We commit to absolute integrity in everything we do.
We recognize, value and exemplify ethical leadership at all levels of our organization.
We follow the Illumina Code of Conduct, applicable Illumina policies and regulations governing
our business.
We act in an honest, fair, and trustworthy manner in all relationships.
We reward our employees fairly and according to performance only.
We do not use forced or compulsory labor in any part of our business.
We encourage creativity, teamwork and open debate as everyone works to their fullest potential
to drive innovation.
We identify conflicts of interest and take action to mitigate them.
We all play a role in ensuring Illumina’s products and services are safe and of the highest quality.
We seek help and speak up whenever we are in doubt.

Why Have a Channel Partner Code of Conduct
Illumina is committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations,and with the highest ethical standards. Review the Illumina CEO message here for more information
about our enduring commitment to ethical conduct. The Channel Partner Code of Conduct (the “Code”)
outlines the ethical and legal commitments we must uphold. It also provides general guidance aboutcommon issues. The Code, however, does not seek to cover every question or issue that may arise.
Channel Partners should consult with local management and external counsel to understand local
requirements that may be different than the Code. See the Reporting Issues and Seeking Guidance
section for information on where to seek help when you need it. When there is a conflict between local
requirements, laws, trade codes and Illumina Policy you should always follow whatever is more
restrictive.
Illumina is a member of the Advanced Medical Technology Association and MedTech Europe. Channel
Partners are required to adhere to the applicable provisions of the AdvaMed Code of Ethics and the
MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice. For questions about these industry codes, contact
Illumina Channel Compliance, and see Reporting Issues and Seeking Guidance for more information.

Following the Code
The Code applies to every Illumina Channel Partner, including channel partner employees, officers,
directors, agents and other third parties acting on Illumina’s behalf (collectively, the “Channel Partners”).
The Code also applies to all Channel Partner affiliates and subsidiaries.
Following the Code means following all applicable Illumina policies and governing law. All the policies
referenced in this Code are available on the Illumina Content Engine (“ICE”), unless otherwise indicated.
Illumina expects all third parties we work with to meet the ethical standards set forth in this Coderegardless of training and certification requirements.
Page 3Illumina Channel Partner Code of ConductIllumina is a rapidly expanding company that is subject to an ever-changing set of laws and regulations.
As a result, it is not possible to discuss all the rules that govern our work together. By following the Code,we will remain in compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to our work. Like Illumina, Channel
Partners will continually strive to uphold the highest ethical standards.

What Illumina Expects From Channel Partner Executive Leadership
Illumina expects all Channel Partner executive leadership to build trust, lead by example and act as rolemodels. In addition, Channel Partner executive leadership must support ethics and compliance by:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Reinforcing the Code and ensuring it is consistently applied;
Communicating relevant policies to employees and other third parties;
Helping employees and third parties understand what constitutes improper conduct wheninteracting with customers;
Maintaining an open-door environment;
Actively encouraging all employees to raise any questions or concerns to Illumina and/or Channel
Partner management;
Responding to reports of misconduct quickly, appropriately and without retaliation; andPromptly escalating reports of improper behavior when warranted.

How executive leadership responds to ethics and compliance issues is one of the most important factors
contributing to the success of an ethics and compliance program. For more information about thisprogram, refer to the Compliance Department section of this Code.

Reporting Issues and Seeking Guidance
Channel Partners have a responsibility to support Illumina’s ethical culture. If you think you havewitnessed misconduct of any kind, you are required to inform Illumina. Channel Partners are also
expected to seek guidance when the right course of action is not clear or when there is a question about
how to handle a situation. Channel Partners should voice any concerns they have about something that
does not seem quite right – even if the issue does not involve the Channel Partner directly.
Proactively addressing potential misconduct helps Illumina and our Channel Partners maintain our
reputation as honest and accountable business partners. A Channel Partner’s executive team shouldhave an open-door policy that encourages employees to discuss all concerns and speak up about
potential misconduct.
Channel Partner employees may also reach out to the following Illumina contacts to discuss potential
issues:•••Page 4

webpage here.

The Compliance and Fraud Prevention Hotline is a third-party hosted service that is available 24 hours aday, seven days a week. You may report anonymously where permitted by local law; however, disclosing
your identity allows Illumina to conduct a more expeditious and thorough investigation relating to yourconcerns.

All Reports Are Treated As Important
Illumina and its Channel Partners value the reports we receive because speaking up helps maintain an
ethical culture. Each report is taken seriously and kept confidential to the extent allowed by local law
and adequate resolution of the issue. Please contact Illumina Channel Compliance with any questions.

No Retaliation
Regardless of whether an investigation of a report reveals that a legal or ethical violation has occurred,
Channel Partners will not retaliate against anyone who makes a good faith report. The reason for this issimple: Anyone who makes a report in good faith is acting in the best interest of the Channel Partnerand Illumina.
There are many forms of retaliation, such as termination of employment, reduction in pay orcompensation or other negative changes to one’s conditions of employment as a result of good faithreporting. No matter what form retaliation takes, Illumina and the Channel Partner’s stance is always
the same: we will not tolerate it. We will take disciplinary and/or remedial action against anyone who
retaliates in response to a good faith report.

The Channel Compliance Department
Illumina has created the Channel Compliance Department to manage Illumina’s Channel Partner
Compliance Program. The Channel Compliance Department is responsible for (a) providing compliancetraining to our Channel Partners, (b) helping spot wrongdoing, (c) investigating any reports of
misconduct, and (d) remediating conduct to help Channel Partners and Illumina uphold an ethicalculture. The Channel Partner point of contact for compliance matters is available at channelcompliance@illumina.com.

Gifts,Entertainment and Appropriate Business Meals for HCPs andGovernment Officials
GIVING GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT TO HCPs IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
We must follow special rules when interacting with Healthcare Professionals (“HCPs”) and government
officials. See Illumina’s Integrity Code For Interactions with Healthcare Professionals and Government
Officials Policy and Illumina’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy for more information. If you havespecific questions about whether any gifts or entertainment is appropriate in a given circumstance,
contact Illumina Channel Compliance.

Gifts and Entertainment for Non-HCPs and Non-Government Officials
In certain business situations, it is common to give and receive gifts. A gift is anything of value, such as abottle of wine, gift basket or promotional item. If someone offers a meal or entertainment and won’t be
in attendance, it is considered a gift. When exchanging gifts, you need to exercise caution and good
judgment. Any gift you offer or accept must be unsolicited, reasonable, infrequent, in good taste,customary for the business environment and permitted by Illumina policies and local law.
Entertainment, such as meals and cultural or sporting events that you attend with a supplier, customer
or business partner, may be a good tool for building strong business connections. Any entertainment
you offer or accept should be appropriate, modest, infrequent and unsolicited. You should use theseopportunities to discuss business matters and build goodwill. Before you incur any entertainment
expenses, you should obtain approval pursuant to Illumina’s policies. Entertainment must never beoffered or accepted to obtain or retain business. See Illumina’s Providing and Receiving Business

Accurate Records
One way we demonstrate our integrity is by maintaining honest, accurate, objective and complete
records. Doing so allows us to make sound business decisions and truthfully reflect our financial health.
It also helps us provide accurate reports to governments and others as needed.
Our commitment to maintaining accurate records does not only apply to financial documents. Records
are all physical or electronic documents a Channel Partner creates as part of its work. We must ensurethat all information that may become part of a record is forthright and accurate. This includes sales,
costs, expenses and hours worked. A Channel Partner may never misrepresent, falsify or alter data orhide any records.
Those who work with Channel Partner’s financial records have a responsibility when it comes to accurate
record keeping. They must produce honest, accurate, complete and timely disclosures that comply withall applicable laws and regulations. They must ensure that these records accurately reflect the truth of
the underlying transaction or event, and the records must follow generally accepted accounting
standards.
To be sure we are creating accurate records and honoring our commitment to integrity, Channel Partners
should follow these guidelines:•••

Sign, approve or transmit a record only if you believe it is truthful and accurate and you areauthorized to do so;
Provide timely and candid forecasts and assessments, without omitting or misrepresenting
relevant material information; andRemember that memos, email, voice mail, social network postings and instant messages may beconsidered business records, so avoid exaggeration, derogatory language and other expressions
that could be taken out of context.

Upholding Senior Financial Officers’ Responsibilities
When it comes to ensuring that Channel Partner records are accurate, the Channel Partner’s seniorfinancial officers have a special responsibility to promote integrity within the organization. To be clear,these additional obligations extend to the Channel Partner’s: (1) chief executive officer, (2) chief financial
officer and (3) principal accounting officer(s), controller(s) or anyone performing a similar function.
These employees are expected to ensure that any necessary public disclosures are full, fair, accurate,
timely and understandable. In addition, they must report any transaction that could be expected tocreate a conflict of interest. Finally, they must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations,promptly reporting any violations.

transaction involving Illumina products, contact Illumina Channel Compliance, and review the Reporting
Issues and Seeking Guidance section of the Code.

Audits and Investigations
In the course of a Channel Partner’s work with Illumina, a Channel Partner may be asked to provide
information related to an audit or investigation. In these situations, the Channel Partner must cooperate
fully and provide truthful, complete and accurate information. Channel Partners may never mislead any
auditor or investigator, and never destroy, falsify, conceal or alter records related to any potential or
pending audit or investigation.
To help ensure that Channel Partners respond appropriately, promptly notify Illumina Channel
Compliance if a government agency or third-party contacts you requesting an interview or access to a
Channel Partner location, data or records in connection with any regulatory agency’s audit orinvestigation relating to Illumina business activities. We want to ensure that we provide all appropriate
information and that Illumina and the Channel Partner’s rights are protected.

Anti-Corruption
Anti-corruption laws are complex and continually evolving. If you have any question about whether youractions will violate these laws, seek advice before acting.

contains detailed and specific standards. For advice on whether your actions violate Illumina policy or
any anti-corruption laws, please contact Illumina Channel Compliance.

Appropriate Interactions with HCPs
Illumina is committed to fostering ethical relationships with HCPs that advance medical science, improvehealthcare, help develop innovative medical products and support medical research and education.

each Channel Partner must know and comply with all applicable laws, regulations, industry codes ofpractice and Illumina policies that govern these interactions. Channel Partners may never offer orprovide an improper inducement to an HCP. Remember, an HCP not only includes physicians and otherclinical personnel who provide healthcare, but also includes any person or third-party intermediaries ofany healthcare organization, whether clinical or non-clinical, in a position to purchase, lease,
recommend, use or arrange for the purchase or lease of Illumina products or services. Review Illumina’s
