CODE OF ETHICS FOR DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT

This Code of Ethics for Directors and Senior Management (“Code”) helps maintain the standards of business conduct for GLOBAL BROADCAST NEWS LIMITED (“Company”). The purpose of this Code is to deter wrongdoing and promote ethical conduct. Ethical business conduct is critical to the business of the Company. Accordingly, the following officers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Officers”) are expected to read and understand this Code, uphold these standards in day-to-day activities, comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and all applicable policies adopted by the Company:

• All Directors of the Company
• "Senior management" of the Company i.e. all members of management one level below the executive directors, including all general managers and functional heads.

1. Honest and Ethical Conduct
   
   All Officers are expected to act in accordance with the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and maintain honest and ethical conduct while working on the Company’s premises or at offsite locations where the Company’s business is being conducted or any other place where the Officers are representing the Company.
   
   
2. Conflict of Interest
   
   Each Officer has a responsibility to the Company, its stockholders and each other. Although this duty does not prevent them from engaging in personal transactions and investments, it does demand that they avoid situations where a conflict of interest might occur or appear to occur.
   
   The Company is subject to scrutiny from many different individuals and organizations. All Officers should always strive to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. All Officers must avoid situations involving actual or potential conflict of interest. Personal or romantic involvement with a competitor, supplier, or subordinate employee of the company, which impairs an employee's ability to exercise good judgment on behalf of the Company, creates an actual or potential conflict of interest. Supervisor-subordinate romantic or personal relationships also can lead to supervisory problems, possible claims of sexual harassment, and morale problems.
   
   An Officer involved in any of the types of relationships or situations described in this Code should immediately and fully disclose the relevant circumstances to his or her immediate supervisor, if any, or any other appropriate supervisor, or the Managing Director, for a determination about whether a potential or actual conflict exists. If an actual or potential conflict is determined, the Company may take whatever corrective action appears appropriate according to the circumstances. Failure to disclose facts shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action.
   
   A conflict of interest exists where the interests or benefits of one person or entity conflict with the interests or benefits of the Company. Examples include:
   
   (i) Employment/ Outside Employment
   
   In consideration of an officers employment with the Company, he/she is expected to devote his / her full attention to the business interests of the Company. He/She is prohibited from engaging in any activity that interferes with his / her performance or responsibilities to the Company or is otherwise in conflict with or prejudicial to the Company. The policies of the Company prohibit any employee from accepting simultaneous employment with a Company supplier, customer, developer or competitor, or any other company with which the company is in discussions or negotiations or from taking part in any activity that enhances or supports a competitor's position.
   
   Additionally, he / she must disclose to the Company any interest that he / she have that may conflict with the business of the Company. If he / she has any questions on this requirement, please contact the Human Resources Department.
   
   (ii) Outside Directorships
   
   It is a conflict of interest to serve as a director of any company that competes with the Company. Directors are required to disclose their directorships in other companies to the Board of Directors and / or the Company Secretary from time to time.
   
   (iii) Business Interests
   
   If he / she is considering investing in a Company customer, supplier, developer or competitor, he / she must first take great care to ensure that these investments do not compromise his / her responsibilities to the Company. Many factors should be considered in determining whether a conflict exists, including the size and nature of the investment; his / her ability to influence the Company’s decisions; his / her access to confidential information of the Company or of the other company; and the nature of the relationship between the Company and the other company.
   
   Directors making investments in a personal capacity may do so up to the maximum of 5% of the equity share capital of the investee company in a single financial year.
   
   (iv) Related Parties

Relatives include spouse, siblings, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, step relationships, and in-laws.
   
   Officers of the Company shall disclose any related party transactions to the Board from time to time. Related party transactions of Officer of a value equal to or greater than Rs. 5,00,00 in any financial year must be reviewed and approved in writing in advance by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company must report all such material related party transactions under applicable accounting rules, SEBI, Indian Companies Act, and securities market rules as applicable to the Company. Any dealings with a related party must be conducted in such a way that no preferential treatment is given to this business.
   
   The Company discourages the employment of relatives in positions or assignments within the same department and prohibits the employment of such individuals in positions that have a financial or other dependence or influence (e.g., an auditing or control relationship, or a supervisor/subordinate relationship).
   
   The purpose of this policy is to prevent the organizational impairment and conflicts that are a likely outcome of the employment of relatives or significant others, especially in a supervisor/subordinate relationship. If a question arises about whether a relationship is covered by this policy, the Human Resources Department is responsible for determining whether an Officer’s acknowledged relationship is covered by this policy and the decision. The Human Resources Department shall advise all affected Officers of this policy. Willful withholding of information regarding a prohibited relationship/reporting arrangement will be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination. If a prohibited relationship exists or develops between two Officers, the Officer in the senior position must bring this to the attention of his/her supervisor/Managing Director.
   
   The Company retains the prerogative to separate the individuals at the earliest possible time, either by reassignment or by termination, if necessary.
   
   (v) Other Situations
   
   Because other conflicts of interest may arise, it would be impractical to attempt to list all possible situations.

Directors may consult the Chairman of the Board of Directors in case of any such instances. The Chairman may refer the same to the Legal Department or Human Resources Department for clarification.
