LAUNCH OF MSC SPEAK-UP LINE
Geneva, October 17, 2018

Dear all,

Consistent with MSC’s Values, the ability to speak-up is a cornerstone for building an open and accountable
workplace culture.

In this regard, MSC is making available worldwide a new online tool called “MSC Speak-Up Line” to report
simply, anonymously and securely any misconduct especially violations of applicable laws, internal policies and
procedures including the MSC Code of Business Conduct, Anti-fraud Policy, Anti-bribery policy etc.

The reporting tool, which complements existing reporting procedures, will be accessible from the following website
(https://mscspeakupline.com/index.php). For Data protection reasons, please copy and paste this link to your web
browser to have access to the MSC Speak-Up Line.

Developed by an independent third party called EQS Integrity Lines, the platform is easy to use and secure. It
guarantees employee anonymity, in line with legal requirements, unless the reporters decide to disclose their
identity, or if this is not permitted by applicable laws.

Compliance is a key element of MSC’s commitment to undertaking business in a fair, ethical and responsible
manner.

The tool is designed for reporting serious misconducts and violations of laws. It is not intended to address day-to-
day management of the workplace.

Every report will be handled confidentially and investigated by authorized and entrusted personnel in Geneva.
There will be no retaliation measures against any employee making a report in good faith.

In case of questions please contact MSC Geneva Corporate Legal Compliance Team (ethic@msc.com).

Thank you and best regards.

LAUNCH OF MSC SPEAK-UP LINE
Geneva, October 17, 2018

Dear all,

Consistent with MSC’s Values, the ability to speak-up is a cornerstone for building an open and accountable
workplace culture.

In this regard, MSC is making available worldwide a new online tool called “MSC Speak-Up Line” to report
simply, anonymously and securely any misconduct especially violations of applicable laws, internal policies and
procedures including the MSC Code of Business Conduct, Anti-fraud Policy, Anti-bribery policy etc.

The reporting tool, which complements existing reporting procedures, will be accessible from the following website
(https://mscspeakupline.com/index.php). For Data protection reasons, please copy and paste this link to your web
browser to have access to the MSC Speak-Up Line.

Developed by an independent third party called EQS Integrity Lines, the platform is easy to use and secure. It
guarantees employee anonymity, in line with legal requirements, unless the reporters decide to disclose their
identity, or if this is not permitted by applicable laws.

Compliance is a key element of MSC’s commitment to undertaking business in a fair, ethical and responsible
manner.

The tool is designed for reporting serious misconducts and violations of laws. It is not intended to address day-to-
day management of the workplace.

Every report will be handled confidentially and investigated by authorized and entrusted personnel in Geneva.
There will be no retaliation measures against any employee making a report in good faith.

In case of questions please contact MSC Geneva Corporate Legal Compliance Team (ethic@msc.com).

Thank you and best regards,

Diego Aponte

I acknowledge understanding
