The purpose of this Insider Trading Policy (‘Policy’) is to describe the treatment and restricted use of Nonpublic Material Information relating to Mediarex Enterprises Ltd (C73768) and its affiliates and subsidiary entities (the ‘Group’). This Policy particularly seeks to protect any confidential and price-sensitive information to ensure that the market for the Tokens remains transparent and therefore trading of Tokens is a fair process for all.

The Policy is applicable to all the Associates of the Group and shall continue to apply to such persons throughout the course of their employment or association with the Group. This Policy shall also specifically apply to all Associates who may have received any Tokens from the Group by way of any Group distribution scheme.

The Group has adopted this Policy to promote compliance with applicable laws to prevent insider trading by its’ Associates. The Group’s legal team has been given authority to implement, enforce and interpret this Policy, as well as to make reports about any breaches or matters arising under this Policy which may result in criminal actions being taken against the individuals reported. All questions regarding this Policy should be directed to the Group’s legal team.

The Company expects strict compliance with this Policy by all Associates. Failure to observe the requirements of this Policy may result in serious legal consequences, including criminal fines and civil penalties, for the violating Associate. Failure to follow the letter and spirit of this Policy may serve as a basis for disciplinary action, including but not limited to the termination of employment or association with the Group, as may be deemed appropriate at the Group’s absolute and sole discretion.

the digital token of potential partners that are made available for sale through the ‘Locker Room’ function on the Socios app for a specific period of time and converted to Fan Tokens if and when the partner to which they relate signs a partnership deal with the Group.

Material Information

information that there is a substantial likelihood a reasonable individual would consider important in making a decision to buy or sell Tokens or other instruments that is likely to have a significant effect on the market price and overall performance of the relevant Token. Material Information can be positive or negative and can relate to any aspect of the Group’s business, including but not limited to, significant changes in the Group’s prospects, potential partnerships, new and upcoming projects, changes in assets, earnings or reserves, changes in management, plans or agreements even if preliminary in nature involving mergers, acquisitions, licensing arrangements, purchases or sales of assets. Material Information is not limited to historical facts but may also include projections and forecasts. Determinations of materiality are always almost judged with the benefit of hindsight and, as such, when in doubt Associates should assume that the information is material and treat it accordingly. If unsure whether information is material, Associates should consult the Group’s Senior Personnel before making any decision to disclose such information or to trade in or recommend Tokens to which that information relates.

Nonpublic

information that has not been disclosed generally to the market or to the public. Unless such information was disseminated in a manner designed to reach individuals, and at least one day elapsed between the time of the event or when the information became known and its public disclosure, it shall be deemed to be Nonpublic. Nonpublic information may include (i) information available to a select group of individuals within the Group, (ii) undisclosed facts that are subject of rumors, (iii) information that has been entrusted to the Group 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 with questions of materiality, if it is unclear as to whether information nonpublic, Associates should either consult with any Senior Personnel or assume that the information is nonpublic and treat it as confidential.

Related Person

Participating in any of the following transactions is strictly prohibited, irrespective whether a gain or loss is made from such transactions:

4.1. Insider Trading Restrictions

a) Trading on Nonpublic Material Information. Associates in possession of, or aware of, Nonpublic Material Information relating to the Group and/or the Tokens may NOT purchase or sell (or offer to purchase or sell) Tokens, engage in or encourage a Related Person to purchase, sell or in any way encourage any other action which would take advantage of such Nonpublic Material Information, until after the lapse of one full day following the date of public disclosure of such Material Information.

b) Tipping. Associates MAY NOT disclose Nonpublic Material Information to other persons or entities (including Related Persons) that could purchase or sell Tokens. An Associate who tips others may also be liable for transactions done by such ‘tipped’ persons to whom the Associate had disclosed Nonpublic Material Information. Tippers can be subject to the same penalties and sanctions as the ‘tipped’ persons that have executed the transaction, even when the tipper did not profit from the transaction.

c) Information about other Companies. Associates may become aware of Nonpublic Material Information of other companies, separate and distinct from the Group, in the course of their association with the Group. Associates are prohibited from purchasing or selling Tokens or securities of other companies while they are in possession of, or aware of, such Nonpublic Material Information and from passing such information on to other persons or entities who could purchase or sell the Tokens or any other instruments of such other companies. This Policy requires Associates to treat Nonpublic Material Information of such companies with the same care required with respect to Nonpublic Material Information related directly to the Group.

Specific Events. Under certain circumstances, the Group may impose a complete ban on the purchase/trading of Tokens as a result of specific events or during a specific timeframe and may result in Associate accounts being temporarily locked. Associates affected by such specific blackouts will be notified with respect to the specific blackout periods and all such periods will be managed in all respects by the Group’s Senior Personnel.

Strictly subject to the Insider Trading Restrictions mentioned in section 4.1 above, the following transactions are permitted on Chiliz.net and Socios.com platforms (and any other platforms operated by the Group):

I. Purchase of Fan Tokens and/or Locker Room Tokens during FTO (on both Chiliz.net and Socios.com platforms) that do not exceed 50 (fifty) individual tokens for each partner;
II. At any point in time, Associates shall ensure that they do NOT hold more than fifty (50) individual tokens for each partner in both the Socios and Chiliz.net wallets altogether.

All Associates must disclose their user IDs for any Group-owned platforms, including Socios.com and Chiliz.net.

The Group shall monitor Associate accounts periodically. Any Associate breaching this Policy may result in disciplinary proceedings being taken against the Associate and other actions which the Group deems appropriate, including the blocking of the relevant accounts and confiscation of Tokens.

The restrictions set out in this Policy do not apply in cases where the Group issues dedicated guidelines and instructions in relation to the trading of Tokens pursuant to any token distribution scheme, or similar document, launched by the Group following the distribution of (any) Tokens to employees and/or Associates.

Associates may establish written orders with authorized exchanges which permit automatic trading of Tokens as long as such trading plans (buy order / sell orders) are NOT made during a blackout period and in accordance with the Insider Trading Restrictions outlined in Section 4.1 above.

Under this Policy, all Associates are expected to treat as sensitive and confidential all nonpublic Material Information relating to the Group. Associates may not disclose such information to any third party who does not have a legitimate need for such information in connection with the Group’s business. Associates are expected to be careful that their conversations are not overheard and to take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that confidential documents containing such information are not left unattended. Any and all inquiries about the Group that may be made by the press or general public should be referred to either of the following individuals:

• Ms Emma Diskin – Chief Operating Officer: emma@chiliz.com; or
• Mr Waylon Johnston – Corporate Communications & Content Manager: waylon@chiliz.com
