Promax Automotive, Inc. Compliance Program Established July 2010 Previously (since 2002) followed Itochu’s Policy
Promax Automotive, Inc. • Promax participates in the Itochu Group Compliance Program and complies with all terms and conditions of the Itochu program, which is made a part of the Promax program by reference hereto. • If you have any comments or questions about this document, please contact the ADM department of Promax. Telephone: 765-447-4340 or 513-603-6011. Email: abishop@promaxauto.com or csanders@promaxauto.com. • Promax Automotive has been in compliance with the Itochu Group Compliance Program since its inception in November, 2002. This document is a supplemental document to the Itochu program and is intended to supply the information specific to Promax only.
July, 2010To All Associates of Promax • The Itochu Group Compliance Program defines basic policies about compliance within the Itochu Group. Promax wishes to further the promotion of compliance activities in the future and has therefore completed this additional statement of Promax's Compliance Program to align the compliance activities and the contents of both Programs as much as possible. We intend to review the contents of the Programs annually with the goal of improving the necessary systems. • All associates of Promax are encouraged to review the compliance program and individual specific measures to encourage stricter compliance in each associate’s job responsibilities. • Recently the word “compliance” is used more frequently and more effective systems are being established. However, misconduct, incidents, or accidents in connection with compliance still occur and Promax is no exception. Compliance-related problems seriously affect business activities, and can bring a company to its knees. Therefore Promax must deal with compliance-related problems seriously. • We hope that all management members of Promax will carry out reviews of the compliance system and basic actions, stress timely reporting of incidents, encourage compliance training to help prevent occurrences, and act under the basic Itochu philosophies of “ Acts of fraud and violations can never be permitted” and “Obeying laws and regulations is a fundamental rule.” Y. Hayano CEO/President G. A. Bishop CAO and Compliance Officer Promax Automotive, Inc.
