Violations of the insider trading laws can result in severe civil and criminal sanctions. For example, under
U.S. securities laws, individuals may be subject to imprisonment for up to 20 years, criminal fines of up to
$500万 and civil fines of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided. Failure to comply with this Policy may also result in disciplinary action by Powell, up to and including immediate dismissal for cause, whether or not any civil or criminal penalties arise from the ‘inside’ securities trading.
