Working with integrity
Insider information
In our jobs, we may have access to insider information – that is confidential information which would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on our share price, the value of our business, or the value or share price of our business partners.
It’s fine to know inside information but it is illegal to share, personally use or encourage someone else to use it to buy, sell or otherwise deal in securities. This is called insider trading or tipping.
To maintain our integrity and trust in us, we must protect and respect Company information and information gathered about our business partners.
- Take care to keep any insider information strictly confidential.
- Never use or disclose insider information about OceanaGold or business partners for personal gain or to assist another.
- Do not trade in securities of OceanaGold or business partners when we possess insider information.
- Follow the blackout periods when it is not possible to trade in OceanaGold securities.
- If we are not sure, ask our legal team for advice.
- Not exercising caution before using confidential information.
- Not checking that the information we have is public before using it.
- Discussing information obtained at work with our family or friends.
- Making recommendations to our family or friends about whether to buy or sell OceanaGold securities or securities of a business partner.
