I. Reporting Violations

Employees should report to their supervisors and managers known and suspected violations of:

1. laws, governmental rules and regulations,

2. accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, or

3. any Company policies.

This includes complaints or reports received from persons outside the Company. Supervisors and managers shall promptly consider the information submitted to them and take appropriate action in accordance with the law, governmental rules and regulations and otherwise consistent with good business practice.

If an employee is not comfortable discussing the suspected violation with any of their direct supervisors or managers, the employee may report the suspected violation confidentially and anonymously by the following means:

1. By calling the Company’s compliance hotline: From within the United States, toll-free at 1- 844-231-3370 or International toll-free at 0808-234-0162;
2. By letter addressed to the Company’s corporate headquarters marked “Attention: General Counsel”; or
3. By clicking on Infoblox.ethicspoint.com and following the instructions.

Any employee reporting a suspected violation is encouraged to provide as much detail as
possible regarding the subject matter of the complaint or concern, since the ability to investigate will be largely dependent on the quality and specificity of the information. The General Counsel
(or his or her designees) will be responsible for reviewing, or overseeing the review, of any
report of a suspected violation from any source. We will promptly notify the sender and acknowledge receipt of the report.

II. Statement of Non-Retaliation

It is against Company policy and, in many jurisdictions, a crime for anyone to intentionally retaliate against any person who provides truthful information to a law enforcement official concerning such person’s reasonable and good faith belief that a possible violation of any federal, state or foreign law has occurred. Moreover, the Company will not permit any form of intimidation or retaliation by any employee, contractor, subcontractor or agent of the Company against any employee because of any lawful action by the employee to:

  • provide information, cause information to be provided, or otherwise assist in an investigation regarding any conduct which the employee reasonably believes constitutes a violation of laws, rules, regulations or any Company policies; or
  • file, cause to be filed, testify, participate in, or otherwise assist in a proceeding filed or about to be filed relating to a violation of any law, rule or regulation.

The prohibited forms of intimidation or retaliation include, but are not limited to, discharge, demotion, suspension, threats, harassment or any other manner of discrimination with respect to an employee’s terms or conditions of employment based on lawful actions of such employee with respect to a good faith report or cooperation or assistance with an investigation conducted by the Company.

III. Statement of Confidentiality

In cases in which an employee reports a suspected violation in good faith and is not engaged in the questionable conduct, the Company will attempt to keep its discussions and actions confidential to the greatest extent possible and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing employee privacy. All reports and records associated with complaints or reports made under this Policy are considered Company confidential information and access will be restricted to members of the Board of Directors, the Company’s internal and external legal counsel, and others involved in investigating a complaint or report under this Policy. Access to reports and records may be granted to other parties at the discretion of the General Counsel.

IV. Investigation and Record Keeping

Employees should not independently conduct their own investigation but instead should make their complaint or report to their supervisor or manager, or by following the procedures in this Policy. The General Counsel will coordinate the prompt investigation and resolution of all reports and ensure that corrective action, as necessary and appropriate, is taken. All records of the report of a suspected violation will be reviewed, investigated and evaluated by the General Counsel (or his or her designee) as he or she deems reasonably necessary.

V. Retention of Records

The General Counsel will maintain a log of all complaints and reports, tracking their receipt, investigation and resolution. The Company will preserve records of complaints and reports made under this Policy and associated log(s) for a period of time to be determined by the General Counsel. After the established retention period, the records and associated log(s) may be disposed of in accordance with Company policy.
