Integrity and Ethics

Overview
Integrity and trust form the foundation of good corporate citizenship and frame McAfee’s relationships with customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, and local communities. Through our adherence to ethical business practices, and through timely, accurate, and consistent financial reporting, we continually enhance shareholder value and maintain industry leadership in all aspects of corporate governance.

We are proud of the significant steps that McAfee has taken to create a culture of ethics and leadership in corporate governance. Beginning in 2001, we made systematic changes to our governance and business practices. We created Global Audit Services, an experienced team of auditors whose primary mission is to monitor internal controls throughout all business units and geographies. These essential checks and balances ensure that internal financial transactions are processed correctly, accurately, and on a timely basis. We provide transparent, timely, consistent, and credible information that complies with legal and regulatory requirements to the investing public.

A cornerstone of our commitment to corporate citizenship is the McAfee Ethics First program. This comprehensive plan provides employees at all levels with the tools and resources they need to make ethical decisions. It covers employee hiring and training, company communications, and regular audits to ensure that we are continually evaluating the effectiveness of our corporate policies.

McAfee’s anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies comply with federal laws and include a required compliance training course for all McAfee employees, as well as designated channel partners and distributors.

McAfee Ethics First enhances communication and promotes safety, security, and ethical behavior across our entire business. It consists of:

• Hiring employees with the highest standards of integrity
• Training all employees on ethics and related issues
• Sharing ethical best practices and lessons learned inside and outside the company through consistent communication practices
• Assessing the state of our ethical culture and the effectiveness of our programs in regular audits

Our success is dependent on these enduring values, and no achievement is ever worth the expense of compromising ethical behavior. These values are also expressed in the McAfee Standards of Conduct.

As a key component of McAfee Ethics First, we offer an anonymous hotline for addressing suspected violations. EthicsPoint, a third-party vendor, hosts an online tool that allows employees, customers, distributors, resellers, and suppliers to share information in support of the McAfee Ethics First program.

The McAfee Standards of Conduct emphasize the importance of our business relationships and outline basic principles for expected behavior, including:

• Integrity must permeate our dealings with customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, local communities, governments, and the general public wherever we operate.
• Management is expected to be fair and consistent in its working relationships.
• Employees must maintain an atmosphere of ethical action and mutual respect shared by all.

View the complete McAfee Standards of Conduct.

As a matter of policy, McAfee and all its subsidiaries, as well as all directors, officers, employees, and contractors, must comply with the following anti-bribery initiatives:

• The U.S. Anti-Kickback Act of 1986, which prohibits offering or accepting, directly or indirectly, bribes to obtain business with the U.S. government
• The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits offering a bribe, directly or indirectly, to a non-U.S. government official or a family member of a non-U.S. government official in order to obtain or retain business or to otherwise secure an improper advantage over a competitor
• The Organization of American States (OAS) Inter-American Convention Against Corruption
• The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials

FCPA Training
All McAfee employees, as well as designated channel partners and distributors, are required to take McAfee’s online FCPA compliance training course on a periodic basis. Violations of the policy may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment or the existing business relationship with McAfee. FCPA policy is administered by the McAfee legal department; suspected violations can be submitted through the Ethics First reporting system.
