We prevent insider trading
Our shared responsibility
We do not use confidential information for personal gain. If we have insider information about Omterra or another company, we do not buy or sell shares based on that information.
Why it matters
Using insider information for trading is illegal and can lead to fines or criminal charges. It can also damage our reputation. Even casual conversations can create risk. We protect ourselves and Omterra by handling sensitive information with care.
How we energize with integrity
We prevent insider trading by:
- Not buying or selling shares or other securities based on insider information.
- Not telling others — including friends or family — to trade based on insider information.
- Keeping insider information strictly confidential and sharing it only with authorized persons.
- Acting carefully when discussing sensitive topics.
- Contacting Legal and Compliance if we are unsure whether information is considered insider information.

Tipping:
Sharing insider information that may enable someone else to trade on it.
Make it current
Question: I learned that Omterra will soon announce a major contract that could move our share price. Can I tell a family member so they can invest before the news is public?
Answer: No. That would be tipping, which is prohibited and a crime. Never share sensitive nonpublic information, and do not trade on it.
