3 Introduction Jones Lang LaSalle is committed to a corporate culture that embraces and promotes strong principles of business and professional ethics at every level.

4 US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Prohibits the bribery of foreign officials in an attempt to reduce corruption and money laundering through the global financial system. Corrupt political officials are targeted with a view to preventing government officials from exploiting their positions to gain unfair commercial advantage. Applies to US and foreign firms and persons who cause, directly or through agents, an act in furtherance of such a corrupt payment to take place within the territory of the US, this can include bank transfers through US banks or USD accounts Prohibits corrupt payments through intermediaries. It is unlawful to make a payment to a third party, while knowing that all or a portion of the payment will go directly or indirectly to a foreign official. The term "knowing" includes conscious disregard and deliberate ignorance. August

5 UK Anti-Bribery Act Covers business that takes place in the UK and with UK companies globally and UK citizens. This Act replaces the common law offence of bribery, with two general offences: Offering, promising or giving an improper advantage (broadly, bribing another person) Requesting, agreeing to receive or accepting an improper advantage (broadly, seeking or receiving a bribe) The Act also creates two further specific offences: An offence of bribery of a foreign public official in order to obtain or retain business A new offence applicable to a commercial organisation that fails to prevent a bribe being paid by a person associated with it with the intention of obtaining or retaining business or an advantage in the conduct of business August

6 US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and Other Non-US Government Prohibited Persons Lists The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze assets under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments. In addition, other countries governments have similar types of prohibited persons regulations that we must comply with, including countries such as: United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, and many other countries that JLL operates in.
