Questions:

1. I recently learned that our company will announce great/ disappointing financial results for this quarter. Is this
insider information?

Yes. This kind of financial news can have a positive/ negative effect on a company's stock price and would certainly be
considered material non-public information, or insider information.

2. I accidentally saw a copy of a confidential memo describing a large contract that our bank will soon sign with
another company. If I buy some of the other company's stock on the basis of this information or share this
information with someone else for them to buy, before news of the contact is made public, am I engaging in
insider trading?

Yes. Assuming that the news of this contract is material non-public information, or insider information, if you purchase
securities of the other company on the basis of this information before it becomes public, you are engaging in insider-
trading.

3. I just received some confidential information about a competitor company. I didn't ask for it, but this kind of
information could be very useful to me. What should I do?

Before you read or copy this information, call the Legal Department to discuss how the information was acquired. That will
determine whether or not you may use it. If you are allowed to use it, follow the Legal Department's instruction for
documenting the source of the information.

4. A friend who works for another company asked me to provide the names of some of my business contacts. My
friend's company is not our competitor. Is it OK to share this information?

Business contact Information is not only confidential, but because it can identify an individual, it is considered personal
data. It should not be shared with anyone except as required or with the permission of the business contact. If you believe
your friend could use the services of your business contact's company, you could either ask your business contact if he or
she is comfortable with you sharing his or her contact information or pass along your friend's company information to your
business contact(with the friend's permission).

same department, as it might induce actual or perceived subjectivity in daily activities, raise
conflict of interest or lead to undue influence in their operations. For the ease of

Limited and IDFC FIRST Bank Limited.

Questions:

1. My cousin owns a controlling interest in a company that is a supplier to IDFC FIRST


Bharat Ltd for many years. I have been recently hired, and in my position, I have authority
to contract with the same supplier. Am I faced with a potential conflict of interest?

Even though the supplier is a long time vendor of the Bank, a conflict has now been created
because you are involved in the decision-making process. In this case, the problem may be
resolved if an independent decision maker acts instead of you. The important action for you
to take is to formally dis-close the potential conflict to your manager so that it may be
resolved.

2. My neighborhood has an underprivileged school and I have been invited many times to
coach the students on subjects like math and accountancy over the weekend. And they
have agreed to pay a nominal amount of IBR 500 per month. Can I help?

Employees are not permitted to avail any monetary benefit from undertaking charitable,
educational, social, artistic work or any business activity. This ensures that there is no
conflict of interest towards the secondary activity. Do reach out to your HR Business Partner
via email with the details of the school and your involvement. If at any course of time in the
future, the teaching evolves into handling other activities for the school, then this would be in
direct violation to the Code of Conduct. Also, the company holds all rights to withdraw the
permission provided to its employees to participate/ volunteer in other activities like the
above.

get me a lifetime discount for all travel expenses that the company would incur in the
future, in exchange for a reduction in interest rate on the product. This would benefit my
company. What should I do?

Employees should never offer or accept any bribe or inducement, which may influence or
appear to influence their actions. Nor should employees misuse their position or the
information they gather during the course of their duties to further their private interests or of
anyone else. You should state to the customer that this would be against the Code of
