The Named Officers must conduct the Company’s business with honesty and integrity, including avoiding any actual or apparent conflict of interest with the Company. A “conflict of interest” occurs when an individual’s private interest interferes, or even appears to interfere, in any way with the interests of the Company as a whole. Named Officers should not have any undisclosed, unapproved financial, business or other relationships with suppliers, customers, competitors or the Company that might impair the independence of any judgment they need to make on behalf of the Company. If a Named Officer considers undertaking any transaction or relationship that reasonably could beexpected to give rise to an actual or apparent conflict or disparity of interest between him/her and the Company or in him/her personal or professional relationship, the Named Officer must disclose such activity in advance to Yoram Ashery (+ 972-4-909-7790, yoram@givenimaging.com) (the “***Legal Compliance Officer***”) for review and, if necessary, referral to the Company’s legal counsel and/or Audit Committee.

The Named Officers are responsible for full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “***SEC***”) and in other public communications made by the Company. All Named Officers must, and must make reasonable efforts to cause the Company to, comply with the system of disclosure controls and procedures devised, implemented and maintained by the Company to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports and documents that it files or submits to the SEC and in other publiccommunications made by the Company is properly authorized, executed, recorded, processed, summarized and reported.
**•**
The Named Officers must promptly report to the Company’s Audit Committee any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, including corrective actions, in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data.

The Named Officers shall promptly report information or knowledge of any act in violation of this Code, the Code of Business Conduct or other laws, rules, regulations, or which he or she believes to be unethical, to the Legal Compliance Officer. The Named Officers shall submit any concerns or complaints anonymously and/or confidentially regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and investigation, which will treat such submissions confidentially. If the Named Officers have any questions regarding the best course of action in a particular situation, the Named Officers should promptly contact the Legal ComplianceOfficer.

The Board of Directors shall determine, or designate appropriate persons to determine, appropriate actions to be taken in the event of violations of this Code or the Code of Business Conduct by the Named Officers. Such actions shall be reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote accountability for adherence to this Code and the Code of Business Conduct. In determining what action is appropriate in a particular case, the Board of Directors or such designee shall take into account all relevant information, including the nature and severity of the violation, whether the violation was intentional or inadvertent, the extent of the likely damage to the Company and its shareholders resulting fromthe violation and whether the Named Officer has committed previous violations of this Code, the Code of Business Conduct or other Company policy concerning ethical behavior. The Board of Directors shall provide a written notice to the individual involved in the violation stating that the Board of Directors or such designee has determined that there has been a violation and indicating the action to be taken by the Board of Directors against the individual, which may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
