·The Board of Directors of AgileBits Inc. doing business as 1Password (together with its subsidiaries, the Company, 1Password, we, us, or our) has adopted this Code of Conduct (the "Code") in order to guide all of our decision making and business activities to:
·This Code applies to all employees, contractors, consultants, officers and directors of 1Password (which we will refer to as 'Bits for the purpose of this Code), in the work that is done on behalf of the Company, and also any time when acting as 1Password's representative. We also expect the contractors, consultants, partners, vendors and suppliers with whom we do business to demonstrate values and standards similar to those in this Code, and we strive to ensure that they are made aware of our policies that are applicable to the work they do with or for us. While this Code cannot explicitly list every situation that may arise, the principles outlined in the Code should be seen as providing a baseline for honest and ethical decision-making and behaviour.
·We expect that you will act with integrity in your dealings with all 'Bits, securityholders, customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, and anyone else with whom you have contact while performing your job. This Code is not intended to reduce or limit the other obligations you may have to the Company, it should be viewed as the minimum standard that we expect from you.
·'Bits must also comply with the Global Employee Handbook, applicable policies, process and procedures (all referred to as policies), all as updated from time to time. Our policies serve to further elaborate and expand on the minimum standards in the Code. Compliance with the Code, Global Employee Handbook, and all policies are a condition of work and employment with 1Password.
·If you have any questions about this Code, its application to you or others in any situation, or if you know or suspect of any violation, please:
·At 1Password, we promote high standards of integrity by conducting our business and duties, honestly, ethically, and in keeping to our values:
·It's crucial that we follow all applicable laws, rules, and regulations wherever we operate, both in letter and spirit.
·While we don't expect every 'Bit to know all the details, it's important to be aware enough to recognize when you need to ask for advice from the right people, or if you suspect, or become aware of, any violations of any law, rule or regulation, whether by another 'Bit or any third party doing business with us or on our behalf. Please contact a member of the Legal Team at #ask-legal on Slack or legal@agilebits.com and/or report the potential violation through our Ethics and Compliance Hotline.
·Any violation by you of applicable laws may subject you to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of your employment or termination of your business relationship with the Company. Violations may also be referred to legal authorities for investigation and civil or criminal prosecution.
·If you find yourself involved in any legal matter-be it criminal, civil, regulatory, or anything else-that might impact your ability to do your job or affect 1Password's reputation, please inform your manager or your Human Resources Business Partner right away. It's important we stay on top of these situations to protect both you and our Company.
·At 1Password, we believe in open and fair competition. We stand out by showcasing and highlighting our strengths, not by disparaging our competitors.
·There are laws against deceptive or unfair advertising, which require that product and service comparisons should be fair and accurate, not misleading, deceptive or unfairly exaggerated or disparaging.
·These laws, known as antitrust, trade practice or competition laws, ensure a competitive marketplace and prohibit activities like price-fixing, market allocation, price discrimination, monopolization, and sharing competitively sensitive non-public information with competitors. Competitive information must be gathered with care and only through lawful means.
·We're dedicated to upholding high standards of integrity at 1Password. We are subject to and must follow anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, which means we never pay bribes or try to gain an advantage by improperly influencing government officials, customers, business partners, or anyone else.

Let's ensure we're always in compliance with these important rules.
·A conflict of interest occurs when a 'Bit's personal interest (including family, friendship or financial) or activity is inconsistent with or opposed to 1Password's best interest, or gives the appearance of impropriety or divided loyalty. You have an obligation to avoid situations that create real or perceived conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest can arise when a 'Bit (for themself or for someone with whom they have a close personal relationship):
·Let's look at some common examples of conflicts of interest: Gifts
·It's important that we don't give or accept anything that could, or even seem to, improperly influence us, our partners or clients. Small, unsolicited gifts that are reasonable and customary and don't create any obligations for the receiver are usually fine, as long as they comply with local laws and our Anti-Corruption Policy.
·1Password recognizes and respects that you may want to take part in financial, business or other activities outside your job. However, as a 'Bit, these activities must be free of any actual or potential conflict with your duties to 1Password.

·Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, any director or executive officer or their family members are prohibited.

Let's keep our dealings transparent and ethical and live our value of "leading with honesty".

·When you're posting or responding on social media or other public forums in your personal capacity, remember that while we're all ambassadors for our Company, not everyone is an authorized spokesperson. Please don't rate or review our products or services on platforms like app stores or review sites, as this may have legal consequences for us.

·If your answer to any of these questions is "yes" or "maybe", please seek further guidance before proceeding any further, and please report it if the situation involves others.
·If you know of or suspect any conduct that may violate applicable law or this Code, you must report such information immediately:
·It's important to know that nothing in this Code should discourage you from reporting any illegal activity, including violations of securities laws, antitrust laws, or any other laws and regulations, to the appropriate authorities. This Code also doesn't prevent you from testifying, participating, or assisting in any state or federal administrative, judicial, or legislative proceeding or investigation.
·Regardless of any confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements you may have with us (including in employment agreements, separation agreements, or other employment or compensation agreements), we do not restrict current or former employees from communicating, cooperating, or filing complaints with any government or law enforcement bodies regarding possible legal or regulatory violations that are protected under applicable whistleblower provisions. Any agreement in conflict with the above is deemed amended by us to be consistent with the applicable laws and regulations.
·Any manager who directs or approves conduct that violates this Code, or who becomes aware of such conduct and doesn't report it promptly, will be subject to investigation and disciplinary action, up to, and including termination of employment.

If the report involves a member of the Legal Team, the Chief Executive Officer must be informed directly. Reports of Code violations by an executive officer must be reported to the Board of Directors.
·Upon receiving a report of a potential violation, the Board of Directors, relevant managers, Human Resources Business Partners, and/or the most senior member of the Legal department will initiate an investigation and take appropriate action, if required.
·We expect all 'Bits to cooperate fully in any investigation of alleged violations of this Code. Failure to do so, or deliberately providing false, misleading or incomplete information may result in disciplinary action, up to, and including termination of employment.
·1Password is committed to promptly investigating and taking action against violations of this Code. If, upon investigation, it is determined that a violation has occurred, the findings will be sent to the most senior member of the Legal department or to the Board, who will then take appropriate preventive or disciplinary actions in accordance with applicable law, such as reprimands, probation, suspension, demotion, salary reduction, termination, or restitution.
·In cases involving criminal conduct or serious legal violations, we may be obligated to report to governmental or regulatory authorities for further investigation or prosecution.
·Conduct that violates the Code is never permitted and therefore is always considered outside the scope of work of any 'Bit acting on behalf of the Company.
·The Board of Directors (in the case of a violation by a director or executive officer) or the most senior member of the Legal department (in the case of a violation by any other person) may, in its discretion, waive any violation of this Code. Any waiver of this Code for, or violation of this Code by, a director or an executive officer shall be disclosed if required by applicable law.
·1Password prohibits any form of retaliation against a 'Bit who makes a report in good faith of known or suspected misconduct or violations of this Code or our policies. Retaliation includes acts like demotion, discharge, discipline, discrimination, harassment, suspension, or threats. Employees who participate in good faith in the investigation of such complaints are also protected from retaliation.
·Retaliatory conduct itself constitutes a violation of this Code and will be promptly and thoroughly investigated. Disciplinary action, up to and including termination, will be taken as appropriate against those found engaging in retaliation. We expect all 'Bits to maintain an environment where reporting concerns is safe and encouraged, without fear of reprisal.
·Any allegations of retaliation should be reported for investigation immediately to your lead, your Human Resources Business Partner, to the most senior member of the Legal department, or via our Ethics and Compliance Hotline:
