulent Auditing and Accounting Activity, please immediately report the alleged retaliation to Human Resources, General Counsel, if any, the Compliance Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or other authorized officer, ideally within ten (10) days of the offending conduct. If, for any reason, you do not feel comfortable discussing the alleged retaliation with these people, please report the alleged retaliation through the ethics or reporting hotline by phone to the Company’s Compliance Officer at (949) 333-1603. These individuals will ensure that an investigation is conducted in a timely fashion.

 

Your complaint should be as detailed as possible, including the names of all individuals involved and any witnesses. The Company will directly and thoroughly investigate the facts and circumstances of all perceived retaliation and will take prompt corrective action, if appropriate.

 

 
4

 

 

Additionally, any manager or supervisor who observes retaliatory conduct must report the conduct to the VP of Human Resources, General Counsel, if any, the Compliance Officer, or Chief Financial Officer, or other authorized officer, so that an investigation can be made and corrective action taken, if appropriate.

 

Bringing any alleged retaliation to our attention promptly enables us to honor our values, and to promptly and appropriately investigate the reported retaliation in accordance with the procedures outlined above.

 

Any employee, regardless of position or title, who has been determined to have engaged in retaliation in violation of this Policy, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or any other working relationship with the Company.

 

Modification

 

The Company expressly reserves the right to change, modify, or delete the provisions of this Policy without notice.

 

Administration

 

The Compliance Officer is responsible for the administration of this Policy. All employees are responsible for consulting and complying with the most current version of this Policy.
