Ethics
are important to Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. (“PST”, collectively the
“Company”) and to each member of our management, our investment professionals
and employees. The Company is committed to the highest ethical standards and to
conducting our business with the highest level of integrity.





Each of
us at the Company, including members of senior management and our Board of
Directors, is responsible for maintaining this level of integrity and for
complying with the policies contained in this Code. If you have a question or
concern about what is proper conduct for you or anyone else, please raise these
concerns with any member of management, or follow the procedures outlined in
this Code.




Purpose of the
Code




This Code is intended to:




·
            Help
      you recognize ethical issues and take the appropriate steps to resolve
      these issues;




·
            Deter
      ethical violations




·
            Assist
      you in reporting any unethical or illegal conduct;
  and




·
            Reaffirm
      and promote our commitment to a culture without our company that values
      honesty and accountability.




All
employees, as a condition of employment or continued employment, are required to
annually acknowledge in writing that they have received a copy of this Code,
read it, and understand that the Code contains the Company’s expectations
regarding employee conduct.




Conflicts of
Interest




You must
avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between your personal
interests and the interests of the Company. A conflict exists when your personal
interest in any way interferes with the interests of the Company as a whole, or
when you take any action or have any interest that may make it difficult for you
to perform your job objectively and effectively. For example, a conflict of
interest probably exists if:




·
            You
      cause the Company to enter into business relationships with you or a
      member of your family, or invest in companies affiliated with you or a
      member of your family;




·
            You
      use any nonpublic information about the Company, our affiliates, out
      lenders, our clients, or our business partners for your personal gain, of
      the gain of a member of your family;
or




·
            You
      or a family member receive a loan, or guarantee of a loan or other
      obligation, as a result of your position with the
  Company.




You must
disclose any conflicts of interest, or any action or relationship that might
give rise to a conflict, to the President. In the event that the President is
involved in the action or relationship giving rise to the conflict of interest,
you should disclose the conflict to any other member of senior
management.




Corporate
Opportunities




Each of
us has a duty to advance the legitimate interests of the Company when the
opportunity to do so presents itself. Therefore, you may not:




·
            Take
      for yourself personally opportunities, including investment opportunities,
      discovered through the use of your position with the Company, or through
      the use of the Company’s property or
  information;









·
            Use
      the Company’s property, information, or position for your personal gain of
      the gain of a family member; or

            Compete
      or prepare to compete, with the
Company.

in preparing and making public communications regarding our business must take
all reasonable steps to comply with this policy, including the steps described
in our Disclosure Policy, Controls and Procedures.




Confidentiality




You must
not disclose confidential information regarding the Company, our affiliates, our
lenders, our clients, or our other business partners, unless disclosure is
authorized or required by law. Confidential information includes all non-public

Company, our affiliates, our lenders, our clients, or our other business
partners.

Company’s competitors. You must not take unfair advantage of these or other
parties by means of:

·
            Concealment;




·
            Abuse
      of privileged information;




·
            Misrepresentations
      of material facts; or




·
            Any
      other unfair-dealing practice.




Protection and Proper use of
Company Assets




The
Company assets are to be used only for legitimate business purposes. You should
protect the Company’s assets and ensure that they are used
efficiently.





Incidental
personal use of telephones, fax machines, copy machines, personal computers and
similar equipment is generally allowed if there is no significant added cost to
the Company, it does not interfere with an employee’s work duties, and is not
related to an illegal activity or to any outside business.




Compliance with Applicable
Laws, Rules, and Regulations




Each of
us has a duty to comply with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to our
business. In particular, you must comply with all laws, rules and regulations
pertaining to:




·
            Insider trading. It is
      against the law to buy or sell securities using material information that
      is not available to the public. Individuals who give this “inside”
      information to others may be liable to the same extent as the individuals
      who trade while in possession of such information. You must not trade in
      the securities of the Company, or the securities of our affiliates, our
      lenders, our clients, or our other business partners while in the
      possession of “inside” information.




·
            “Whistleblower”
      protections. It is against the law to discharge, demote, suspend,
      threaten, harass, or discriminate in any manner against an employee who
      provides information or otherwise assists in investigations or proceedings
      relating to violations of federal securities laws or other federal laws
      prohibiting fraud against shareholders. You must not discriminate in any
      way against an employee who engages in these “whistleblower”
      activities.




Please
talk to your supervisor or any member of senior management if you have any
questions about how to comply with the above regulations and other laws, rules
and regulations.

Equal Opportunity and
Harassment




The
Company is committed to providing equal opportunity in all of our employment
practices including selection, hiring, promotion, transfer, and compensation of
all qualified applicants and employees without regard to race, color, sex or
gender, religion, age, national origin, handicap, disability, citizenship
status, or any other status protected by law. With this in mind, there are
certain behaviors that will not be tolerated. These include harassment,
violence, intimidation, and discrimination of any kind involving race, color,
religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, or marital
status.




Accuracy of Company
Records




The
Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in
order to make responsible business decisions. This includes such data as
quality, safety, and personnel records, as well as financial
records.





All
financial books, records and accounts must accurately reflect transactions and
events, and conform both to required accounting principles and to the Company’s
system of internal controls. No false or artificial entries may be
made.




Retaining Business
Communications




The law
requires us to maintain certain types of corporate records, usually for
specified periods of time. Failure to retain those records for those minimum
periods could subject the Company to penalties and fines, cause the loss of
rights, obstruct justice, place the Company in contempt of court, or seriously
disadvantage the Company in litigation.





From time
to time the Company establishes retention or destruction policies in order to
ensure legal compliance. The Company expects all employees to fully comply with
any published records retention or destruction policies, provided that all
employees should note the following exception: If an employee believes, or the
Company informs you, that the Company’s records are relevant to litigation, or
potential litigation, then all employees must preserve those records until the
Company determines the records are no longer needed. This exception supersedes
any previously or subsequently established destruction policies for those
records. If an employee believes that this exception may apply, or has any
questions regarding the possible applicability of that exception, please contact
the President.




Political
Contributions




No funds
of the Company may be given directly to political candidates. Employees may,
however, engage in political activity with their own resources on their own
