Code of Conduct

Facing ethical and compliance issues with integrity.
 
 
 

 
 
Statement of Integrity

Pioneering new ideas while also acting with the highest standards of integrity are key principles that have gotten us to where we are today.  In fact, we believe that integrity and honesty are the foundation of a productive working environment and a strong company.  As Comcast and NBCUniversal joined together, we have created a new company -- but our commitment to integrity is something we never want to change.
 
While our combined know-how will make us leaders in transforming the communications, media and entertainment industries, it’s our actions -- how we perform day in and day out -- that will ensure our success.  It’s as simple as doing the right thing and treating people the right way.  
 
As we innovate together, our brands continue to stand for integrity, trust and respect. Our Code of Conduct is the common framework for operating with integrity, the principles that we must apply every day in all we do.  I am personally asking you to commit to following the Code of Conduct as a guide for your interactions with our customers, our viewers, our fellow employees, our business partners, and anyone else with whom you come in contact. 
 
Since no code or policy can spell out the appropriate behavior for every situation, you should talk with your supervisor -- or refer to any of the resources listed throughout the Code -- when you have questions or concerns.  Each of us is responsible for knowing when to speak up, asking tough questions and reporting any possible violation of the Code of Conduct.  Remember, our policy prohibits retaliation of any kind for reporting in good faith a suspected violation of the Code. 

We each hold our company’s reputation in our hands.  We want the world to recognize us as a company that not only delivers for our shareholders, customers and viewers, but one that does so with an unwavering commitment to integrity.  With your help, we will do just that.  


Brian L. Roberts
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Ethical Decision-Making

WHAT TO DO:

In today’s rapidly changing workplace, you may encounter unfamiliar situations that present ethical dilemmas.  In these circumstances, the right thing to do is not always clear.  For this reason, you should become familiar with the contents of the Code.  The Code contains a broad overview of key policy areas and examples within each area.  It is not all-inclusive.  Situations will arise that are not covered here.  For those situations, ask yourself these questions:
·  
Does it potentially violate any applicable law, regulation, policy or contract?
·  
Does it feel right?
·  
Should I check with my supervisor?
·  
How would it look if it was covered in the news?
·  
Would I feel comfortable explaining it to my family?
·  
Could it appear improper?

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR:

Sometimes, it is difficult even to recognize an ethical problem.  When in doubt, ask your supervisor, a Human Resources representative or a Company lawyer.  Don’t disregard a potential issue because you think:
·  
It’s none of my business.
·  
The Company wants me to do this.
·  
Everyone does it.
·  
No one will ever know.

If you find yourself thinking these thoughts, ask yourself the questions listed above to help guide your actions, or contact any of the resources listed under Recourses for Employees.

Applicability

The Code applies to all employees, officers and directors of Comcast and its subsidiaries, all of whom are (i) required to periodically certify that they have received and are in compliance with the Code, and (ii) understand and agree that neither the Code nor any of its provisions constitutes an express or implied contract of employment or guarantee of employment for any specific period of time.  Use of the term "Company" refers to all of these entities and their respective business units.

Interpretation, Approvals and Waivers
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 6

 
 
For help interpreting and applying the Code or any applicable law, regulation, policy or contract to a given situation, you may contact any of the resources within your business unit listed under Resources for Employees of the Code, including your supervisor.  Supervisors, however, are generally not permitted to grant approvals or waivers under the Code (unless otherwise specified in a particular Code policy).  We believe that consistent application of the Code is essential.  To promote this objective, approvals and waivers under the Code may only be granted by the appropriate authorized employees, as specified in the Code.  In some sections of the Code, approvals must be obtained by “Authorized Approvers.”   Authorized Approvers are Senior HR Professionals (defined as (i) the lead Human Resources professional in your business unit or (ii) senior vice president or higher-level Human Resources professionals in your business unit) and Senior Attorneys (defined as (i) vice president or higher-level attorneys in the law department of your business unit, (ii) the General Counsel of Comcast Corporation or (iii) the Executive Vice President with supervisory responsibility for the General Counsel of Comcast Corporation).  Click here for a current list of Authorized Approvers and their contact information.  This information can also be found in the Comcast Integrity Section of TeamComcast at www.teamcomcast.com/integrity.

If a supervisor is asked by an employee to grant an approval or waiver under the Code, the supervisor must escalate the matter to an Authorized Approver.  Any waiver of the Code for any Comcast Corporation executive officer or director may only be granted by the Comcast Board of Directors and will be disclosed to the public as required by law.

WHICH LAW APPLIES
 
The Company conducts business in many countries around the world.  Our employees are citizens of many different countries.  As a result, our operations are subject to the laws of many countries, provinces, states and municipalities, and quasi-governmental organizations such as the European Union.  An important challenge for all of us is to understand how these laws may apply to our operations.

In addition, Comcast Corporation, our parent company, is a corporation organized in the United States.  The laws of the United States frequently extend to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries throughout the world, as well as to the business activities of employees wherever they live and work.  Other countries may also apply their own laws outside of their borders to their own citizens and to corporations that are organized under their laws, such as company subsidiaries.

The references in Company policies to the laws of the United States and the other countries where we do business reflect the reality that a global company is regulated by many different laws at the same time.  In some instances, there may be a conflict between the applicable laws of
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 7

 
 
two or more countries.  When you encounter such a conflict, it is especially important to consult the law department of your business unit to understand how to resolve that conflict properly.

For employees working outside of the United States, references to U.S. currency in the Code means the applicable foreign currency equivalent, and references to GAAP means the applicable foreign equivalent to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Penalties for Violation

Employees, officers and directors who violate the Code or applicable laws, regulations, policies or contracts are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or service. Misconduct that may result in discipline includes:
·  
Directly or indirectly violating the Code or Company policy.
·  
Directing or assisting others to violate the Code or Company policy.
·  
Failure to promptly raise a known or suspected violation of the Code or Company policy.
·  
Failure to cooperate in Company investigations of alleged Code or policy violations.
·  
Retaliation against another employee for reporting a potential concern about illegal or unethical conduct or assisting in an investigation.
·  
Failure to supervise, to the extent the circumstances of a violation reflect a supervisor’s disregard for the Code.

Business Unit Policies and Procedures

Your business unit may issue its own policies and procedures relating to appropriate business conduct consistent with the Code.  You must follow those policies and procedures in addition to those described in the Code.

What Supervisors Must Do

In addition to their responsibilities as employees, supervisors must also:

SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE
·  
Assure that your own ethical behavior is a model for all employees – every day.
·  
Demonstrate that business needs and results are never more important than our ethical standards and commitment to integrity.
·  
Give your employees the support they need to satisfy their compliance obligations, including by providing the necessary time to complete trainings.

CREATE AN OPEN REPORTING ENVIRONMENT
·  
Foster an environment where employees feel safe and comfortable asking questions and reporting concerns.
·  
Make yourself available to listen to employee concerns.  Ensure you have enough time to adequately discuss their concerns.  If not, schedule an alternate time and communicate to the employee that your desire to do so is to ensure that they have your full attention.
·  
Be an active listener and ask for clarification and additional information in such a way that employees don’t feel intimidated or defensive.
·  
Thank employees for bringing issues to your attention.
·  
If an employee doesn’t come to you first, support his/her choice and consider why he/she didn’t approach you.
·  
Ensure that there is absolutely no tolerance for retaliation.
o  
Bear in mind that many employees may be sensitive to perceived slights or perceived retaliation following submission of a report of misconduct.  It is imperative that you continue to treat employees with dignity and respect, including the following:
§  
Evaluate them based on actual performance.
§  
Provide meaningful assignments.
§  
Share information needed to get work done.

KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO CONCERNS
·  
For workplace issues, such as day-to-day problems with a co-worker or questions about Company benefits, take immediate action to resolve the issue or contact your supervisor or a Human Resources representative for assistance so that you may provide a timely response to the employee.
·  
For allegations of suspected illegal or unethical conduct concerning accounting, internal controls or auditing matters, immediately report them to any Authorized Approver, any director or higher-level member of Comcast Corporation’s Internal Audit Department or the Chair of the Audit Committee (by sending an email to Audit_Committee_Chair@comcast.com).

What Happens When Concerns Are Raised

CONCERNS ABOUT ILLEGAL OR UNETHICAL CONDUCT WILL BE INVESTIGATED

·  
An objective team with the necessary knowledge and experience will be assigned to conduct the investigation.
·  
The team will determine the facts through interviews, review of documents and/or other appropriate means.
·  
If wrongdoing is confirmed, appropriate discipline and corrective action will be taken regardless of the position of individuals involved.
·  
The employee raising the concern will receive feedback on the outcome to the extent the Company can appropriately provide it (unless the concern was raised anonymously without providing any avenue of contact).

CONFIDENTIALITY IS RESPECTED

The identity of the employee (if provided) and the information provided will be shared only on a "need-to-know" basis with those responsible for addressing and resolving the concern.

RETALIATION VIOLATES COMPANY POLICY

Our policy prohibits any employee, officer or director reporting in good faith an actual or suspected violation of the Code or applicable laws, regulations, policies or contracts (even if the concern is eventually unsubstantiated) from being retaliated against by or receiving discriminatory treatment from the Company on account of such report.  No employee, officer or director can be discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, intimidated or coerced as a result of his or her making, or assisting in the handling or investigation of, a good faith complaint.  Note, however, that an allegation of retaliation does not exempt an employee from normal standards of performance and conduct.

If you feel that you have been retaliated against, speak up.  Retaliation for raising a good faith integrity concern is prohibited by the Code and could lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.  For more information on this subject, you should refer to your business unit’s employee handbook section titled "Anti-Retaliation Policy."

Privacy
 
INTRODUCTION
 
Protecting and respecting the privacy rights of our employees and parties with whom we do business, such as customers, suppliers and contractors, is critical to our success.  Each employee must be aware of and follow all applicable policies regarding the responsible use of customer, employee and others’ personal information.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
In the United States, a number of laws regulate customer and employee "personal data" (e.g., name, home and office contact information, medical and other data), and a growing number of countries are more stringently regulating the collection and use of personal data.
 
·  
In addition, many countries regulate personal data of employees and other personnel in business-to-business transactions.  A few countries even regulate the privacy of information relating to corporations.
 
·  
We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and in compliance with applicable privacy laws worldwide.
 
·  
Every employee is responsible for safeguarding personal data within the Company’s control, and should be familiar with all applicable policies and security guidelines of the employee’s business unit regarding the protection of this information.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Ask about and comply with all of the following as they apply to personal data, including: (i) applicable laws and regulations of locations from which the personal data is collected and in which it is processed or used; (ii) the internal and customer-facing privacy policies of the Company; and (iii) any applicable contractual obligations.
 
·  
Be aware of personal data that is subject to specific laws, such as customer financial information, cable subscriber personally identifiable information and customer proprietary network information ("CPNI"), and consult with the law department of your business unit for any questions.
 
·  
Collect, process and use personal data for legitimate business purposes only.
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 20

 
 
·  
Use "anonymous" data (names and other personal information removed and not identifiable) or "aggregated" data (summarized so as not to be identifiable to an individual) instead of personal data where appropriate or required.
 
·  
Limit access to personal data to individuals who need it for a legitimate business purpose, and, if third parties are involved, have a written agreement in place reviewed by a Company lawyer.
 
·  
Use care to prevent unauthorized access in processing of personal data or accidental loss or destruction of personal data.
 
·  
If you learn that personal data has been used in violation of this policy, or if you learn that the security of any system or device containing personal data has been compromised, immediately notify your supervisor or a Company lawyer.

Intellectual Property
 
INTRODUCTION
 
Intellectual property is among our most valuable assets.  Protecting, maintaining and defending our rights, and respecting the intellectual property rights of others, is critical to the success of our Company.  Each employee must be aware of and follow our policies regarding the responsible use of intellectual property and content protection.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
"Intellectual property" primarily refers to copyrights, trademarks, tradenames, patents and trade secrets.  Comcast’s intellectual property is embodied in a variety of things: software; hardware and network-based technology; inventions and innovations; entertainment content; confidential business processes; customer lists; and other confidential business ideas and information. For NBCUniversal, in particular, the protection of intellectual property – such as motion pictures, television shows, website content, digital and mobile applications, logos and brands – is critical to the success and vitality of the business.
 
·  
Every employee is responsible for safeguarding our intellectual property, and should be familiar with all applicable policies and security guidelines of the employee’s business unit regarding the protection of intellectual property.
 
·  
We must respect the valid intellectual property rights of others.  The unauthorized use of others’ intellectual property can expose the Company, and individual employees, to lawsuits and even criminal penalties.
 
·  
If you have a question about procedures regarding the protection or use of intellectual property or about any of the topics addressed in this policy, contact the law department of your business unit.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Follow your business unit’s applicable policies and guidelines regarding the handling and security of intellectual property.  Be alert to business practices that may result in the unauthorized distribution or other unauthorized use of Company intellectual property, and bring any of these issues to the attention of the law department of your business unit.  For example, do not copy, lend or distribute proprietary content of the Company or third parties - such as DVD "screeners" of film or television content or any other unreleased or unaired content - unless you are specifically authorized to do so.

Hiring or engaging an outside company or person to develop intellectual property without having put a written agreement in place.  Such an agreement must be reviewed by the law department of your business unit and must cover rights in the developed intellectual property as well as in other results of the work.
 
·  
Unauthorized copying or use of copyrighted works of others (including unauthorized downloading or distribution of newspaper and magazine articles, website articles, computer software, music, movies, pictures and graphics).
 
·

Conflicts of Interest
 
INTRODUCTION
 
On the job or in your free time, nothing you do should conflict with your responsibilities or duty of loyalty to the Company.  Even when nothing wrong is intended, the appearance of a conflict can have negative effects.  It is crucial to consider how your actions may appear, and to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest.  This policy requires employees to disclose and receive approval, as needed, for all outside work, financial interests and other personal activities or relationships that may create, or appear to create, a conflict of interest.  Conflicts of interest may also involve the offer or acceptance of gifts or business entertainment.  Because of the importance of this area, we have a created a separate Gifts and Business Entertainment policy.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
A conflict of interest may exist when you are involved in activities that might interfere, or appear to interfere, with the performance of your duties and responsibilities, or that could reflect negatively on the reputation of the Company.
 
·  
Owning a financial interest in an outside business that has a current or potential business relationship with the Company, such as a supplier, contractor, customer, competitor or company in which the Company has an investment may be a conflict of interest if you have the ability to influence the success of that business or affect the Company’s relationship with that outside business.  The term "outside business" means a company or other for-profit business organization, including a family-owned business.
 
·  
A potential conflict of interest could arise if you have the ability to influence Company decisions relating to employment or business transactions that affect a family member.  The term "family member" includes a spouse, domestic partner, parent, step-parent, grandparent, sibling, step-sibling, sibling of a spouse or domestic partner, child, step-child, grandchild, guardian, ward, niece, nephew, cousin, uncle, aunt, roommate and any other person with whom the employee, officer or director lives.
 
·  
The Company encourages you to participate in civic and charitable activities.  Participation in a civic or charitable organization on your own time requires prior approval by an Authorized Approver only if such participation might present a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest, or harm the Company’s reputation.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
General Principles
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 28

 
 
·  
Avoid personal activities or relationships that may cause actual or potential conflicts or create the appearance of a conflict with your job or the Company’s interests.  For example, do not: (i) direct business to, or make decisions regarding, an outside business owned or managed by you or a family member; or (ii) make any employment decisions regarding a family member (including hiring, promoting or directly supervising).
 
·  
Devote your best efforts to the Company’s interests while at work.
 
·  
Notify your supervisor or contact another resource (e.g., Comcast Listens, NBCUniversal Integrity Helpline or a Company lawyer) if you know of a possible conflict of interest involving another employee or anyone else representing the Company.
 
Outside Activities and Financial Interests
 
·  
Do not use Company information, resources, influence, time, intellectual property or facilities for personal benefit or to promote an outside business or activity of yours or a family member.  This includes the use of Company office equipment, e-mail and computer applications (e.g., to print or distribute flyers to promote a family member’s business or invitations to a personal social event).
 
·  
Do not take for yourself personally opportunities in which the Company may have an interest.  Do not pursue opportunities for your own benefit that you learned of through your Company position or access to Company information.
 
·  
Get approvals from your supervisor and an Authorized Approver before:
 
o  
Accepting employment, consulting, officer or director positions with an outside business while you are a Company employee.
 
o  
Participating in outside writing, blogging, lecturing or other activities that draw on proprietary or confidential information of the Company gained as part of your employment with the Company.  For example, seek approval of any activities that may inadvertently disclose proprietary or confidential information about technology trials, product development, script information or show outcomes.
 
o
Participating in civic or charitable activities while on Company time or using Company resources or assets.
 
·  
Get approval from an Authorized Approver before:
 
o  
Soliciting charitable contributions from current or potential suppliers, contractors, customers or other outside businesses using the Company’s name or your position at the Company.

Page 29

 
 
o  
Owning (either directly or indirectly through a family member or other person or entity) stock or any other financial interest in any outside business that has a current or potential business relationship with the Company.  You do not need approval to own such an interest if: (i) the company is a public company and you purchase stock in the open market (i.e., through a stockbroker and not directly from the company); (ii) you own less than one percent of a class of the company’s stock; and (iii) you do not perform any business function, provide any advice, or have any ability to influence the policies or activities of the company.
 
o  
Soliciting or accepting any offer (even unsolicited) to acquire securities (including by having securities reserved for you in an IPO) of any outside business if either the outside business or the person (or third party) making the opportunity available to you on behalf of the outside business has current or potential business relationships with the Company.  This restriction applies even if you are paying market price for the securities.
 
·  
Get approval from your business unit’s General Counsel before running for election or accepting appointment to a national, state or local public office.  The term "public office" is interpreted broadly, and includes, but is not limited to, school boards, local government councils and all governmental offices and positions.
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
·  
Personal discounts or other benefits from Company suppliers, contractors, customers or other third parties that may not be available to the public or your peers at the Company.
 
·  
Personal relationships that may conflict with your job responsibilities or compromise Company interests.

Gifts and Business Entertainment
 
INTRODUCTION
 
We believe business decisions should be based on competitive factors.  The offer or acceptance of gifts or business entertainment (as defined below) can create the appearance that business decisions are being influenced by other factors.  This policy requires employees to obtain approval in certain circumstances when offering or accepting gifts or business entertainment.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
A "gift" is anything of tangible or intangible value, including cash, gift certificates or gift cards, transportation, lodging, discounts, promotional items, contributions to a charity or other non-profit organization, and the recipient’s use of the donor’s time, equipment or facilities. A "gift" also includes the following if not attended by the donor: meals, entertainment, participation in recreational activities or events, and tickets, passes or other access to cultural or sporting events.
 
·  
"Business entertainment" includes the following if attended by the donor and during which business matters are discussed: meals, entertainment, participation in recreational activities or events, and tickets, passes or other access to cultural or sporting events.
 
·  
The term "Authorized Gift and Business Entertainment Approver" means: (i) the President (or other business unit head) of your business unit (for example, a Division President in Comcast’s Cable Division, or a President of a Universal Pictures division); (ii) the Chief Financial Officer of your business unit; (iii) a Senior Attorney; or (iv) a Senior HR Professional.  Click here for a current list of Authorized Gift and Business Entertainment Approvers.  This information can also be found in the Integrity Section of TeamComcast.
 
·  
Business decisions made by Company employees should be made solely on the basis of quality, service, price and other competitive factors.
 
·  
Employees in a position to deal with persons or outside businesses that have a current or potential business relationship with the Company must be particularly sensitive to the potential conflict of interest that may arise in the offer or acceptance of gifts or business entertainment.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·

·  
Obtain the prior approval of a Senior Attorney before providing any gift or business entertainment to any public official or government employee, regardless of the amount.  The Company is subject to regulations that forbid or limit the offer of gifts or business entertainment to certain national, state or local public officials or government employees.  Seek guidance from the law department of your business unit if you have any questions.

Insider Trading and Stock Tipping
 
INTRODUCTION
 
In the course of your service with Comcast, you may learn of material information about Comcast, our subsidiaries or other companies before it is made public.  What is "material" information?  It is information that an investor may consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold securities.  You may learn about material information by simply overhearing a hallway conversation or coming across a memo left at a copy machine.  You may not buy or sell securities of Comcast, any of our subsidiaries or any other company while aware of material information before that information is made public (doing so is known as "insider trading") or convey material information to others who might trade on the basis of that information before it is made public (doing so is known as "tipping").
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
Material information includes earnings announcements, earnings forecasts and significant financial developments (including dividend or share repurchase actions; possible acquisitions, divestitures or investments; loss of or entry into a significant contract; important product, technology or strategy developments; changes in key personnel; major litigation developments and governmental investigations; and status of material labor negotiations).
 
·  
These prohibitions against insider trading and tipping apply not only to Comcast’s securities, but also to the securities of any of the Company’s subsidiaries that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or are listed on any securities exchange (such as the NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange).  In addition, these prohibitions against insider trading and tipping apply to the securities of any company about which you have material non-public information.
 
·  
"Securities" are defined broadly to include more than stock.  Put and call options, debt securities (such as bonds and notes) and any other similar equity or debt or instruments are deemed securities.  Also, certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions and other complex transactions can present unique insider trading risks.
 
·  
Consequences of insider trading and tipping can be severe.  Insider trading and tipping is against the law and can subject you to potential penalties that include imprisonment, disgorgement of profits, substantial fines and monetary damages.  Similar penalties may be imposed on people who knew, or recklessly disregarded, that an employee was engaging in insider trading and failed to take appropriate steps to prevent it.  The Company also could suffer serious business and reputational damage from improper disclosure of information or an insider trading investigation.
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 38

 
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Do not buy or sell, either directly or indirectly through family members or other persons or entities, the securities of Comcast, any of our subsidiaries or any other company while you are in possession of material non-public information.  You should assume that any non-public information about a company that would influence your own decision about whether to buy or sell that company’s securities is material non-public information, and you should not, until after the information has become public: (i) buy or sell the security; or (ii) recommend that anyone else buy or sell the security.  If you are unsure whether information could be deemed "material," contact the law department in your business unit.
 
·  
Do not disclose to any person any material information about Comcast, our subsidiaries or any other company that you learn in connection with your service with the Company until that information is generally available to the public.
 
·  
Treat decisions relating to investments in Comcast stock through your 401(k) plan or the employee stock purchase plan the same way you would treat decisions involving a direct purchase or sale of securities.  Accordingly, you should not switch into or out of Comcast stock in your 401(k) plan or change your payroll deduction in the employee stock purchase plan if you are aware of material non-public information about Comcast.
 
·  
Maintain the confidentiality of proprietary or other important or sensitive information about the Company and do not convey information to anyone outside of Comcast unless necessary for your business activities.  You also should maintain the confidentiality of information that you learn in the course of your service about suppliers, contractors, customers, companies in which the Company has an investment and other third parties.
 
·  
If the nature of your business activities and your position in the business subject you to additional requirements relating to buying and selling securities (such as the preclearance of personal trades or being subject to a blackout policy), learn and follow all of those requirements, and review the Comcast Trading Period and Pre-Clearance Policy.  In addition, CNBC employees and employees in the various news divisions of NBCUniversal are subject to additional policies and guidelines.
 
·  
Consider whether to adopt a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.  Trades made in compliance with Comcast’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy will not violate our insider trading prohibition.
 
·  
If questions arise, consult a Senior Attorney before trading in the relevant security or disclosing the types of information described above.
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 39

 
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
·  
Buying or selling a security because you learn information that you think will make the price go up or down once it is publicly announced.  Even after the information is released to the public, there must be adequate time for the market to become fully aware of the information before it is considered to be public information.
 
·  
Buying or selling a security before a significant Company announcement.
 
·  
Talking to people (both inside and outside the Company) who do not have a need to know information about what you have been working on, where you have been traveling on Company business, or who has visited the office.

Supplier Relationships
 
INTRODUCTION
 
Our relationships with suppliers are based on lawful, efficient and fair practices.  We expect our suppliers to obey the laws that require them to treat workers fairly, provide a safe and healthy work environment and protect environmental quality.  Following these guidelines helps ensure that our supplier relationships will not damage our reputation.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
We strive to do business only with suppliers who comply with applicable laws and standards governing labor, health and safety.
 
·  
We provide competitive opportunities, where practical, to all suppliers, whether they are large or small, local, national or international or internal or external.
 
·  
Employees must strictly follow Company policies restricting the acceptance of gifts and business entertainment from suppliers.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Conduct business only with suppliers that comply with national, local and other applicable legal requirements and Company guidelines relating to labor, the environment, health and safety.  Unacceptable supplier practices include:
 
o  
employing workers younger than the required minimum age or the age of 16, whichever is higher
 
o  
using forced, prison or indentured labor, or workers subject to any form of compulsion or coercion
 
o  
failure to observe applicable environmental laws and regulations
 
o  
failure to observe applicable laws and regulations governing wage and hour, days of service and overtime payment
 
o  
failure to provide workers with a workplace that meets applicable health and safety standards
 
o  
failure to maintain and enforce policies requiring adherence to lawful business practices, including a prohibition against bribery

Interacting with Governments and Political Activities
 
INTRODUCTION
 
We conduct business with national, state and local governments and government-owned enterprises.  In the course of our business activities, we frequently interact with government agencies and officials (elected and appointed).  In every instance, employees must adhere to the highest ethical standards and comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including special requirements associated with government contracts.  In addition, we comply with national, state and local restrictions and reporting requirements addressing political contributions, lobbying activities and gifts and business entertainment to public officials or governmental employees.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
The government contracting process can be complex and may impose a variety of legal obligations, not only on the business unit proposing the contract, but also on the Company as a whole.  Violating the terms of a government contract can potentially lead to severe criminal, civil and reputational damage for the Company and individual employees.  Violations can also lead to temporary or permanent loss of the ability to do business with the government entity.
 
·  
Government contracts include agreements with any country, regional, state, municipal or local agency or entity.  They also include deals with "quasi-government" entities, such as state-owned or run broadcasters, hospitals, universities, port authorities and convention centers and arenas.  Our government business may include:  (i) providing cable, internet or phone service to government entities; (ii) licensing content to government entities; (iii) production–related agreements (including participating in tax credit programs); (iv) advertising by government agencies or quasi-government entities; and (v) management agreements for government-owned facilities.
 
·  
There is no distinction between business secured by the government directly and business transacted by a private entity acting on behalf of the government.  For example, when an advertising agency places orders on behalf of a government agency, the resulting deal is a government transaction.
 
·  
The U.S. government and many state and local jurisdictions have laws requiring registration and reporting by any employee who engages in covered lobbying activity, and in many cases, also by the Company as the lobbyist’s employer.  Lobbying activity generally includes attempts to influence the passage or defeat of legislation.  In many jurisdictions, however, the definition of lobbying activity has been extended to cover efforts to influence formal rulemaking by executive branch agencies or other official actions of agencies, including the decision to enter into a contract or other financial
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 45

 
 
arrangement with the Company.  "Grassroots" activity, where the public is encouraged to contact their elected official or another public official in order to influence the passage or defeat of legislation or a rulemaking, may also be considered lobbying activity.
 
·  
U.S. federal law generally prohibits a corporation from making a political contribution to any federal candidate, national party committee, federal account of a state party committee or federal political committee (a federal PAC), although there are some narrow exemptions under which Company facilities and personnel may be used in connection with federal fundraising activities under certain limited circumstances.  We are also subject to similar state and local limitations on political contributions to candidates for state and local office, which may vary widely.
 
·  
If you wish to give a modest gift or provide business entertainment to a government official, the Company must ensure that it is acceptable to do so under applicable laws.  All gifts and business entertainment to any government official must be pre-approved by a Senior Attorney pursuant to the Gifts and Business Entertainment policy.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Abide by all applicable laws and regulations relating to working with governments, particularly special requirements associated with government contracts and transactions.
 
·  
Be truthful and accurate when dealing with government officials and agencies.
 
·  
Adopt processes that ensure that reports, certifications, statements and proposals are current, accurate and complete and that contract requirements are communicated to, complied with and documented by the responsible parties.
 
·  
Obtain required approvals from your business unit’s law department before entering into or renewing any government contract.
 
·  
To ensure that the Company and our employees are in compliance with applicable lobbying laws, do not engage in, or retain an outside person to engage in, any government lobbying activities (as described above) on behalf of the Company without the prior approval of your business unit’s General Counsel.
 
·  
Never use Company funds or other Company assets to make a political contribution, whether at the federal, state or local level, without the prior approval of your business unit’s General Counsel.  A "political contribution" means any benefit provided to a federal, state or local candidate, candidate campaign, political party, political committee (e.g., a political action committee ("PAC"), inaugural or ballot measure committee), political convention,  any entity exempt from federal income taxes under Section 527 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or non-profit (such as a 501(c)(4) social welfare

Page 46

 
 
organization or 501(c)(6) trade association) where there is any indication that the payment will be used for a political purpose.  This includes monetary contributions (e.g., a corporate check or purchase of tickets to a political fundraiser) as well as "in-kind" contributions (e.g., the use of corporate personnel or facilities, or the donation of free airtime to a candidate).
 
·  
In order to prevent an illegal in-kind corporate political contribution, do not use Company facilities, office space or personnel in connection with volunteer activity (such as fundraising) for a political campaign, or perform volunteer activity for a political campaign during work hours, without the prior approval of your business unit’s General Counsel.
 
·  
Employees are permitted and encouraged to participate in their personal capacity in federal, state and local political activities in compliance with applicable laws. However, do not engage in overt, visible or partisan political activity that gives the appearance that you are expressing the views of the Company, or use the Company’s name in connection with such activities, without the prior approval of your business unit’s General Counsel.
 
·  
Do not engage in political activities, or make personal political contributions, other than on your own time and from personal funds as a private citizen.  When making or soliciting personal political contributions, comply with applicable state and local "pay-to-play" laws that may trigger an automatic ban on the Company’s ability to enter into contracts with those government entities.  We will provide employees, officers and directors covered under these laws with appropriate additional information, including pre-clearance requirements where applicable.
 
·  
Do not request reimbursement or other compensation for personal political contributions. Under no circumstance will the Company reimburse, or otherwise compensate, any employee for a political contribution.
 
·  
Do not offer to employ, or retain as a consultant, a government official or a member of a government official’s immediate family without the prior approval of your business unit’s General Counsel.
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
·  
Special requirements that apply to transactions with governments, including contractual certifications and representations requiring compliance with specific laws and regulations.
 
·  
Submission of inaccurate or incomplete cost, pricing or other data to the government.

Page 47

 
 
·  
Donations to non-profits that have relationships with, or are solicited by, a public official or government employee.  For example, we must comply with U.S. lobbying rules that require the reporting of donations to organizations with certain relationships with a U.S. federal official, as well as expenses related to events that honor or recognize a U.S. federal official.  We have established separate procedures to capture information relating to these payments in order to comply with these reporting requirements.
 
·  
Collecting or forwarding political contribution checks from other people to a federal, state or local candidate, political party or political committee.  Any such "bundling" may be illegal and requires the prior approval of your business unit’s General Counsel.

Our Commitment to the Law
 
A fundamental obligation that we owe to the nations and communities in which we do business is to obey the law.  We adhere to all applicable laws everywhere we do business.  There is no business reason, no management pressure, no unwritten understanding that ever justifies violating the law.  If you feel pressured to violate a law, immediately contact a Company lawyer or Comcast Listens.  While this commitment refers to all applicable laws, a few areas are of particular significance.

Complying with Competition Laws
 
INTRODUCTION
 
Antitrust laws in the United States, known as competition laws in most other countries, are designed to ensure open and vigorous competition in the marketplace.  Agreements or understandings among competitors that limit or restrict competition are, in most circumstances, unlawful.  Unilateral actions can also be illegal if undertaken with the intention to injure or prevent competition.  The Company and our employees shall abide by the antitrust laws and all other laws governing fair competition applicable to our businesses.  Competition laws are complex and their application is fact specific. Consult a Company lawyer early when questions arise under this policy.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
Unfair competition involves agreements between or among competitors (expressed or implied, formal or informal, written or oral) that unreasonably restrain trade or reduce competition.  These may include, for example, agreements to fix prices or other competitive terms and agreements to allocate sales, customers or service territories.
 
·  
Unilateral efforts to control or restrict customer choice by companies with significant market power may also constitute unfair competition.
 
·  
It is possible for an entity to be both a valued partner for some purposes and a competitor for others.
 
·  
It is possible in certain situations for it to be improper for one Company employee to share information with another employee in a different business unit if it could be used in a way that injures competition.
 
·  
Government agencies can review proposed transactions and also investigate Company activities that they believe may result in unfair competition.
 
·  
Violating competition laws can have severe consequences, including criminal prosecution, criminal and civil fines and large damage awards.
 
·  
Detailed guidance regarding compliance with competition laws can be found in the Comcast Compliance Guide to the Antitrust and Competition Laws.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 50

 
 
·  
Understand and follow the Compliance Guide to the Antitrust and Competition Laws and any specific guidelines your business unit has regarding complying with competition laws.
 
·  
Don’t assume you’re an expert.  While the basic requirements of the competition laws -- to refrain from monopolizing or restraining trade -- are simple, the application of these principles to everyday circumstances often is not.
 
·  
Proceed with caution and seek guidance when you’re not sure.  Because application of competition laws to any situation is highly dependent on the particular circumstances, it is essential that you understand and avoid situations that could result in violation of the law, even unintentionally, and that you consult immediately with the law department of your business unit regarding any dealings that you suspect implicate competition laws.
 
·  
Do not enter into any agreements or understandings, or exchange information, with a competitor regarding prices, rates, terms or conditions of sale, bids, costs, profit margins, market share, business strategy or other confidential aspects of competition.
 
·  
Even where there are lawful business reasons to communicate with a competitor (for example, where supplier or customer issues arise from a genuine buyer-seller relationship), take care to avoid the appearance of anti-competitive behavior.
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
The following guidelines, while not a summary of the Compliance Guide to the Antitrust and Competition Laws, illustrate its principles.  Unless you have received specific guidance from the law department of your business unit, you should not:
 
·  
Seek price information from a competitor.
 
·  
Discuss the Company’s current or future plans or pricing with competitors.
 
·  
Share confidential Company information with a competitor.
 
·  
Agree with one or more competitors on any decision or course of action.
 
·  
Price any product or service below cost.
 
·  
Seek or require exclusivity in business arrangements.
 
·  
Seek to raise a competitor’s cost of doing business, such as paying above-market wages, preventing suppliers or contractors from dealing with a competitor, or agreeing to costly contractual requirements on the condition that competitors meet the same obligations.

Anti-Corruption Laws
 
INTRODUCTION
 
We prohibit bribery of any kind.  An improper payment to gain advantage in any situation is never acceptable and exposes you and the Company to criminal sanctions and/or civil liability pursuant to national, state and local anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-corruption laws of other countries. We expressly prohibit improper payments in all business dealings, with governments or in the private sector, in every country in the world.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
Never offer, promise, pay or authorize anything of value (such as gifts, business entertainment, discounts, meals, travel, goods, services, jobs for relatives or charitable contributions) to any government official, or to an employee of a supplier, contractor or other business partner, directly or through an intermediary, in order to influence an official decision or obtain or retain an improper advantage.  The term "government official" includes any officer or employee of a government or any department, agency or instrumentality (including a government-controlled enterprise) or of a public international organization (such as the United Nations), or any person acting on its behalf, or any political party, party official or candidate for political office.
 
·  
If you are asked for a gratuity or other payment by a government official or employee to expedite a routine, non-discretionary administrative action, you must contact a Company lawyer. "Facilitating payments" to expedite a routine administrative action to which a person is otherwise entitled (such as processing visas, permits or other routine government papers, or providing mail pick up or delivery, phone services or power and water supply) may be allowed in some circumstances, but also may be prohibited under local law.  Therefore, you are required to consult with and obtain prior approval from a Company lawyer before making any such payments.  If approved, all such facilitating payments must be clearly and accurately recorded in the Company’s financial books and records.
 
·  
The Company and its employees may, under some circumstances, be held responsible for the actions of independent third parties, including agents, consultants, business partners and other representatives (collectively, "agents") who will have contact with government officials on behalf of the Company.  Therefore, the Company must investigate potential agents’ reputation and experience prior to deciding to retain them, in order to protect against bribes given to government officials indirectly.
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 53

 
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Do not bribe, directly or indirectly, any third party, including a government official, in order to influence an official decision or obtain or retain an improper advantage.
 
·  
If you wish to give a modest gift or provide business entertainment to a government official, the Company must ensure that it is acceptable to do so under applicable laws.  All gifts and business entertainment to any government official must be pre-approved by a Senior Attorney pursuant to the Gifts and Business Entertainment policy.
 
·  
Follow Company due diligence, approval and contractual requirements when selecting agents to represent the Company to ensure that they are reputable and qualified, and that they agree to comply with applicable law and policy. You must receive approval from the law department of your business unit before entering into an agreement with an agent who will have contact with government officials on behalf of the Company.
 
·  
Make sure that records of gifts, business entertainment, gratuities, facilitating payments and like expenditures are fully and accurately maintained and reflect the true nature of the transaction.
 
·  
Contact a Company lawyer immediately if anyone offers you an improper payment or if you are concerned that such a payment has been offered to anyone else in the Company.
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
·  
Background information about existing or potential agents that indicates:
 
o  
allegations of improper business practices
 
o  
reputation for bribes
 
o  
family or other relationships that could improperly influence the decision of a government official
 
·  
Any demand to receive a commission payment before the finalizing of a transaction or announcement of an award decision.
 
·  
Any suggestion to direct Company business through a specific representative or partner due to a "special relationship."
 
·  
Any request to make a payment in a country or to a name not related to the transaction.
 
·  
A commission that is disproportionate to the services provided, or not consistent with reasonable business practices.

Money Laundering Prevention
 
INTRODUCTION
 
People involved in criminal activity (e.g., bribery, narcotics, fraud or terrorism) may try to "launder" the proceeds of their crimes to make it appear that they came from a legitimate source. Money laundering schemes may involve disguising the origin of funds, or transferring funds through third parties (such as a supplier) or through banks.  Many countries around the world (including the United States) have laws against money laundering.  We are committed to complying with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, conducting business only with reputable partners, and receiving funds only from legitimate sources.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
In order to protect the Company against attempts to launder money through our Company, we take reasonable steps, based on the level of risk, to detect and prevent unacceptable and suspicious forms of payment and to perform reasonable due diligence on our suppliers, contractors, customers and business partners.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Follow your business unit’s due diligence procedures for all suppliers, contractors, customers and business partners, including, when appropriate, checking that they do not appear on any government "watch lists" and ensuring that the banks they use to process transactions meet Company standards.
 
·  
Follow your business unit’s guidelines for acceptable forms of payment.  Routine customer cash payments for regular services, retail transactions or other traditional cash transactions with individual consumers would not likely require review.  Large cash payments in business-to-business transactions may require additional due diligence.
 
·  
Consult with the law department of your business unit if you encounter suspicious activity or have any questions about appropriate due diligence steps or concerns before proceeding further with the transaction.
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
·  
A supplier, contractor, customer or business partner who hesitates or refuses to provide requested background information.
 
·  
Requests for transactions to go through more than one bank or through a third-party account.

·  
Requests to make payments to, or receive payments from, any supplier, contractor, customer or business partner that is not the party to the transaction.
 
·  
Requests from a supplier, contractor, customer or business partner to conduct transactions with unknown banks or banks outside the country where the transaction is occurring or where the business partner has operations.

·  
Overpayments with requests for refunds.
 
·  
Transactions that occur in regions known for drug trafficking, terrorist or other criminal activities.
 
·  
Out-of-the ordinary transactions for a supplier, contractor, customer or business partner.

International Trade Controls
 
INTRODUCTION
 
International trade control ("ITC") laws regulate the movement of goods, services and technology across country borders and the conduct of business with certain countries, individuals and entities.  ITC laws include customs, trade restrictions (such as economic sanctions) and other import/export regulations, and are often based on national security and foreign policy concerns.  In order to do business in today’s global environment, we need to understand and follow applicable ITC laws and regulations, both in the United States and in other locations where we do business.
 
WHAT TO KNOW
 
·  
ITC laws may apply to various aspects of our operations, such as shipping products or other items between countries (e.g., DVDs, marketing materials, technology and software), sending equipment to other countries for international filming and production, and newsgathering in countries that are subject to legal embargoes and restrictions.
 
·  
 A government license may be required before certain regulated items may be sent into or out of a particular country.  For example, certain types of equipment used in filming, production and newsgathering (such as night vision lenses, special cameras and body armor) are restricted under U.S. trade control laws and cannot be exported without a government-issued license.
 
·  
U.S. restrictions on international trade are especially broad and complex.  They apply to Comcast, our U.S.-incorporated affiliates and their respective employees (regardless of nationality), as well as employees who are U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens, wherever located.  They may even apply to non-U.S. incorporated affiliates and their employees.  These restrictions also apply to anyone physically located in the United States, even if temporarily.
 
·  
U.S. law restricts business with certain foreign countries, such as Burma (Myanmar), Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Syria and North Korea, and with certain organizations and individuals that are suspected of supporting terrorism or engaging in drug trafficking.  Consult a Company lawyer for a current list of sanctioned countries, organizations and individuals.
 
·  
U.S. regulations provide limited exemptions for the export of "informational materials," which may include publications, films and other content.  Consult a Company lawyer for further information regarding applicable exemptions.
 
 
Speak Up! Comcast Listens.  Talk with your supervisor or visit
www.teamcomcast.com/integrity for information and options for reporting concerns.
 
Page 58

 
 
·  
U.S. law prohibits compliance with foreign boycotts that are not supported by the U.S. (e.g., the Arab League boycott of Israel), and also requires that certain requests to comply with such foreign boycotts be reported to the U.S. government.  Consult a Company lawyer if a proposed transaction involves a potential conflict between U.S. law and local laws.
 
WHAT TO DO
 
·  
Follow relevant ITC laws and regulations of all countries in which your business unit operates, as well as your business unit’s ITC procedures as they relate to cross-border shipments.
 
·  
Consult a Company lawyer before exporting equipment or other goods, or sending technology to a recipient in another country.
 
·  
Provide complete and accurate information when completing customs forms and other required documents.
 
·  
Do not retain a customs broker, shipper or other third party to handle customs matters or other cross-border shipments without due diligence and approvals required by your business unit, including screening against government "watch lists."
 
·  
Do not cooperate with any restrictive trade practice or boycott that is prohibited or penalized under U.S. or other applicable country or local laws.  Consult a Company lawyer if you receive a request to comply with a foreign boycott, including a request to supply boycott-related information, such as a request to furnish information about the race, religion, sex, national origin or nationality of U.S. residents working on a Company project in a boycotting country.
 
·  
Conduct screening against government "watch lists" when and as required by your business unit.  Consult a Company lawyer if any proposed business activity (e.g., licensing content, newsgathering) relates to a sanctioned country, a citizen or representative of a sanctioned country, or an individual subject to government sanctions.
 
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
 
·  
Invoices for imported or exported goods in which the price shown does not reflect its actual value, the description of the goods is incomplete, the goods are improperly classified or the country of origin is not correctly identified.
 
·  
Any payment to an importer or exporter, or any payment benefiting an importer or exporter that is not included in the invoice price or otherwise reported.
