Policy Itis the policy of Marriott International, Inc, ("Marriott” or "the Company") to comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and the U.K. Bribery Act. In addition, many countries have enacted their own anti-corruption laws and thus it is increasingly important to ensure that, in complying with this Policy, you are familiar with the laws and regulations that apply to you and your area of responsibility. This Policy applies to our business conducted around the world and prohibits all forms of bribery in both the public and private sectors. It is against the law and Company policy to promise, offer, give, or authorize, directly or indirectly, a bribe or anything of value to any person, including any government official, employee of, or representative of, a state-owned or controlled entity, in order to obtain or retain business or gain any other type of business or competitive advantage for Marriott. These payments are prohibited whether they are called “kickbacks,” “facilitation payment “bribes”; for purposes of this Policy, all such payments are referred to as “bribes.” This prohibition against offering, promising or paying bribes also applies to all third parties who provide services and act on Marriott's behalf, such as business partners, consultants, contractors, vendors, suppliers or agents. This Policy likewise covers the receipt of a bribe by, or for the benefit of, a Marriott associate. The Information provided below is only a summary of the FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act and does not cover every aspect of those or other applicable laws. Marriott publishes and provides amplifying guidance and training related to these anti-corruption laws. Questions that are not specifically answered by this Policy can be resolved by referring to other sources published on the Company's intranet, such as the FAQs referenced at the end of this Policy, or by contacting Marriott's Law Department for guidance. 2. U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act A. Anti-Bribery ‘The FCPA prohibits giving or offering anything of value to non-U.S. government officials and employees for the improper Purpose of influencing any decision to benefit the Company. The FCPA also prohibits giving or offering anything of value indirectly through third persons if the payor has knowledge or strong suspicions that those third persons intend to make prohibited payments. ‘The FCPA's anti-bribery provisions are broadly written. A bribe can be anything of value given in an attempt to influence: a person's actions or decisions in order to gain or retain a business advantage and can include: + cash + gifts htps:mgscloud marriott. comstandards7id=1810 49 91622, 10:02 PM Global Ani-Bribery and Ant-Corrupton (US.

A foreign official includes any elected or appointed government official or government employee from any of the following entities or anyone acting in an official capacity on behalf of these entities: a. Any government, government agency, department or branch (including the military and members of the ruling Royal families); b. Any government ministry or bureau (including ministries of tourism or government-controlled visitors bureaus); ©. Any federal, state, local or municipal level of government; d.

B. Books and Records In addition to prohibiting bribery of foreign officials, the FCPA also requires that a corporation's books, records and accounts be kept "in reasonable detail’ to "accurately and fairly reflect” its business transactions. The requirement to be accurate and complete applies to all books and records and encompasses expense reports, invoices and all business- related documents. htps:mgscloud marriott. comstandards7id=1810 59 91622, 10:02 PM Global Ani-Bribery and Ant-Corrupton (US.

U.K. Bribery Act Similar to the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act prohibits bribery of foreign public officials for the improper purpose of influencing any decision to benefit the Company. The U.K. Bribery Act further prohibits the bribery of any person for the improper purpose of influencing any decision to benefit the Company thus this law is broader than the FCPA as it specifically prohibits bribery in the commercial context. Under the U.K. Bribery Act, both the bribe giver and the bribe recipient can be subject to liability, including criminal prosecution, The U.K. Bribery Act also mandates that adequate procedures must be adopted by a company to prevent bribery.
