All reports alleging violations of the law or the Code will be treated confidentially to the extent possible under the circumstances. A
prompt, thorough and independent investigation will be conducted of reported concerns. Employees are required to cooperate in any
investigation of a compliance or ethics concern. Reported concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing
matters will be reported to the Audit Committee of Exelon’s Board of Directors.
If an investigation discloses the need for corrective action, Exelon will implement appropriate corrective action to prevent recurrence.
The Ethics and Compliance Office
Because compliance and high standards of ethical behavior are important to the Company, employees must have access to additional
guidance from a knowledgeable person when circumstances require. Exelon is committed to providing employees with the resources
necessary to help them understand the Code, resolve compliance and ethics questions and report any compliance or ethics concerns.
In this regard, Exelon employees have several options.
Managers and supervisors are an initial source of guidance for employees and an appropriate channel for questions or reporting
compliance or ethics concerns. Each employee is encouraged to contact his or her manager or supervisor to discuss issues of
interpretation or to report concerns with respect to compliance with the law or the Code.
The Ethics and Compliance Office is another avenue for seeking guidance on Code interpretation or reporting concerns. The office
reports to the Corporate Secretary and its staff includes an Associate General Counsel accountable for administering the ethics and
compliance program. The Ethics and Compliance staff may be reached by phone, e-mail, regular mail, or in person. Contacts may be
made anonymously. All contacts will be treated confidentially to the fullest extent possible. Reports to the Ethics and Compliance
Office will be handled promptly, thoroughly, fairly, and discreetly.
Other avenues for guidance and reporting concerns in their respective areas are: Human Resources, Legal, Corporate Security,
Internal Audit and Environment, Health and Safety.
Exelon employees may also contact the Exelon Help Line at 1-800-23-ETHIC, which is further described below.
