Exhibit 14.2
CODE OF STANDARDS, ETHICS AND CONDUCT
In addition to conducting its operations in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, GameStop also has a clear duty to observe high ethical
standards in conducting these operations, as well as in its interaction with the customers and communities it serves. In the same way, all GameStop directors,
officers and Associates (collectively referred to herein as Associates) are also expected to observe the same high ethical standards in the performance of their
jobs and in their relationships with customers, vendors, their community and their coworkers.
TREATMENT OF ASSOCIATES AND ASSOCIATE CONDUCT
All Associates must understand that throughout the course of their employment, they are representatives of GameStop at all times, whether at their principal
place of work or at off-site locations. GameStop will not tolerate any illegal conduct by any Associate, and no Associate engaging in illegal conduct will be
defended or indemnified by GameStop.
Any Associate engaging in any illegal conduct, conduct that violates GameStop's policies and practices or conduct that may harm GameStop's reputation will
be subject to corrective action up to and including termination of employment.
All GameStop Associates will treat every co-worker, customer and vendor with courtesy, dignity and respect. All Associates are entitled to work in an
environment free of harassment and discrimination from co-workers, outside parties or supervisors. Company policy prohibits harassment of or discrimination
against any Associate, customer or vendor on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation.
Any Associate who engages in any form of harassment or discrimination, or who retaliates against another Associate for reporting harassment or
discrimination, will be subject to corrective action up to and including termination of employment.
Because of the risk of sexual harassment, in addition to ensuring the impartiality of all supervisors and preventing allegations of favoritism or conflict of
interest, no Associates in management or supervisory positions are permitted to date, engage in any romantic or sexual liaison or enter into a financially
interdependent relationship with any Associate they directly or indirectly supervise.
GameStop is committed to compliance with all wage and hour laws, including taking steps to ensure that Associates are paid appropriately, classified
correctly, and treated fairly. Associates must record and be paid for all of their work time and take all required meal breaks within the appropriate time
required by law and Company policy. All Associates should understand that GameStop prohibits any "off the clock" work and strictly forbids conduct that
may encourage or condone the inaccurate recording of work time.
It is GameStop's policy to provide equal employment opportunity for all, in compliance with all federal and state laws.
ASSET PROTECTION
All Associates are expected to share in the role of protecting GameStop's assets. Assets can include products, information, plans for the business, data
integrity, fixtures, equipment, money, property or services that the Company purchases for its own use, such as UPS delivery or long distance telephone
services.
