MTM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has
adopted the following Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the
“Code”) for all directors, officers and employees of the
Company. This Code is intended to deter wrongdoing and to
promote:
-
Honest and ethical conduct, including
the ethical handling of apparent or actual conflicts of
interest between personal and professional relationships;
-
Compliance with applicable governmental
laws, rules and regulations;
- Full, fair, accurate, timely, and
understandable disclosure in our filings with and
submissions to the Securities and Exchange Commission and in
other public communications;
- Prompt internal reporting of violations
of this Code; and
- Accountability for adherence to this
Code.
You must comply with the letter and spirit
of this Code.
No code or policy can anticipate every situation that may arise
or replace the thoughtful behavior of an ethical individual.
Directors and executive officers are encouraged to bring
questions about particular circumstances that may implicate one
or more of the provisions of this Code to the attention of the
Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,
and employees are encouraged to the Company’s General Counsel
and/or any person designated by the Board of Directors (each and
any of whom, a “Compliance Chief”).
-
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
You must avoid any conflicts of interest between your
personal interests and the Company’s interests. Any
situation that involves, or may reasonably be expected to
involve, a conflict of interest with the Company, should be
disclosed promptly to a Compliance Chief. A “conflict of
interest” can occur when:
- Your personal interest is adverse to—or
may appear to be adverse to—the interests of the Company as
a whole.
-
As
a result of your position with the Company, you or a
family member (i.e., a spouse, parent, child or sibling,
whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone
residing in your home) receives personal benefits—from
the Company, any of its partners, vendors, suppliers or
customers, or anyone else with whom the Company does
business—that have not been duly authorized and approved
pursuant to Company policy and procedure or that could
be expected to affect your business judgment on behalf
of the Company.
Some of the more common conflicts which you should avoid are
listed below:
-
Relationship of Company with
third-parties You may not receive a personal benefit from a person or firm
that is seeking to do business or to retain business with
the Company.
-
Compensation from non-Company sources You may not accept compensation (in any form) for services
performed for the Company from any source other than the
Company.
-
Gifts You may not offer, give or receive gifts from persons or
entities who deal with the Company in those cases where any
such gift is being made in order to influence your actions,
or where acceptance of the gifts could create the appearance
of a conflict of interest.
-
Personal use of Company assets You may not use Company assets, labor or information for
personal use unless approved by a Compliance Chief, or as
part of a compensation or expense reimbursement program
available to all directors, officers and/or employees, as
the case may be.
-
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
You are prohibited from:
-
Taking for yourself opportunities that
are discovered through the use of Company property, Company
information or your position with the Company;
-
Using the Company’s property or
information for personal gain; or
-
Competing with the Company for business
opportunities.
However, if the
Compliance Chief advises you that the Company will not pursue an opportunity that relates
to the Company’s business, you may then do so.
-
CONFIDENTIALITY
You must maintain the confidentiality of information
entrusted to you by the Company, its customers, partners, or
business associates and any other confidential information
about or related to the Company its customers, partners, or
business associates that comes to you, from whatever source,
in your capacity as a director, officer or employee of the
Company, except when disclosure is authorized or legally
mandated.
For purposes
of this Code, “confidential information” includes all
non-public information relating to the Company, its
customers, partners, or business associates.
-
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND
REGULATIONS; FAIR DEALING You must comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable
to the Company, including insider trading laws. You will
cooperate fully with any inquiry or investigation by law
enforcement or regulatory authorities regarding an alleged
violation of law by the Company or its directors, officers
or employees. You will provide equal opportunity to all
persons, and not discriminate and not tolerate harassment.
You must deal fairly with the Company’s customers,
suppliers, competitors and employees.
-
DISCLOSURE REPORTING
The information you provide to the Company and its
independent auditors in connection with the Company’s
preparation of its filings with and submissions to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other
public communications (such as press releases) must be:
-
Complete;

Fair;
-
Accurate;
-
Timely; and
-
Understandable.
You will comply with all financial
reporting and accounting regulations applicable to the
Company. You will further cooperate with the Company’s

matters.

on the fact that a director, officer or employee reported or
complained of a violation or deviation from this Code of
Ethics, discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass or in
any other manner discriminate or retaliate against any other
director, officer or employee who reports or complains of
violations of or deviations from this Code of Ethics or of
other illegal or unethical conduct, unless such report or
complaint is made with knowledge that it was false. Any such
act of retaliation is itself a serious violation of this
Code of Ethics
-
COMPLIANCE STANDARDS
You should communicate any suspected violations of this Code
promptly to a Compliance Chief. Violations will be
investigated by the Board of Directors or by persons
designated by the Board of Directors, and appropriate
disciplinary action will be taken in the event of any
violations of this Code, including termination of employment
or, in the case of any director, refusal by the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee (or the entire Board or
another committee performing a similar function) to nominate
such director for re-election.
