50 BlackBerry Code of Business Standards and Principles Contents
Insider trading and tipping can result in civil or
criminal penalties, and/or disciplinary actions
including termination. If you have any doubt about a
potential securities transaction or the use of certain
non-public information, seek guidance from the
Chief Financial Ocer or Chief Legal Ocer or
their designates.
BlackBerry’s directors, ocers and employees are
insiders of the Company. Consultants, contractors
and even students may become insiders as well.
Applicable laws and BlackBerry policy prohibit
insiders from trading in BlackBerry securities
while possessing material information that has
not been made generally available to the public
– a practice referred to as “insider trading”.
Non-public information about the business
or aairs of BlackBerry is material if it would
reasonably be expected to have a significant
eect on the market price or value of BlackBerry
securities or if a reasonable investor would
consider it important in making a decision to
buy, sell or hold BlackBerry securities. Passing
along material non-public information to friends
or families – a practice known as “tipping”
is considered a form of insider trading and is
also prohibited by securities laws and
BlackBerry policy.
In addition, a BlackBerry insider may not buy or
sell securities of another public company while
in possession of material non-public information
regarding that company, if the information was
learned in the course of the insider’s work at, or
via their aliation with, BlackBerry.
Honor Blackout Periods
Some BlackBerry employees, because of their
position in the Company and the potential access
they have to material non-public information, may
be advised from time to time that they are also not
allowed to trade during specified “blackout periods.
If you are one of these employees, you must ensure
that you comply with applicable blackout and
pre-clearance requirements and take necessary
precautions to ensure that material non-public
information is not made available to others,
including fellow BlackBerry employees who do
not require access to the information.
