BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS AND FAIR COMPETITION We compete hard but play fair, everywhere we do business At Nike, we are fortunate that many companies worldwide would like to do business with us. Consequently, we choose who we do business with carefully. Our aim is to always create productive relationships with organizations that share our values, meet their commitments and comply with the law. We compete fairly and comply with all applicable antitrust and competition laws in the countries where we operate. We should avoid discussing any of our business strategies or plans with competitors, even informally. Nike is committed to complying with anti-money laundering laws throughout the world. As a company, we simply won’t tolerate or participate in any such activity. As always, report any suspicious activity to the Ethics & Compliance Office immediately. I’m a store athlete and I have some friends who work in competitor stores in the mall. Sometimes they ask me about our hourly sales targets and how we price footwear for the next season. Is it OK to give them that information if I keep it vague? No. Sales targets, future product pricing and any financial information are confidential information. In addition to violating agreements you may have signed with Nike when you were hired, you also may be violating competition laws that limit these discussions. We must independently set our product prices. My retail customer keeps discounting below our recommended price. Can I ask them to maintain pricing as recommended by Nike? No. We cannot control the prices that our distributors and retailers charge in the marketplace.
