SUBSEQUENT TO THE REVIEW, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO THE AUDIT/FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW. AFTER REVIEW BY THE AUDIT/FINANCE COMMITTEE CORRECTIONS WERE MADE TO THE FORM AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AT THE APRIL 29, 2026 BOARD MEETING THE FORM WAS REVIEWED AND VOTED TO APPROVE THE FORM 990 FOR SUBMISSION. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C EACH DIRECTOR, PRINCIPAL OFFICER, AND MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE WITH BOARD DELEGATED POWERS IS ANNUALLY REQUIRED TO SIGN A STATEMENT WHICH AFFIRMS THAT SUCH PERSON: A) HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY; B) HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE POLICY; C) HAS AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY; AND D) UNDERSTANDS THAT THE ORGANIZATION IS CHARITABLE AND, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION, IT MUST ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN ACTIVITIES WHICH ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. IF AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARISES, AN INTERESTED PERSON IS REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS AND AFTER ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON, HE OR SHE LEAVES THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEETING WHILE THE DETERMINATION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCUSSED AND VOTED ON. THE REMAINING BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINTS A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION CAN, WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS, OBTAIN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT FROM A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS NOT REASONABLY POSSIBLE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES NOT PRODUCING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTEREST, FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT, AND WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE. IN CONFORMITY WITH THE ABOVE DETERMINATION, IT MAKES ITS DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. IF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE A MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, IT INFORMS THE MEMBER OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORDS THE MEMBER AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. IF, AFTER HEARING THE MEMBER'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT TAKES APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION. EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO FILE A DISCLOSURE FORM WITH THE PRESIDENT OF REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL OR HIS DELEGATE AT THE TIME OF EMPLOYMENT. EACH EMPLOYEE IS REQUIRED TO UPDATE SUCH DISCLOSURE FORM AS SOON AS HE OR SHE BECOMES AWARE OF ANY ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICTS. THE PRESIDENT OR HIS DELEGATE PROMPTLY REVIEWS THE DISCLOSURES AND DETERMINES WHICH INTERESTS ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THE MISSION AND INTERESTS OF REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL AND WHICH, IF ANY, CAN BE RESOLVED. IN GRANTING AUTHORITY FOR EMPLOYEES TO ENGAGE IN OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL MAY, AT ITS DISCRETION, GRANT AUTHORITY FOR PUBLIC OR MEDIA CONTACTS RELATED TO THAT ACTIVITY PROVIDED SUCH PUBLIC OR MEDIA CONTACTS DO NOT COMPROMISE THE PUBLIC IMAGE OF INDEPENDENCE, HONESTY, PROPRIETY, OBJECTIVITY AND IMPARTIALITY OF REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL. FAILURE TO MAKE REQUIRED DISCLOSURES OR TO SATISFACTORILY RESOLVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MAY RESULT IN DISCIPLINE, UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. DECISIONS ON DISCIPLINE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE PREROGATIVE OF THE PRESIDENT. IN THE CASE OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, THE PRESIDENT CONSULTS WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD PRIOR TO MAKING THE DECISION. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REQUIREMENT TO CONSULT, THE BOARD'S APPROVAL IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE PRESIDENT TO TERMINATE AN EMPLOYEE AND THE FAILURE BY THE PRESIDENT TO CONSULT WITH THE BOARD DOES NOT PROVIDE GROUNDS FOR AN EMPLOYEE TO CHALLENGE THE TERMINATION. REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL MAY DISCIPLINE AN EMPLOYEE IMMEDIATELY WHEN REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL HAS KNOWLEDGE THAT THE EMPLOYEE HAS ENGAGED IN ACTIVITY PROHIBITED BY THIS POLICY. REFUGEES INTERNATIONAL MAY PERMIT REMEDIATION OF A BREACH OF THIS POLICY IF IT DETERMINES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, THAT REMEDIATION IS WARRANTED UNDER ALL THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES.
